The 16 Most Romantic Restaurants For Date Night In Houston

"For a classic, celebratory dinner, you should head to Hugo’s, a Mexican restaurant in Montrose. Everything at Hugo’s feels upscale—the building is from 1925, and the historic space is stunning, with chandeliers that look like they were shipped in from a local castle. It’s the kind of place you visit to celebrate a milestone anniversary over pulpo al carbón, slow-roasted lamb barbacoa, and margaritas that get shaken tableside. The staff here seems prepared for just about anything, so you can expect a date to go pretty seamlessly, save for maybe a heated debate about which one of you gets the last handmade blue corn tortilla." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
