Tips for a relaxed restaurant date

What should I consider when choosing food for a date?

It is usually better to choose something pleasant to eat and not too heavy. For a date, lighter and relaxed food is often the smarter choice.

How much alcohol makes sense for a restaurant date?

A glass of wine or one drink can fit well, but too much alcohol is rarely a good idea. For a stylish evening, restraint is usually the better approach.
