Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are known for being a great family destination, but did you know this is also a great place for a romantic getaway?
Besides long, lazy days at the beach and romantic, sunset strolls, the Alabama Gulf Coast has some amazing hot spots for romantic dinners! Connect (or reconnect) by candlelight as you savor specially dishes prepared by chefs who are passionate about their cuisine.
Fine Dining for Two
Villagio Grille at The Wharf
When you make reservations at this Italian-inspired restaurant, request a quiet table for two by a window or outdoors where you can watch the nightly light show at The Wharf. Begin your meal with Prosciutto Rockefeller, fresh Louisiana oysters topped with prosciutto, spinach, cream and parmesan. Sounds decadent, doesn't it? Enjoy a seafood dish or filet mignon and then share a crème brûlée with fresh berries for dessert.
Voyager's at Perdido Beach Resort
Voyager's is located in the Perdido Beach Resort, but it's not your standard hotel restaurant! Chef's menu focuses on sustainable seafood, fresh, seasonal selections, locally sourced vegetables and natural and organic ingredients. Service here is impeccable, as well, making you feel like royalty from the moment they pull out the chair and lay your napkin across your lap to the last sip of coffee with dessert. Make reservations and request a quiet table by a window.
Fisher's Upstairs at Dockside
The coastal decor at Fisher's Upstairs is bested only by the flavor of each perfect dish. Executive Chef Bill Briand, a multiple-time James Beard Award semi-finalist, creates and serves a seasonal menu inspired by Southern coastal cuisine. A custom cocktail menu, extensive wine list and personal service invite you to linger from appetizer to dessert. Reservations are strongly recommended.
Picnic on the Beach
What could possibly be more romantic than a sunset picnic on the beach? Order dinner to go from one of the restaurants throughout Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Then, take a blanket, stretch out on a quiet spot on the beach and enjoy a romantic dinner for two as you watch the sun slip away to the west. Whether looking for the ultimate in fine dining, coastal cuisine or the finest steak, there's a romantic spot at Gulf Shores and Orange Beach to share with the one you love. Make it a tradition and come back again next year.
