What is it about a restaurant that makes it romantic?
The restaurant should be cosy, with enough space between tables, lively but not so loud that you can’t hear your partner speak. It lit subtly enough to set the scene but not too dim or too full of candles that you’re inches from being engulfed by flames.
What should wear to a romantic restaurant?
When considering what to wear to a romantic restaurant, always keep the three factors in mind; comfortable, elegant, and stylish. Your attire should be fashionable and practical, allowing you to be confident.
