Dinner dates should be special, relaxing, and, most importantly, bring two lovebirds closer. Imagine dining under the stars with the gentle babbling of the Cuyahoga River, creating a serene atmosphere ideal for a memorable experience—The Lakehouse offers just that.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to spend quality time together, we're here to offer helpful tips for planning a romantic dinner date for you and your beau.

Choose the Perfect Time

Timing is everything when planning a romantic dinner. Discuss availability with your partner and find out what works. If you haven't picked the best time yet, we recommend arriving before dusk to enjoy the breathtaking sunset view by the waters. Or if you're looking for a quieter, more intimate atmosphere, opt for an earlier or later seating when the restaurant is less crowded.

While being spontaneous can lead to great date night memories, you want to avoid ending up at a fully booked restaurant. Make reservations to be on your A game. This way, you'll secure your preferred seating and the best time for a romantic dinner.

Select Your Menu

Choosing the right meal can really set the tone for your evening. Whether it's a fireside dinner or a night under the stars, The Lakehouse offers romantic menu options and local wine choices that go hand-in-hand with an intimate evening.

One of our foolproof tips for planning a romantic dinner date is to select the right dish and wine pairing. If you're both fans of seafood, treat yourselves to our Atlanta Fish Market Famous Crab Cakes, Roasted Atlantic Salmon, and Lake Erie Walleye. Pair them with a delightful Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for a perfect match. And for the real star of the show, the Lakehouse classic Grilled Rib Eye paired with a rich Cabernet Sauvignon is a must-try!

Enhance the Experience

Live in the moment and let the music set the scene for your unforgettable date night. With scheduled live performances at The Lakehouse, we add a soulful touch to your dining experience.

Want something more special? Request a table with a waterfront view and enjoy the serene beauty of the river while indulging in our decadent desserts, like our signature Lakehouse Skillet Cookie or Chef Rob’s World Class Key Lime Pie, to surprise your partner and make the night even sweeter.

Capture Memories

Planning a date night can be tricky, so you deserve to cherish every moment. Snap sweet moments with your partner against the stunning water backdrop or photograph our beautifully presented dishes before indulging.
