There are a handful of restaurants around the Twin Cities that offer up fantastic, cheap date night deals where for one low price a couple will have the choice of two entrees, a dessert or appetizer, and the added bonus of two drinks. This can be great when you and your partner have time to plan a Monday or Wednesday date night, but what about a spontaneous weekend night out? That random Friday or Saturday night on the town? We get it, we’re happy for you, and we want you to be able to make the most of those nights without emptying your wallet. So, we’ve compiled this list of options, from casual to more upscale – for those nights when you have the opportunity to enjoy a date night dinner. Note that we have a few pre-planned date night deal options intermixed with strategies to keep your meal under $30 at restaurants that don’t offer a set date-night menu.
