Adriana: 7 romantic restaurants

When it comes to romantic dining, ambiance and hospitality are as important as the menu.

Subdued surroundings – low lights, hushed tones, elegant accents – and attentive but unobtrusive and unrushed service set the mood for the entire evening.

Often, romantic restaurants are special occasion places, classy and lavish – not the kind of spots you go to grab some quick grub but the kind where sweethearts can take their time, lingering over multicourse menus and maybe just one more glass of bubbly.

Here are a few Spokane-area favorites. Reservations are recommended/ Adriana Janovich , SR. More here.
