The Melting Pot is my favorite restaurant for a romantic date. You get to cozy up over a warm pot to cook your own food, jazzy music is usually playing, and the lights are dim. Large wine selection, and variety of options for cheese appetizer, entree and dessert (if you're not really hungry, just do cheese and chocolate). Fairly expensive, but you get a TON of food for the price. Also has a vegetarian option--most romantic restaurants don't. Really not a place for kids. Also a nice place to stop in for dessert with just a few friends--and then you get to share the calories with more people!
