Date night restaurants that won’t break the bank

Times are tough, we know, which is why we work so hard to get you great deals on Seattle’s hottest eateries. But you must be wondering… Is there anywhere I can take my hot date without having to break the bank or use a deal voucher? Glad you asked. Here’s a list of AMAZING restaurants in Seattle that are a) romantic b) very reasonably priced and c) delectable.

Tamarind Tree
Tamarind Tree is a contemporary Vietnamese restaurant hidden away in the back alleys of International District. The interior has a modern, zen-like atmosphere that congers up images of food priced well into the high 20s. However, once you sit down and open a menu, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that most dishes are priced around $9-$10, and you literally can’t go wrong with any of them. Be warned – for dinner on a weekend make reservations a day in advance because as you can guess, this place is quite popular.

That’s Amore
This restaurant is a cozy, little Italian eatery with a lot of charm and a killer view of downtown Seattle. Besides the fabulously priced and tasting food, this restaurant stands out for its the service. There are restaurants with great service, then there are restaurants that treat service like an art form. You won’t be disappointed. We highly recommend this place for an intimate candle lit dinner for two – just please, please promise us you’ll save room for their Tiramisu.

Phayathai Cuisine
If you’re a fan of Thai cuisine, Phayathai will make you weak in the knees. Located in kind of an odd location in Lake City, this restaurant has some of the best Thai food in Seattle – especially the green curry and green bean wok. The interior is in a word, sophisticated, the prices are surprisingly reasonable, sometimes as low as $8.95 for a main course dish and the service is fantastic. Talk about a triple whammy.

Phonecia
All the way over in West Seattle lies a cozy yet contemporary restaurant serving top-of-the line tapas and pizza. If you live in West Seattle, you’ve no doubt tried Phoenecia or heard of it. If you don’t, you now have a perfect excuse to visit Alki. Their menu has a large variety of Mediterranean small bites and artisan pizza, and a great selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes. For an intimate night out, head over closer to summer to enjoy a romantic sunset stroll down Alki beach. He/she will be putty in your hands.
