5 Formal Date Spots

Lucca Steakhouse

If great food and a greater show are what you’re looking for, Lucca is the place to be. We don’t usually use the phrase “great vibes”, but after searching for hours, it really is the most accurate description. And to match the great vibes, they serve some of the best-tasting dishes in the city. We recommend getting the Lucca special. It’s literally finger-licking good. Instagram Page.

Zenith

A place that combines the atmosphere of a lounge with the view of a rooftop café, Zenith is truly in its own class. Instagram Page.
