Best Date Night Restaurants in Middletown

We had a great time. The food was excellent - we ordered 4 pastas - one per person and shared. All pastas were delicious. The ambiance was good - I like the expanded space at Pepe & Dolores. The server was very helpful as well.

We had a wonderful time! Our server Chris was excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. The mansion is gorgeous. Food was great, we had the wagyu meatball and it was one of the best I’ve had. We also had steak, petite filet for me and ribeye for my husband. They were so tender and flavorful. We ordered mashed potatoes and the Mac and cheese as a side, both were great. Bread was also served and it’s a locally sourced sourdough served with a truffle butter and regular butter. Cheesecake was good but not a fan of the cherry sauce. Was a bit medicinal to me. Overall a great evening.

The food was very good. We liked all of the dishes we ordered. The honey hazel nut goat cheese grilled bread and prosciutto arugula salad were great starters. All of the pasta is done well. I had the chicken thigh special for second course and it was fantastic. We each ordered dessert but they were huge. They tasted great but we had to bring some home.

We happened upon Jags by pure happenstance tonight, the night before Thanksgiving, while traveling to family for the holiday. We were stuck in traffic on 75N and decided we didn’t have it in us to make it all the way to Fort Wayne. 11 hours for a normal 6.5 hour trip is just ridiculous. We booked the Staybridge and I booked a bar reservation at Jags thanks to reviews here, not even realizing it was in the same parking lot! What a fortunate surprise! From walking in the door, to our experience with Dan and his colleague, a lovely gal with rooster earrings, but I can’t recall her name for the life of me, everything was absolutely phenomenal!! The crab bisque, filet and crab cake, the sides, the CARROT CAKE! The espresso martini the Weller CYPB…all of it top notch! Don’t even hesitate or question it. Just go!

Great food selections and the flavors..Devine! Cocktail list also creative and tasty. Kelly was great helping me select a wine to enjoy and all staff members courteous and friendly. Will return!
