Hi, Gary. Being a husband and a dad, I feel a kinship with you. If you really want to express your love, nothing says "I love you" more than sharing a D-O-L-E Whip with your sweetheart at Aloha Isle in the Magic Kingdom.
If Plan A (above) is a bust, here are a couple other dinner ideas.
Chef's Table at Victoria & Alberts
If time and money are in abundance, the
Chef's Table at Victoria & Alberts is the way to go. You'll impress her (and yourself) with the multi-course meal, private wait staff and unique experience. Check out Moms Panel Erin's write up on the Disney Food Blog.
Sweetheart Dinner for Two
As a father and a husband, you likely share my manly affinity for packaged/bundled deals. Many premier restaurants on property offer a
Sweetheart Dinner for Two, including Citricos, Narcoossee's, California Grill, Jiko, Yachtsman, Flying Fish, Artist Point and Brown Derby.
Citricos
The ambiance and food selection at
Citricos is stellar. It's also well lit for romance and is geared more toward an older crowd. Eat the crab cakes.
California Grille
Dine at the top of the Contemporary and view Wishes! from your table or on the catwalk at the
California Grill.
Le Cellier
It's a cozy, intimate atmosphere at
Le Cellier. The cellar serves up the best filet and offers one of the best wine and beer lists on property.
