With chains such as Chili’s, Red Robin, and Tony Roma’s beginning to close in Edmonton, I have been wanting to take a more local approach to dining on date nights. Although Valentine’s Day is behind us, it is important to keep the spark going with your loved ones year-round, and by keeping date-night (or girl’s night) local, you can support local, small businesses and surprise your dinner-guest with something unique. I have compiled a list of some of the local eateries that I am looking forward to sharing a meal at with my partner in the near future.
