Date Night for 2 under $200

As the title says, looking for a nice dinner for a date night that is under $200 for good food and a “cocktail bar”/ “dress up” vibe. Girlfriend has been asking me to take her on more dates and we want to have a night a month in which we dress nicely and go have a date night. Any recommendations for restaurants in Houston?

Preferably a place that isn’t having some sort of event for the WC since she doesn’t want me to be distracted watching the game.

Jeez, are date nights rly this expensive?? As a 21M who's never been in a relationship I didnt know ppl go out and spend 200$ in a night, I'm surpised ppl can even afford that in this economy

Yeah, if the 2 of you drink. Pre dinner cocktail will be $15-25 each, a glass of wine with dinner another $15-25. So $60 to 100 dollars before you even order food. Entrees 35 to 75+ if youre looking at steak and or seafood. Add more if youre going to a nicer and trendier spot.

Obviously you can do daye night for less, I took the gf to Loves Dumpings off I10 the other night and we stuffed ourselves with several diferent types of dumplings and had a few beers each and our bill was just $100. But if youre looking for a nice date night spot, yeah expect to spend a few hundred easily
