Sambuca is a great place for that because not only does it offer a variety of delicious dishes and cocktails, but it also has live music and dancing in case things start to get a little dull. The bar offers some of the most creative cocktails in the area if you need to loosen up before or during dinner and you and your date won't be disappointed with the menu.
