How to Plan the Perfect At-Home Date Night

Sometimes the best spot in town is right at home. While going to a restaurant is fun, there’s also something special about spending time alone with your favorite person in your own private dining room in the comforts of home. This isn’t to say that you can’t have the best of both worlds. With the right prime ingredients to cook, or take-out from a local fine dining restaurant, you can enjoy a fine dining experience at home.

Here are a few tips for experiencing the perfect date night at home.

Create a Relaxing Atmosphere

What separates the best fine dining Boise restaurants from the rest, besides the food, is typically the atmosphere. Restaurant owners and managers painstakingly place every detail. From the table setting to the lighting, the decorations, and the music, there is a lot more that goes on behind the scenes to make your dining experience as immersive as possible.

For your at-home date night, you should do the same—white tablecloth and all. Clear your dining area of any clutter and even put a few candles out on the table for a touch of fine dining flair. Even without a personal server, you can still have a close-to-restaurant experience at home.

Get Dressed Up

Even though you’re at home, you should still get dressed up. There’s just something about putting on formal clothes that can make you feel stylish and put-together, even if your date is the only one to see how great you look. Dressing up, even at home, shows effort and is sure to impress your partner. In addition, dressing up separates the experience from just any other dinner at home.

Limit Distractions

While in a typical evening you might have the TV playing in the background, this is a special meal. It’s a time to sit and enjoy your time with your date. Limit the distractions, so you can focus on your special someone and the fine food on your plates. That means no TV, podcasts, or smartphone use at the table. However, if the idea of sitting in complete silence irks you, there’s nothing wrong with having soothing background music. The best restaurants feature live music in the lounge, so you could queue up a smooth jazz or classical playlist to accompany your meal.

Make Sure the Menu Is Special

Just because you’re dining at home doesn’t mean the food can’t be straight from a fine dining kitchen. For example, the best steakhouse Boise offers, Chandlers, just recently started offering take-out. You can order their well-known steak and seafood dishes and enjoy them in the comfort of your home dining room. Or, if you’d prefer to flex your culinary muscles, you can order from their Butcher Block menu. They hand-trim and season these prime cuts for you to bring home and grill yourself. Whichever you choose, it’s sure to be a tasty experience.

About Chandlers

Since Chandlers first opened in 2007, the restaurant has proven to be among the best fine dining Boise restaurants. They have it all: Premium cut steaks, jet-fresh seafood, and the best live music Boise offers when available. From American Wagyu to the delicate Filet Mignon, and even seafood fare like lobster, scallops, and more, whatever your appetite, Chandlers is sure to please. The restaurant is proud to offer take-out dining services for special occasions or date nights at home. You can also cook a prime Chandlers steak at home through their Butcher Block menu.
