    It's me and my girlfriends 3 year anniversay and I wanna take her out to eat someplace, but I'm not too familiar with the nice restaurants here in San Antonio. Has to be Asian or Italian food. Price doesn't matter. Any suggestions?

    I'll second the Shrimp Paesano - there's a good reason my dad has been ordering the same thing there for the last 20 years. Last time I checked, though, they don't serve it at the Riverwalk location, only the Lincoln Heights/Quarry one.

    i couldn't find that place online... you got a link to it?

    also, we go to paesano's for non special occasions so maybe not there.

    i know it's not asian or italian, but has anyone been to the vineyards?

    The Melting Pot is a great suggestion, Flea.

    I'd like to suggest Dolores Del Rio. It's this very eccentric, yet romantic, hole-in-the-wall at the far end of the Riverwalk across from Palacio del Rio. It's seriously an amazing place. You go up these really old steps to get to the restaurant where it's completely lit by candlelight. There's only about 10-15 tables and they have live jazz and a belly dancer (not at the same time!) every night. And the food (italian) is delicious. If you go, make sure you get their spinach salad and bread to start - it's the best! They also have a nice wine selection and very good coffee.

    That is a great place! Hubby and I went years ago and had lots of fun, they keep pouring the table wine and you glass is always full. I had signed up for belly dancing lessons before the night was over.
    Couldn't remember though until the girl called me to schedule.

    Must've been all that wine they kept pouring you!

    Did you ever schedule with her?

    I'll never understand SA's fascination with the Shrimp Paesano. IT'S SHRIMP AND PASTA PEOPLE!!! You can make the at home for a tenth of the price that they charge you at the restaurant, and it's easy to make as well. As in, easy enough that everyone can do it.


    Melting Pot is some good though.

    If price is no big deal then you can't go wrong with Silo in AH...
    If price is a big deal then you can't go wrong with Lorenzo's on Wurzbach
    Melting pot is OK if you like to dip your food...and a 10 course meal....

    Make it really special. Fly her to Vegas, stay at Ceasar's and go eat at Rao's, which is the best Itallian restaurant that I have ever been to. Romantic, and they make you feel like you are special and your dining experience lasts about 3 hrs, because each course takes time and they do not rush you at all. Very expensive, but you will get laid afterwards for sure.

    it's getting harder and harder to find a place that's not a chain restaurant....

    but I think PF changs is a decent place if you gotta do the Chinese route....and if you wanna save a few bucks, there's a place on Wurzbach about 2 miles west of I-10 called Golden Palace which is basically the same thing but a few bucks cheaper.

    I know people like the authentic stuff, but I'm good to go with Zio's.

    don't take her anywhere too nice because she will come to expect it every year. This is what you do: take her to TGI Fridays, act like it's a big deal to you and all that, have a good time, let her know it is ok to order dessert only because it's a special occasion.

    By doing this you won't have to take her out for $150 dinners every birthday, anniversary or whatever- you gotta slowly work towards eating at high end places.
