Hi all. I'm helping a buddy with his engagement and he wants to have dinner the night of somewhere downtown or along the Riverwalk followed by a carriage ride. Any suggestions? Keep it decently priced and no preference on food. Just not sushi...

Boudros, or just go find something at the Pearl

Thanks for the suggestions. I sent him the menus and he likes the recommendations but his gf would probably not. As he put it, "she's basic." No rule #1 btw.

While I would't really call it "romantic" the menu and food at Las Canarias is worth a look.

Paesano's on the Riverwalk is always a good choice.

Bohanan's is the best restaurant downtown but it's not "decently priced."

Paesanos , where every 16 year old in San Antonio goes to have their birthday dinner because they think they're adults

If it's the dinner leading up to popping the question, Bohanan's isn't THAT expensive, assuming you can lay off the overpriced alcohol. Throw in a couple bottles of wine and dessert and that's when the bill gets scary.

If he drops $50-80 dollars on a steak for her and she doesn't say yes, that will be a much cheaper lesson in love than a divorce a year later.

Again, thank you all for the suggestions. These are really good. And by decently priced I meant nothing where the total bill comes out to $200+ for the night. His gf is going to without a doubt say yes according to sources he says so he just wants to make it memorable with a carriage ride and all that jazz.

Bella on the River a quaint romantic restaurant on the river try the eggplant appetizer wine and beer only. consistently ranks high on the best restaurants in the city. Bohanan's they can make it right for a special occasion but at the high end in price.

Instead of the carriage ride, maybe combine the dinner and ride into one:

I can't imagine the idea of proposing without already knowing the answer.

I worked at Abuelos during college and some dude popped the question during lunch and she said no. That was awkward.

You're not third wheeling on the carriage ride, are you?

Awkward..

+1 for this and then walk over to get dessert at Chart House in Tower of the Americas overlooking the city.

Thanks for the recommendations. He ended up proposing out at some vineyard/winery near Fredericksburg. But, he did ended up going to Bella on the River afterward to celebrate!

If they are carnivores (LOL), The Brazilian Steakhouses downtown are awesome. Fogo de Chao and Texas De Brazil. Nice atmospheres with a different dining experience and great food. Both are right downtown and close to catching carriages and/or going to the Riverwalk.

She said yes! They want a short engagement and she wants a Sept date but all of us told him we wouldn't show up because of football.

If she insists on Sept it might be a short engagement.
