I would generally agree with Willie's list with one MAJOR exception:
I cannot believe that Pete Miller's in Evanston could POSSIBLY make that list....

Don't get me wrong, I've eaten there,,,,both alone while in school, and with the wife several times. But this is NOT a "romantic" restaurant in my sense of the word.

It's a very nice steak joint with some music in the bar area, but it really is more of a "go out with 2 other couples sort of place".
Hope that's of help to someone who might otherwise be dissapointed....
Best wishes.
