You’re all dressed but if you’re looking to impress, fast food or take-out just won’t do. It’s a tall task picking out an ideal place – the food must be ambrosial and satisfying; the restaurant’s ambience has to get the mood right and to allow for free-flowing conversation. To help a brother/sister out, we’ve narrowed down the list a little. Here are three places for your next date night.

Vineyard @ Hort Park

Nestled amid the lush greenscape of Hort Park, Vineyard is a charming “garden-to-table” French Italian restaurant where every visit warrants a feast for the senses. Inside, the restaurant features beautifully aged-wood tables, overhung foliage and edible garden that takes diners on a journey away from the bustling city.

Don Ho

Don Ho is a social kitchen and bar that sports industrial tropical-inspired décor, setting a quiet and classy atmosphere for diners. Offering handcrafted cocktails, their menu is a fusion from the best of the east and west, allowing diners to focus on hearty conversations.
