Best Date Night Restaurants in Dayton, Kentucky

Great drinks and atmosphere. Loved it! Thank you Em!

Amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everything was fantastic. Wow! From the steaks to the cakes we enjoyed it all. What a great holiday treat.

I celebrated my anniversary here, and it was fantastic. They surprised us with a sweet anniversary card, and our waiter was attentive, funny, and gave great recommendations. The food was incredible. We got focaccia and burrata to start, ribeye and filet mignon for mains, with phenomenal Brussels sprouts. The house-made caramel gelato was the perfect ending!

My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous pre-Christmas date night at The Aperature. I have been wanting to dine here since they opened but hadn’t yet been able to make it in. Our food was fabulous and our server, Sam, was perfectly friendly and attentive. In fact the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed sharing the small plates. We had the garlic & eggplant hummus, the sweet potato with feta, the kale pesto spaghetti, and the ribeye. Literally every single bite was delicious. We split the toffee pudding for dessert. We felt the food quality was as good or better than another local small plates restaurant we visited this time last year and The Aperature bill was HALF of what it was at the other place.

We went to lunch to celebrate my wife’s birthday and were immediately impressed by our server, Chrissy, and her knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. The ambiance was intimate and soft at the beginning, but between the house music and the increasing number of patrons, it became quite loud. Still, the food and attention to detail were the stars of the show. The eggplant parmigiana, tagliatelle al prosciutto, and the Italian Stallion cocktail were among the best of the afternoon. To finish, a complimentary donut served with a delicate salted caramel sauce brought the birthday celebration to a special level. We highly recommend and we will return for another great experience!
