So my buddy...(yea it really isn't me) is taking a girl out and he wants to take her somewhere nice and fun, but not to expensive any ideas??? Thanks

It really depends on what age bracket your friend is in.
If he is younger than 25, I would consider P.F. Changs a pretty reasonable first date.
Older than 25 and I would say Ruffino's or Juban's.

DiGiulio's. Sitting inside will help with the awkwardness - I've overheard some awkward first dates on the patio.
Or Tsunami.
Assuming he's college-aged: I disagree that Chelsea's isn't nice enough. You don't want to blow your wad out of the gate and have the girl expecting Manseur's every date-night. Plus it's a fun area to be in after dinner - martini's at Duvic's (also works with DiGiulio's

Bonefish Grill is money.
Decent price
Good atmosphere, but not too romantic
Great bartenders and drinks
Smaller, lighter portions, so the booze will continue to be a social lubricant throughout the night

Take her to Flemings... but only let her order bread and water. Don't want them bitches thinking they can have whatever they want...

I was going to say Chelseas, but...what about Bistro Byronz?
Posted on 3/23/10 at 1:05 am to darbour21
Zea might fit the bill. I don't know that it's jumpin' up and down with fun. I think the piano bar in Gino's is fun.

Start at Duvics for a cocktail. Grab a beer at Chelseas then slide over to Digiulio Brothers for a glass of wine and the cambazola appetizer. Walk down to Rock-n-Sake for some sushi. Return to Chelseas and see a band. Finish at Schlittz with a slice.

Chimes
Bonefish Grill
P.F. Changs
Bistro Byronz
should all fit the bill.

I don't care what age you are. You don't take a girl to a place like this on a first date.

Yeah, I'd be a little creeped if someone took my to Juban's on a first date, especially if I hardly knew the person.

Chelsea's

Alittle nicer then that
You haven't been to eat at Chelsea's recently I assume. I posed the same question a couple months back, and I agreed w/ the response. Went to Chelsea's. It was cool. Still spent $70 bucks so it's not like you're getting out the door for cheap.
I wanted a place that has good/diverse food selection, enough going on to have a little background distraction because you're not having a heart to heart on a first date, and something that doesn't say you're too cheap. I rarely go to chains for dinner unless I'm asked to go.
Still seeing the chick so it couldn't have been too bad.

Chimes
Chimes is a bad move on first date IMO. Chimes is a place to grab a beer after or something.
ETA: In upper 20's...I'd recommend this place for 20-35ish.

Been away from B.R. for a while. Where's Chelsea's?
There used to be a bar in Bon Marche Mall called Chelsea's, and then there was a place called Chelsea's in that strip mall at Highland and State Streets.
I'm assuming that it's neither of those places!
