alsuave Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Any suggestions? I would like to take the wife somewhere nice. Preferably somewhere fancy where we can wear our nice clothes that we never get to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon1 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 In the Freeport, look at the Lighthouse Marina Hotel. They usually hold a nice Valentine's day dinner package (includes a photo, chinese lantern, dinner for 2). I think that I paid 2000p for that plus drinks (weren't included) back in 2012. There is also a high end restaurant now at the Spanish Gate across from the Fire Station. I haven't eaten there but heard it's expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsuave Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 Both those places sound interesting. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubicSteve Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 The old Spanish Gate place is now called The Castle. Supposed to be VERY good food. I hear the filet mignon is awesome there. Not a cheap place. Aresi's is also decent and not really that expensive. Wild Orchid has a dinner deal for about 700 pesos a person I think for a beef wellington dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsuave Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Ended up going to Texas Joe. Not the most romantic place, but at least we got to eat a ton of protein with minimal carbs. So we were happy. I do want to check out that Castle place though. Also, where is Aresi's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methersgate Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 My partner and I like Texas Joe's, because we can take the children, and one of the waitresses is a friend. Dependably good steaks at a not-silly price. But for a romantic dinner, European style, it has to be The Castle. Expensive, but good. The cheese board is good and well presented, the selection of Belgian beers is better than I have seen in Belgium, the "CR"s are of European standard, and the food, whilst it would not get a Michelin star, is sound. Be warned that the portions are very large.Calculate on say 12K for a dinner for two with wine from the (good) wine list. Oh, and the cigars are not bad, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
