The Best Restaurants for a Romantic Date Night in the Twin Cities

"Chef Ann Ahmed’s Khâluna was designed to evoke the palm-tree-swathed resorts of Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, and stepping inside it really does feel like arriving at a balmy destination by the sea. Domed lamps hover above a landscape of rattan chairs and blonde wood; everything is washed in the warmest shades of sandstone and gold. All this to match the stellar menu, which features a whole fried red snapper drowned in a tamarind glaze and a bucatini talay in a punchy tom yum ragout." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
