Best Spots for a Romantic Dinner in Hagerstown, MD

My husband and I love to eat out in nice restaurants and whenever we are feeling a little romantic, we like to dine at Fireside Restaurant and Lounge at the Plaza Hotel in Hagerstown, MD. The Fireside Restaurant and Lounge serves American cuisine that is moderately priced. They have fabulous crab cakes and prime rib, and other top of the line meals you can purchase. What makes the Fireside Restaurant and Lounge so romantic is the fireplace in the center of the restaurant. When my husband and I first started dating, he had made reservations for us to eat at the Fireside Restaurant and he had requested a table by the fireplace. For the past 12 1/2 years, whenever we go to the Fireside Restaurant and Lounge, we request a table by the fireplace.

The Fireside Restaurant has a nice upscale appearance and feel, but you don't have to dress your best to eat there or to feel like you fit in. The dress is casual and the staff is very friendly. My husband and I usually can both eat there for around $50.00 with the tip included.

The Fireside Restaurant and Lounge has a pretty nice salad bar, too. I love a nice salad bar, but a lot of restaurants you will find their salad bars are not kept as fresh as they should be. At the Fireside Restaurant, their salad bar is always fresh.

If you are in the party mood, you can go to the other side of the Fireside Restaurant and drink at the lounge. If you are planning a banquet, the Fireside Restaurant can accommodate you there as well.

If you are looking for something romantic, but want a little more than dinner, you have to go to the Washington County Playhouse, located at 44 North Potomac Street in Hagerstown, MD. The Washington County Playhouse is a dinner theater with year-round shows that change approximately every two months. Your meal is an all you can eat buffet and the food is good. It is rather romantic, as the theater and dinner area is dimly lit while you enjoy your meal. The productions they Playhouse presents are rather good as well. The dancing, singing and scene changes are just amazing to me. The theater is completely dark during the scene changes, yet the actors and actresses manage to get everything changed in a matter of seconds without any problems.

My husband and I have seen many shows there including Ain't Misbehavin', Annie, Grease, West Side Story, Bye Bye Birdie, and the King and I. For around $60.00, you and your loved one can enjoy a romantic evening at the Washington County Playhouse. You need to make reservations though, as they are always sold out.
