Fine dining on a date is always romantic, especially when the restaurant is located on the oceanfront. The idea of being with someone privately with all your preferences catered is always romantic.
A great romantic experience will have the following characteristics: preferences catered, exclusivity (being alone with someone where no one is bothering both of you) and a great ambiance. With all these ideas in mind, nothing beats the fine dining and restaurants offered in a resort hotel.
The Balboa Bay Club and Resort in Newport Beach meets all of those criteria. With a friendly staff and a very posh atmosphere, the price is surprisingly affordable. The resort is also accessible to great restaurants like 930 Sushi (Japanese), Dolce Ristorante (Italian) and Margaritaville (Mexican) to name a few. A great restaurant will always complement the romantic date that you are planning ahead.
After dinner you can enjoy each others' company with a few drinks while talking about sweet nothings at Beach Ball in Newport Beach, a small and cozy place where you can enjoy a little bit of privacy from the outside world. It offers a wide variety of drinks and entertainment that you can both enjoy. If you prefer not to go to a bar after your dinner, you can always enjoy a stroll on the Pier together. The pier is a great place to just be with one another, enjoy the sunset, and hold hands.
