Best Romantic Restaurants in University City

Me and my wife typically have a yearly tradition of going to the same restaurant for Valentines Day. Unfortunately, this year we could get a reservation for the weekend. I looked up Sea Grill and was able to book a reservation for Sunday. It beyond exceeded our expectations. From beginning to end, we were thoroughly impressed. We were greeted with courteous service as soon as we walked in and were seated. We ordered 3 apps and 2 drinks and were blown away by the flavor, presentation, and overall quality and literally could've stopped there as we were both full and satisfied. That wasn't the case thankfully as Tyler recommended a shared Entree (Salt-Baked Branzino). It was unreal in such a good way. The manager even walked up with such a radiant smile and asked how everything was and how the experience was. I couldn't help but brag about what a great we were having. This place deserves serious praise. We will absolutely be back there.

Our table was outstanding!! From the lights, to the wall, it created an atmosphere that was downright cozy. My friend ordered the chicken biscuit, and I ordered the S.E.C with parmesan fries. Annndddd, we had mimosas!!! Good friend, good times, it was truly a magical experience.

Excellent Valentines Day experience . The special menu had enough choices to have something for everyone, and the food was delicious and service was excellent. The prices were elevated for the Valentine’s Day , which I do understand. Gotta make that money . I get it. Some of the prices did seem excessive though. For example , one small crabcake (maybe 3 oz) was $19. The filet mignon offering looked like a pretty modest cut , maybe (5-6 oz precook). I guess I’m just saying for $100, per person , the food was very good , but I don’t know that I would say a great ‘value’. They definitely marked up for the holiday.

I had an incredible dining experience at Dean’s Steakhouse! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. The star of the evening, besides the perfectly cooked steak, was our server, Jertha. She was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made excellent recommendations and ensured that every detail of our meal was perfect. Her hospitality truly elevated the experience, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of. As for the food, it was top-notch. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides were equally impressive, and the desserts were the perfect way to end an amazing meal. If you’re looking for an outstanding steakhouse with phenomenal service, Dean’s is the place to go. Ask for Jertha—she will make your experience even better! I’ll definitely be returning.

We did the $19.99 eat drink and play deal. It was awesome!
