I live in a city where there is no shortage of fine dining restaurants as well as casual and dinner dates is one of my favorites.
One of the best settings for a dinner date is a restaurant that has great service and ambiance.
Even better if seating is a little far away from other patrons.

Another option is room service I have done this quite a few times for dinner dates when we did not feel like getting dressed up again to go down for dinner.It can be quite intimate

Too bad they don't write them like that anymore.

Check out some of the GoG action on the dance floor folks!

See what she likes to eat, first of all.

I find that many gals are meat and potatoes gals, so I take them to a place like Mortons, or other reputable steak house.  I tend to order fish when I'm out for several reasons not the least of which is that it is lighter on the stomach, a stomach that will be bouncing around in a short while.  (Of course, the waiter always sets the steak in front of me, and the fish in front of my date.8o)

But some gals love the unusual or ethnic, so I look for a good restaurant with those attributes.  

Then there is one long time favorite that just loves Outbacks.  She's always a bit nervous going to someplace fancy.

One gal I know works in a restaurant.  So I always cook for her at my home.

There's never a one size fits all rule for these things.

I started offering dinner on me at my place because for one the guys love coming in and dinner is already there waiting n I'm already dressed for all the fun after it saves the guy a few bucks too. It's really hard for me to venture out without getting recognized and it's a great way to include teasing beyond what one could do in a public place. Talk about steak and bj!! Lol!!
Hugs and kisses

That's awesome! On the flip side, I prefer to order delivery to my place for an outcall. There are so many choices now that you don't have to settle for just pizza or Chinese anymore. However, I prefer to eat After we work  up an appetite.

was not a fan of them and let me know in no uncertain terms.

 
You know I had thought about setting up something like this.  
Lol during football I was going to see if I could request a Sunday funfest
Which would include cooking. My thought was for a lady to show  
Up Sunday around 10am with groceries that I would pay for. We would plan the meal
Ahead of time. Let her cook in that kitchen Area ? Lol I call it ice place with weird appliances  
Have something sexy she can wear. Provided by me of course lol (jersey of my fave team. That  
Barely covers her private parts.) and have her make the food. Then while the game is on  we can
Flirt and fuck and bet. Lol my team scores you bbbbj me till the next turn over. Etc, maybe some
Flash the pussy stuff during the game when it's slow. Sex on the couch. All kinds of stuff.  
I guess that cool ass sexy chick that is part tomboy but still feminine and sexy.  One Sunday a month
During the season.  
Wonder what the rate for that would be

Has she opened up a school to learn how to do this? Oh and I know you can do this without taking said class! Plus you wouldn't add a new persona to offer it!

I've been doing this for quite a while.  Several YEARS. lol Rarely do I do the cooking.  There are a ton of upscale restaurants within 5 miles of me so I just get carry out, grab the wine. I save all my energy for all the fucking we can do Lol I have lots of guys that love this n yes they all know it's the one and only me
I really love an evening IN so no waiting on our table, no reservations n just food n fun.  
We usually have desert in bed though
Hugs and kisses

I agree with Jaydalee, and I'll add to that.

Many gentleman that take me out, whether to a fine dining venue or a casual bar setting are gentleman passing through or single as they aren't worried about being seen with another woman. It's whatever you're in the mood for if you fit into that category. She won't mind either way as long as you're comfortable and having a good time. Just let her know ahead of time so that she can dress appropriately.

Married gentleman I see in their home cities, yes, we usually do room service. However, last week I saw a gentleman that didn't even want room service coming to our room. So he picked up a bunch of items from a place a couple of blocks away and we had an in-room picnic, and it was so much fun! We didn't have to get dressed, we didn't have to leave, and we could alternate between having fun and jumping up for another bite of cheesecake and a refill of wine ; )

Across from each other is conversation and googly eyes, some footsie.
Beside each other (same side of table) is hands on action, but difficult to talk.
Next to each other (adjacent sides of table), is easier to talk but harder to touch downstairs.
And let's not forget the rounded table with a rounded couch which puts you beside each other but also looking somewhat toward one another.  Sure, it may be a table for 8 but put on your ego and tell the waiter you want THAT table.

High back chairs will limit how much of your conversation can be overheard by others.

Candlelight is HIGHLY recommended.

Restaurant in/adjacent to your hotel is recommended so there's minimal transition time after dinner.  Cab rides suck, but can also be great if you're both daring!

If you're near a beach, river, mountain, or scenic view, then go for a place that leverages it.  Some folks may chastise your spending but bear in mind, it's YOUR fantasy and the only one who has to justify the expense is YOU.

I've enjoyed meals before sex, after sex, and during breaks in a weekend date.  My favorite is the après sex meal - some call it a gay date since you're sated for the moment and can kick back without junior begging for attention.  Can also eat with abandon since no worries about gastric distress during playtime.

BBQ ribs? Fried steaks?  

Not trying to be stereotyping, but man, I would be turned on by a woman who can cook a good southern meal...

Oh I CAN cook like a MFer lol I make southern food that would make you slap your granny it's so good. If requested I will cook but I usually order carry out lol but yeah there is nothing like a southern meal cooked by a Southern woman

First of all I am from Europe and dinner dates are not very common here. Usually the dates are held in clubs, hotelroom, brothels and so on. But I love dinner dates and for that reason I always have dinner dates in the USA when travelling, mostly business. Another reason is that I am sure nobody sees me in public.  

And I love big fake boobs which we don’t have that many here overseas. So when in the states, most big cities like Miami, New York, San Diego where you have a big choice for nice restaurants and woman.  

Mostly  when I organize the date I prefer to have dinner in the hotel where I am staying at, not to go out by taxi and bother about the place, so I spend some time to choose the right hotel. That said I choose a hotel with nice restaurants or places to be with. Last time when in Miami we stayed at a beach bar at the hotel, we both were not so hungry and had some nice snacks with nice ocean view.  

It was unforgettable and I really loved it. I also look for a restaurant with some intimity, which means for me a restaurant which is a little dark or has a boost.  I mean if you walk in a restauarant with a gorgeous woman with really big fake boobs showing them off is quiet an issue.

So choosing the right restauarant costs me some time which is worth doing it.  

About dinner dates: there was a discussion with some colleagues about dinner dates and they found it absolutely ridiculous why somebody spends  so much money for a dinner date, they all said that they want sex not eating out. I didn’t say a word about that and thought for myself. Well why do I like the company as much as sex. First I get to know the woman better and learn from her what she likes. Then it is like christmas, there you have the present and know you have to wait to open it.  

And when you open it, it is even better you imagined. Second I am somebody who comes fast, this probably because I am so nervous. But with a dinner before I get much more relaxed, I feel better and I have the feeling, that the woman likes my company and feels also better and non rushed.  

Third: being in public. When I had my first dinner date with a really busty gal in Vegas I felt terrible. Imagine with this busty woman entering the restaurant. Everybody was looking in our directions and in a sudden there was a silence in the room. I really didn’t feel very comfortable, but the woman was so cool about that and calmed me down in a way that at the end I liked the attention we got. I really felt like a star.  

And about then I knew I want to repeat this. So nowadays I like the attention we (or should I say hers attention) get
with some light touching, kissing  which goes deeper later on, just to feel the presence of a well educated woman. What comes after in the hotel room is then just the top of our meeting

No escargot for me but bring on the oysters!    
Hugs and kisses

eing a provider with my "Dinner Evening Special" as my most sought after offering, I prefer to be where you are most comfortable. The offering is a wonderful way to build the anticipation, or (in the event that you would like playtime first) extend the date beyond niceties and physical satisfaction. Not all dinner dates must include five star dining (although, I do enjoy that aspect quite a bit). Having a gentleman prepare a meal, or a thoughtfully laid out professionally prepared carry in, can be more so enjoyable dependent upon the chemistry or desire.  

Ask yourself (as this is your time and desire), What would you like to experience during this evening? Make your anticipations clear to your company. Pizza may be on the menu if the chemistry is just right!

Bòn appètite!
