Can you provide any more parameters than that? Location? Cuisine? Price?
With no more parameters, I'll start the bidding with Union Bar & Grill, in the South End.

Tough to be specific without more details, but some favorites that I enjoyed taking my gf to (on our early dates):
- Stella: in the south end and very good italian food with a fun, young, but classy (not snotty) crowd. I would do dinner here and then walk down a few blocks to Beehive for drinks/live music
- B&Q (which i saw above) is good but a bit noisy with small tables. though still a very fun place
- Taranta is one of the better north end joints if you want italian with a little twist and proximity to the cozy streets of the north end (and a cannoli at Mike's Pastry when you are done -- its a little hokey but a lot of fun)
- Tapeo on newbury is a really fun place for tapas and sangria. high quality food in a fun, very colorful place. i have had good dates here.
happy to hone in a little bit if you provide more specs

The "need to consider what the other plans for the evening are" is true for all of these recommendations. Craigie -- which is, after all, all of five minutes from parts of Boston -- may be more convenient for the OP than many options in Boston proper.
