  • 💬 Comments & Reviews

A collection of my favorite tasty & impressive dinners that are perfect to share with the one you love on special occasions and date nights. Your job is to choose the one your date will enjoy most!

A nice restaurant is not always necessary when you want an intimate date night. In fact, spending time and effort preparing a dish is arguably more romantic because it comes from the heart!

Whether you are a rockstar in the kitchen or still finding your footing, I have plenty of impressive and romantic recipes for cooks of any skill set.

1. Pan Seared Scallops

Perfectly pan-seared scallops are delicious, plus extremely quick and easy to make. If you can get that perfect golden-brown sear on the outside, the hardest part is done!

Scallops are light enough to serve them with carb-heavy sides like fondant potatoes or parmesan risotto, and they go with pretty much everything!

Pan Seared Scallops
These pan-seared scallops are easy to make at home, with a delightfully golden crust on tasty restaurant-quality scallops.

2. Pan Seared Filet Mignon

A filet mignon is a gourmet cut of steak, so cook it perfectly, and you’ll knock this out of the park! Pair it with a dry red wine like Malbec and a few candles, and you’ll have a picture-perfect romantic dinner for two.

Pan Seared Filet Mignon
Perfectly cooked pan seared filet mignon is the best entree to share for date nights, Sunday dinner, or any time you want an incredibly juicy, tender steak.

3. Spaghetti Bolognese

Italian food is generally romantic (think the Lady and the Tramp spaghetti scene), and a nice spaghetti Bolognese is easy and satisfying.

If you are a novice chef, this is a great opportunity to surprise your date with a homemade meal while taking minimal risk.

There's no need to worry about sides, but a little garlic bread never hurts. Follow my guide to cooking spaghetti for perfect al dente noodles!

Spaghetti Bolognese
Spaghetti Bolognese is a true Italian classic full of al dente spaghetti, meaty red sauce, fresh veggies, and a blend of Italian herbs.

4. Grilled Lamb Chops

Lamb is usually a special treat, so an elegant grilled lamb chop is sure to impress. These grill up in about 20 minutes, and my aromatic lamb dry rub gives the chops the most amazing flavor!

For what to serve with lamb chops, you can choose steakhouse sides or keep it light and serve it with a Caesar salad and homemade dressing.

Grilled Lamb Chops
Perfectly grilled lamb chops are elegant, full of flavor, and best of all, they only take about 20 minutes to make.

5. Broiled Ribeye Steak

This list had to have a couple of steak options, and a perfectly cooked ribeye is always a great choice.  By broiling this ribeye, you can have a restaurant-quality steak in minutes.

Pick a thick-cut steak and serve it with some asparagus, roasted potatoes, or any of my popular ribeye steak side dishes!

Broiled Ribeye Steak
You'll be amazed how easy it is to achieve steakhouse-worthy flavor in a matter of minutes with this super simple broiled ribeye steak recipe.

6. Blackened Cod

If seafood is more your thing, blackened cod is an easy choice. Cod is a mild-tasting fish, so the seasoning really has room to shine. Use a good Cajun seasoning, and pair it with a few light sides to save room for dessert!

It only takes 13 minutes from start to finish, so you don’t have to spend all evening in the kitchen. Check out my favorite side dishes for cod here!

7. Baked Flounder

Baked flounder is another fish recipe that doesn't taste 'fishy.' The crispy Parmesan and Panko crust gives it a great crunch that will go well with any sauces you want.

This recipe can be made in roughly 20 minutes and will go with any savory or light side dishes. A nice white wine will complete the meal perfectly!

Panko Crusted Baked Flounder
My baked flounder is a fantastic combination of tender flounder fillets and a crispy Panko and Parmesan breadcrumb topping.

8. Shrimp Scampi

Butter, lemon, and white wine make up the delicious scampi sauce and give the pasta a bright, citrus flavor. It’s a quick and easy shrimp recipe, but with some parsley as a garnish and nice dinnerware, it will look like it took a lot of effort.

Peel and de-vein your shrimp beforehand, and this recipe only takes 15 minutes. Set some candles and enjoy your romantic scampi dinner.

9. Broiled Lobster Tail

A lobster tail is the universal sign of a 'fancy' dinner. Surprisingly enough, they cook quickly and taste great with minimal effort.

Serve it with some fondant potatoes and a vegetable side dish of your choice, and you have a beautiful spread that only takes minutes. Don't forget the drawn butter.

10. Crab Risotto

Creamy, indulgent crab risotto is a great all-inclusive dish. You don’t necessarily need sides. I would focus more on dessert, as the risotto is heavy.

You will use a bit of wine to make the risotto, so you might as well share the rest of the bottle.  If your date loves crab, this option will be a home run.

Crab Risotto
This decadent crab risotto is a delicious way to serve a hearty and amazingly flavorful crab dinner.

11. Margherita Sheet Pan Pizza

Hear me out. Pizza may not seem romantic, but it definitely can be. For a lovely date night idea, drink wine while making a pizza together.

This recipe is fairly simple, and you can spend quality time talking and enjoying each other’s company. Sip your wine while it bakes, then share the fruits of your labor.

Margherita Sheet Pan Pizza
I love the simplicity of this Margherita sheet pan pizza for being an all-around crowd-pleaser that can also feed the whole family.

This warm dish is perfect for chilly evenings. The sauce is rich and comforting, so you and your date will savor every bite.

13. Salmon With Dill Sauce

Dill has such an amazing, unique flavor, and it’s known for pairing perfectly with salmon. While salmon may be delicious, the creamy dill sauce takes it to the next level.

It's an elegant salmon recipe that's perfect for two!

14. Grilled Chicken Fettuccine

If your date is not a seafood fan, a nice grilled chicken fettuccine alfredo is a wonderful option. It’s a safe bet as long as your date eats chicken breast.

Creamy alfredo sauce on fettuccine with perfectly grilled sliced chicken breast is savory and comforting. It doesn’t have to be expensive meat to make it date night-worthy.

15. Pan Seared Duck Breast

Last but certainly not least, pan-seared duck breast is an elegant and easy dish for a special date. Because duck is so fatty and flavorful, this recipe only requires the duck breasts and salt & pepper.

If your date has never tried duck, they are in for a treat. Duck and Pinot Noir are classically paired and will create a date night to remember.

Creamy Parmesan Garlic Sauce

  • ¼ cup butter (½ stick or 4 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream, or milk, or half & half)

Instructions
 

  • Pat your 1½ lbs chicken breasts dry and trim any excess fat if needed. Season both sides of the chicken with ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet with the 2 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Pan fry the seasoned chicken breasts to brown both sides until cooked and the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F (64°C). Remove the chicken from your skillet when done and transfer to a plate. Set aside.
  • Add the sliced 8 oz mushrooms and saute until browned and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Creamy Parmesan Garlic Sauce

  • Reduce the heat to medium and melt the ¼ cup butter in your skillet. Add the minced 1 teaspoon garlic and saute until tender and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and mix into the melted butter and garlic, stir frequently and cook the paste for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in portions of the ½ cup chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream until the sauce is smooth, then stir in the ½ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
  • Add the chopped 1 cup baby spinach and stir into the sauce, then allow the sauce to come to a simmer. Once the sauce thickens and the spinach is wilted, return the chicken breasts and sauteed mushrooms back to your skillet.
  • Stir to combine and heat to your satisfaction. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or potatoes.

Notes

  • When cleaning mushrooms, it’s best to wipe them clean with a damp paper towel.  Mushrooms are like little sponges, so if you run them under water they’ll absorb the water and be harder to brown!
  • After adding the flour to the butter, keep an eye on the roux! You don’t want it or the garlic to burn – you just want to cook for a couple of minutes to get the raw flour taste out.  
  • If the sauce thickens too much, you can add up to another cup to the sauce!
