Best Cheap Date

Blue Dahlia Bistro

Rustic, romantic, European-style - Blue Dahlia breathes new life into overused restaurant-review adjectives with its winning combination of locally-sourced French cuisine, cozy decor, and moderate pricing. Whether your date prefers the candlelit interior or the enchanting outdoor bamboo garden, you'll get that classy-yet-casual vibe. For the true bargain-hunter, the happy hour Bellinis and tartines can't be beat.
