Choosing the perfect restaurant for date night!

When it comes to our significant other, or a crush that we're taking out on a first date, we're extra cautious about where we decide to spend time together with them. 

You want to avoid embarrassment, sky rocketing prices, unhygienic locations and unfriendly staff. Here are some of the things to focus on while picking the right place for date night.  

1. Look for a place that suits both your dietary restrictions.

Is he/she allergic to anything? Is your s/o a vegetarian/vegan? It's always better to ask what their food preferences are before making a reservation.

2. Check Prices online or call in

Don't go to a super fancy restaurant if there's a hole in your wallet. It's best to stick to something simple and quaint with a modest ambience. Nobody likes a show off that has nothing to show for. Play it safe! 

Try not to feel pressured into taking them to a location that'll make your credit card balance go into the negatives. Understanding what you realistically can and can't afford automatically makes your restaurant search easier.

3. The energy of an environment can make or break the conversation.

Don't go to a noisy place that's in an open area with no air conditioning. Try to pick a place where you can sit comfortably and speak comfortably without the fear of someone listening in on all of your private talk.

And obviously you don't want to be forcefully eavesdropping either. Don't go to a food court. I repeat, do NOT go to a food court. 

If you know that the person you're courting is a jokester who likes to have fun, it wouldn't make total sense to take them to a fancy-schmancy place with a ton of rules and regulations (e.g., having to wear a tux/dress with heels, no loud talking, etc.). This is not to say that funny people don't like serious environments either, but you get the drift.

4. Location!

Where do you both live? How long is it going to take to pick them up from one end of the city and drive them to the restaurant? Or if you aren't picking them up, then how easy is it going to be for them to get there? All these small considerations matter. 

5. Online reviews

Get online and read up on some reviews, check out the restaurant's facebook page, blog, review sites/pages and groups on social media to find out if the restaurant is as good as their advertisement. 

6. Skip the whole enchilada and choose Sea Emperor.

Apart from the location which may be an issue, you'll find that we cater to every other need on here. Great food, friendly staff and a lovely ambience for you and your significant other is already in order. We cater to vegetarians, non vegetarians AND we're multi-cuisine so you don't have to spend hours deciding on whether you want Indian or Chinese :) 

Now you just need to pick a good time...and of course, a date. 

So what are you waiting for? Start making those weekend plans!
