dinner dates

Romantic restaurant appointments

Dinner dates are social engagements centered on sharing an evening meal, typically with romantic overtones.

The phrase usually implies two people getting to know each other or maintaining a relationship: We've been on three dinner dates this month.

It can also describe planned outings with friends, though the singular dinner date more strongly suggests romance.
