For dinner, I ordered the Short Rib, which was dark, sticky, and succulent and served with coleslaw and brussel sprouts. My date orders the Pheasant Pot Pie and eats every single bite. The food was so good we barely said a word to each other as we ate but it made for great conversation after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for somewhere that feels relaxed but has romantic potential, this is a great spot in the Chicago suburbs.

Be sure to get into the style of Tapas dining. Choose a few dishes and share them together; imagine cute moments spooning patatas bravas onto each other\u2019s plates. And if you\u2019re looking for tips on what to order, we particularly liked the cold seafood medley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meson Sabika is the place to go if you\u2019re looking for a night to remember. <\/strong>There\u2019s nothing else quite like this place in Chicago, and if your date hasn\u2019t visited before, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019ve always wanted to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-atwater-s-at-the-herrington-inn-spa\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.herringtoninn.com\/dining\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"2.

It ticks all the boxes for location, views, atmosphere, and taste.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outdoor dining for social distancing was private and airy which made for a romantic setting next to a beautiful garden on the river. It was such a relaxing atmosphere outside that my date and I felt like we were in our own little bubble disconnected from the outside world. The inside dining room is something else \u2013&nbsp;the matching antique paisley chairs and carpet make for quite the statement. Some will love it, some will hate it; personally, I like a place with personality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our server quickly accommodated us after a few minutes of us just chatting by the river. She was fun, personable, and extremely professional. She catered to all our needs exceptionally and was clearly highly trained as a server. The kindness and service here really made my date feel special. The manager came and checked on us twice and she seemed very concerned that our dining experience was most pleasurable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CNSdOdJB6j2\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
