Le Mistral
Ranked as the number one romantic date spot in Houston by Guidespot, Le Mistral offers a french bistro-like atmosphere and quaint, romantic vibe. Entrees include everything from lamb to sea bass, and the wine list (while somewhat short) features something for everyone's tastes. The outdoor patio and bar area add some ambiance to a romantic evening, as do dessert options like chocolate souffle and carmelized apple tart.

Home Plate Bar & Grill
Rated by Urbanspoon voters as the most romantic restaurant in Houston, Home Plate Bar & Grill isn't romantic in the typical sense (there is no dim lighting and soothing music). Rather, it's romantic in the sense that couples looking to enjoy a ballgame together can kick off or finish their evening at this establishment, which resides adjacent to Minute Maid Park (home of the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball). Home Plate features a full bar and ballpark favorites like burgers and hot dogs. This is the place to be for those couples looking for an out-of-the-norm date night.
