You may even have money left to pick up a nice bouquet of flowers. Here are the top five romantic restaurants in Phoenix Arizona

Quiessence Restaurants: What can more romantic than dining at a farm filled with over 100 pecan trees and 12 acres of organic gardens. Reservations can be made online at www.quiessencerestaurant.com. The wine selection was voted by Bloomberg as one of the best in the Southwest. Their knowledgeable staff will be happy to offer advice in pairing a wine with your meal. Main entrees start at around $19 and up. I recommend ordering the Cocoa Braised Beef or The Wood Grilled Swordfish. If all you desire for your romantic meal is atmosphere and dessert, you will not be disappointed. Try the vanilla custard or the gingerbread shortcake. You can reach them online or at (602) 276-0601

The Melting Pot: I enjoy The Melting Pot not necessarily for its cuisine, but that it is a romantic conversation place and has a wonderful dessert menu. You can check out the full menu at their website. They also offer dinner packages for special occasions. For example, for Valentines Day and that week, The Melting Pot offers a 4 course gourmet meal,love quiz, souvenir photo and a gift bag and bonus gift certificate when you return to dine next time. The restaurant will also be specially decorated for that Valentines week. The cost is between $130 to $150 per couple. If ordering from the menu, I suggest the cheese fondue for $18, the Shrimp and Sirloin for $23, and chocolate fondue for dessert starting at $16 dollars. These can be shared as they feed 1 to 2 people. The wine list is also fairly good. You can visit them at their website at www.meltingpot.com.

Bistro 24: Located in the Ritz Carlton Hotel this restaurant is romantic with cuisine that is French Bistro. Many enjoy a stay at the hotel while enjoying breakfast or dinner at Bistro 24. I recommend ordering for dinner the Steak au Poivre, or the spinach scallop salad. Prices on the menu start at around $15 dollars and up.
