"The Acadian and Cajun restaurant Prey in the Galleria area is the sort of cool and romantic place that inspires you to sit on the same side of the booth as your date. During the day there’s plenty of natural light, but at night the lamps give off just enough light for you to see your date and the spicy seafood gumbo when it hits your table. So canoodle over creamy crawfish fondue and watch the sunset through the floor-to-ceiling windows. On weekends you can stay late for “Prey After Dark,'' where you can listen to live jazz and have a nightcap." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
