Could you fill in a hopeless romantic who's new to Dubai on some of your favourite romantic restaurants in the city? Somewhere beautiful to take a date. It absolutely cannot be too upscale or expensive, lest my date think I'm trying to let money do the talking (which isn't the case).
I'd like to find a restaurant with a nice ambience - you know - dim lighting, nice decore, and soft background music that's quiet enough to let you enjoy a conversation comfortably. Preferrably someplace that's emptier and quieter on a Saturday or Sunday night. And somewhere that'll seat two in a cozy booth if requested.
I know that's a lot of requirements, but the future of a new relationship could very well depend on your advice :) - no pressure! Anywhere in Dubai would work, but bonus points awarded if you can recommend some near Safa Park so I can get my date home at a reasonable time.
Thanks so much. (And if I take my date somewhere recommended in this thread, I'll let you all know in about a week's time.)

good resturants I reccomend...
park hyatt - terrace or the French restaurant (i forgot the name) right on the creek and my ex-girl used to melt when we are there.
Cuccina at Courtyard Marriott in the Green community - its an Italian and the theme in that area is very Greek
the J.W. Steak house ~ this is fine dining
if you fancy buffets ~
Al Muna restaurant at Mina A’ Salam next to Madinat Jumierah
or
Bamboo Lagoon at J.W. Marriott
or
Spice island at Renaissance dubai
or
Al Dawar in Hyatt Regency
the above restaurants were used to by my favorite when I used to be with my ex-girl i consider them great food and great to dating a girl
as for pricing, call them or search the web...
good luck with each other

Since you mentioned price is an issue, what range is consider within your budget. Anything relatively good in Dubai will not be cheap.
Park Hyatt really has nice embience. Quatroporte the restaurant you are refering to is called Traiteur. I have always wanted to try that but havent got the chance. I like the Thai Kitchen and the Terrace Bar.
Back to vk101, considering you want somewhere closer to safa, how about Shakespeare Restaurant? where the Baskin Robbins is on Al Wasl Road. I have never dine there but it looks quiet and dim. I was told the scone there is good (!!)
Otherwise check out the Italian restaurant at Rydes Hotel. Ground floor. Food there is good.

ohh I forgot to add
Bateaux Dubai – Luxury Cruise on the Creek
this cruse will make your girl go breathless.. its AED 300/p

BabyDoll is correct... I can tell you that the average for all the above restaurants I mentioned is AED +/- 200 per person.

I think the perfect place for you would be the 4 Season Golf Club in Dubai Festival City. Quiet, classy and great atmosphere if you just wanna relax. And it's actually surprisingly cheap, meals are 30 - 50, drinks are 10 -20, desert is 25 - 40. Basically the whole date should cost only about AED 200 - 250, that may be too cheap hehe.

What yeah, err I mean Mc Donalds!! Take her to Mc Donalds, how can I forget taht?! It's like uber cheap and perfectly romantic!
And if you decide to go to the 4 Seasons though, a romantic thing to do would be to take her for a nice walk on the golf course...then push her in one of the ponds! Aww she would love it...She would be running after you all over the place trying to bite and scratch...So romantic. After that make sure you walk her to the cab, otherwise she may get angry.
There...How's that? :P

By the way one need not be in an expensive place to be romantic....romance has ntohing to do with how you spend....but by the thoughts behind it....a walk in the park could be one.....stroll in the marina....sunset watching....

No. I've tried "mexican" food at two places in dubai (at the Marina and Tia Maria or something) and they both royaly sucked. In fact the one at the Marina was uneatable (is that a word?)...
I'm not trying another "mexican" restarurant in dubai...
A great mexican restaurant would be a gold mine in dubai...ummm, got any money to invest? We could go to mexico and bring a crew (can you get them sponsors?)... let me know..
nismo
set up a dinner table in the house nex to the bed , get some candles , roses , movie maybe, handcuff , sex toys ,condoms , lubes and all
cook something yourself , play some dumb chessy music , make sure you havve lots of wine and all , if you can get some roachas(date rape drug) in her food that be great too...
you save money , you can have sex rigth away after dinner and you can get drunk without haveing to worry about driving or getting arrested
good luck
