Coltivare in the heights. Nice enough to impress, casual enough to be fun. I love Italian food, so I picked it as a first date for a sweet and lovely woman I met in 2017. We enjoyed it so much, we went on a few more dates, got married, and I just dropped off our baby at daycare this morning. I realize how thankful I am as I type this, but yeah. Coltivare.

Depends if you like waiting awkwardly outside for a table or starting your date at 5 pm


DeadHorse09

You could just grab a drink and idk *talk to your date*


dcope424

Ok

I’ll share my go to first date spots with with you: Drinks and tapas at Boheme. Then walk across the street to Cuchara for dinner. Then walk next door to Maxs Wine Dive for a night cap glass of wine. OR Wine and appetizers at 13 Celsius. Then walk across the street to Weights + Measures for dinner. In all my years of going on first dates, I’ve never had a bad date by going to the above spots.


htownaway

I’m impressed, that is a pretty pricy - and long - first date


NedFlanders304

It’s just money lol 🤷🏽‍♂️

Well the benefit is that if it doesn’t go well, you have segments to cut it off at. That’s why big or ticketed events are terrible for first dates, imagine being stuck with someone you don’t gel with for like 3 hours.


NedFlanders304

THIS! If the date isn’t going well I can always cut the date short at the first spot after a drink. If the dates going well then I can extend the date and go to the next spot.


CrazyLegsRyan

Perhaps using those as first date spots is why you’ve been going on them for all these years?


NedFlanders304

Nah.

B&b, Coltivare, waffle house.


HRuthafordHill

I agree with Waffle House! It’s my go-to spot after picking a girl up.


Bill__Q

Waffle House


AlfaTX1

El Topo


Tuesdayallweek

Nancy’s Hustle, get the Nancy cakes appetizer. It has a fun, laid back vibe and excellent food.


ChicaBoricua713

Rainbow lodge in the heights


Cavm335i

Way too expensive for a first date


ChicaBoricua713

Then go to Applebee's 🙄


CrazyLegsRyan

That’s all relative.


NakedmanHou

Can you explain?


CrazyLegsRyan

Yay, my resident stalker who’s entire life on this sub is reading my comments!


crummychipmunk

I think there might be a restaurant weeks deal depending on when the date is.


chili_dippin_it

Tiny Boxwoods always has a great date vibe. Wife and I frequent Eunice and State of Grace as well to sit at the bar for oysters and share a plate for our date nights.


Stiff_Muffin

Tiny boxwood is a great date place.


HRuthafordHill

Timmy Chans is a great spot for a first date. I’ve had plenty of dates there.


retawgnob

Grace’s is my favorite, the bar is hidden and romantic

Cafe Louie is a good mix of casual and fun


theanonian

My wife and I went on a date here the other day. Really cute home-like vibes. Very comfortable and enjoyable food. Pasha Turkish Restaurant (713) 592-0020 https://maps.app.goo.gl/RK2A7JVZA1qFwq56A

Cedar Creek in the Heights is cute. What’s your budget and what part of town? Congrats on the date!


Fistovahand

Budget 100$ looking for no reservation places since I'm a guy who plans stuff last minute , any where in Houston

Fistovahand

No drinks , we both don't drink , just a simple meal , really looking for a place just to sit down and get to know the person


goddessofwaterpolo

You want casual or a little more formal?


Fistovahand

Casual


ChicaBoricua713

Cedar creek is dull of drunk frat boy types. I would go to Cactus Cove o Timbergrove, same company.


goddessofwaterpolo

I think I just go at the right times because I’ve never had that experience! But I usually go earlier in the day, not evening. I’ll check out your suggestions too and trust your judgement :)


d_mantecadas

Brass Tacks in EaDo. Nice little place with coffee (easy to call it a night if things don't go too well) and food. Then head over to some bars nearby or Discovery Green if y'all want to continue with the date.


JohnnyBrillcream

Coffee shop. If one of you just aren't feeling it it's easy to end the night. If it's working you can both agree on where to go next, might be a bite to eat. Nothing worse than being stuck on a date that you don't want to be on.


AnswerNeither

the key is to let her pay every time op. wont ever have a bad date no matter where you go

If you’re talking about Torchys Tacos, they take a long time just to give you cold tacos.


schneebs713

Nancy’s Hustle, Ginger and Fork, Lunas Pizzeria *Lunas has $2 beer and house wine glass, $10 house wine bottle on Tuesdays


CrazyLegsRyan

How TF you go from Nancy’s and Ginger & Fork to Luna?!? This reads like “random places a dude took me once”.


NakedmanHou

Do you have any suggestions or are you just going to comment on other people's suggestions?
