12 top restaurants for every kind of date in Houston

by OpenTable
Updated August 10, 2024
Houston’s most romantic restaurants are pros at the wine-and-dine game. First dates call for a casual, plant-lined Mexican spot. For something more glamorous, there’s a clubby Japanese-inspired restaurant where sushi comes with a side of sparklers. And if you’re popping the big question, nothing sets the stage like a detail-obsessed French place by a chef with MICHELIN cred.
This guide pairs Houston restaurants with romantic occasions from first dates all the way to milestone anniversaries. These are Houston’s 12 best date-night restaurants.
