A Night on the Town
Day Note:
Start with a romantic dinner at perhaps Orlando's finest French restaurant - I highly recommend the Filet Mignon, and order it medium rare; I also recommend making reservations as far in advance as possible - then move on to a gorgeous wine bar for drinks and desserts, and maybe take a walk around Lake Eola at night. Finish up at downtown's swankiest hotel.

Description:
This fine French restaurant is located on a nondescript stretch of Orange Avenue better known for convenience stores than gourmet eateries. Inside, guests enter a world of romantic lighting, starched white tablecloths and excellent cuisine. You might begin with Onion Soup, topped with Gruyere cheese or an appetizer of phyllo dough stuffed with vegetables and cheese, and follow that with a grouper filet or a Black Angus steak.
