I personally like Sambuca's for special occassions because you get the whole package: atmosphere, good food and drinks, and entertainment.
 
@N+T: I see that it has live music too. Is it the kind of music that people actually get up & dance to though? It seems really cool. The menu looks awesome.

Yes, people will dance to it.  Usually not a lot of folks but a handfull or so.  There is an event calender on the website so you can see who is playing on the night you want to go.  some times it is jazzy and sometims more rock.  They have great drinks too, but they are a little pricey.  I save this place for special occasions because of the cost.  Back in xray school i had a classmate who worked there and she would give us discounts so we would go more often.   4951

@N+T: The price range looks great. Is it romantic ambiance though or more party oriented? Our anniversary last year, DH had just totaled the tahoe & we had hospital bills from my pneumonia stay a couple weeks prior. We ate fast food, his mom gave us free movie passes from a coupon book, & we went to the park. We had an amazing time because we were together but this year we're doing it right. Nice restaurant we've never been to before (dancing would be a neat plus), art museum, & then I'm surprising him with joystix afterwards. We both got gifts for one another too which we don't usually do for anniversary, just usually nice cards. He's hard to surprise but he's going to love & be surprised with the gifts I got him & our stop at joystix. Really looking forward to the night.

Heathur: the atmosphere is nice but it can get loud with the music.   If you want quite romantic this might not be the place.

Outback Grill on Shepherd St. is really good.   Go for the Blue Cheeseburger!  Also Brennens on the Bayou is good but very pricey. 4951

Aladdin is really good if you like Indian food. There is some place called treebeards down town as well that is supposed to be good too, I don't know what type of restaurant it is but my brother and his girlfriend will drive two hours from where he lives just to go there.  4951

Heathur:I have been to Sambuca.....and, I would TOTALLY and COMPLETELY love to go back again.  It really really is nice, good food too!  Make reservations, and ask to be at a table "near" the musicians....The jazz music is good!  You would really, really enjoy it.  Like I said, the food is really good too!  Emoticon 4951

One of Treebeards locations  is in the tunnels.  The food is good for lunch but reminds me of good "cafe" food. Not a place for an anniversary. JMO  Emoticon
 
 
sapphire: Oh I have not been there before just would always hear him talking about it when I would go visit.
