Date night restaurant recommendations — looking for input

Saving this for reference. Quality thread.

Want to share my personal experience related to Date night restaurant since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 286 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 10 months later: I am down 51 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Date night restauran aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Date night restaurant.

To answer mike_nyc: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
