Revolution Durham is your one stop romantic restaurant if you are looking for contemporary cuisines with international flair. This establishment is the most preferred fine dining choice among the couples for its modern décor, relaxing ambience and presentation. They’re highlighting a three course tasting menu & complimentary glass of sparkling wine with desert or dinner for $55 per person.

Mateo Tapas is an excellent stop for new dates. This is the select-a-size dinner option with, ahem, the ability to pack it in earlier if needed, or revel in good company.
