dinner date

Romantic restaurant outing

A dinner date is a romantic outing centered on sharing a meal, typically at a restaurant: He asked her on a dinner date.

The phrase emphasizes both the dining and the courtship elements—distinguishing it from casual meals with friends or purely social gatherings.

It can also refer to the person you're dining with: She's my dinner date tonight.
