Looking for affordable ($100 total) date night spots for the wife and I this coming Friday. We live in Grapevine (just recently moved) and have been several times to Mac's on Main, Esparza's, and Stellini's. One option on the table is Deluca's in Southlake.

Anyone got a good recommendation for a fun spot that won't break the bank?

Delucca is good if you haven't been before - Make sure you are HUNGRY.

Coal Vines in Southlake has been one of our favorite inexpensive date nights. Thursdays half off bottles of Wine and their Chicken Marsala is fantastic and really good prices.

Huge fans of Chez Fabien on Main Street Grapevine. It might be a little pricier than 100 for two but depends on what you have to drink. Their Lobster Grilled Cheese + Lobster Bisque combo is like 29 bucks and I have dreams about it.

Wildwood in Southlake is another good option. Haven't been there in a while but they have been known to have some good specials.

If you're willing to make the drive over to Roanoke, there's a new Restaurant, "Oak & Main" that is fantastic and really good prices. We have been 3 or 4 times in the last month because of the quality and value. Super cute for date night and it's a cute walkable main street that isn't super touristy like Grapevine Main.

Over in Coppell there's J. Macklin's and Victors Wood Grill, both have been good date night places for us that aren't too crazy in prices.

If you go to Fogo de Chao over off of 635 in Coppell, most people don't know you can sit at the bar and get happy hour prices all night on food and drinks. $15 rack of lamb and $10 caipirinha has been one of our favorite date nights where we can feel fancy without dropping $100 plus on the full Brazilian Steakhouse experience. They also give you the sides even if you sit at the bar.

Last, if you haven't been to Weinberg's Deli yet on Main Street Grapevine do yourself a favor and go. Not a fancy date but you can go to Bingham's winery across the street for a glass of wine and then go grab a sandwich. We do it probably 1-2x a month. It's casual and fun and not too expensive.

Welcome to the area!

I'm not a fan of Delucca's but I get those that do. If more into the Mexican scene, Mi Dia, Meseros, Anamias, and Mi Cocina are all in our rotation.

Mi Dia is a great one that we have been to several times. I have been to the mesero in Dallas but not the one in Southlake. I will have to keep those in mind as my wife LOVES Tex-Mex. Thanks!

We're also fans of The Reserve for tex mex. Service is lacking at both locations but it's more than made up for by the food and margs. The prices are good too. You just need to be willing to sit and relax for a bit because it will be a slow meal!

Just a few miles to the east of Grapevine in Las Colinas is Hugo's Invitados.

Everything, chips included, is made in-house. The barbacoa is awesome as are the steaks and cochinita pibil. I've only eaten there a couple of times so my exposure to the menu is limited. That said I can't wait to return.

Kick-ass margaritas as well.

Not crazy high end, but another great Tex Mex option in that area is Anamia's.

If you are a fan of sushi, go to Oishii in Grapevine. It's our favorite place in the area and we go at least twice a month.

Baja was always a favorite of mine.

Margaritas have some PUNCH.

Napa Thai in Colleyville is one of my favorite restaurants in all of DFW. The food and service are amazing. I have no idea why they're in Colleyville, they would kill it in Dallas. You can get an appetizer, two entrees and share a desert for under $100 (before tip) If you get cocktails, it will be north of that. (My bill was $120 before tip last night, but my wife each had a cocktail).

If you do end up trying it out, I recommend the Crispy Shrimp Rolls as an app, Roasted Duck Curry for main (I get this every time, it's never been dry), and coconut ice cream for dessert (I usually don't like anything coconut, except for Samoas, but it is very subtle tasting and refreshing).

Pop up to Bartonville and hit Marty B's then afterwards walk over to his ice cream place in the same parking lot. Huge place and is always poppin.

The Barrell right there in Bartonville is awesome too.

Loveria in Colleyville is incredible northern Italian food. You can keep it under $100 but it will be pushing it, depending on drinks/wine and your menu choices.
