"Loved this place! We were here for work but it is perfect for a romantic dinner. Don't plan on having any cell service though as it's up in the canyon on the side of the mountain. The service was really good. I had the steak and lobster which was really good!" 

"Now I believe the awards! We had a fabulous meal, the waitstaff were friendly, attentive, but not overbearing. Well worth the drive! Get the bison!"

"My wife and I are in our early thirties and loved this place! Very good food, excellent service, and a great view of the waterfall. I would definitely go back."

"Beautiful drive to historic log getaway. Delicious dinner in picturesque corner of dining room. A.special evening with great friends."


Relationship tip : Kindness in marriage goes a long way. Take a chore you know your spouse isn't very fond of.

Reviews from Trip Advisor

"We love this place. Every time we are in the area we try to stop here. Food is delicious. Sweet potato fries are super good! Desserts are delicious!! Great location too!"

"We shared a southwestern style wrap and a turkey avocado sandwich and both were great. Service was friendly and our food came out fast, fresh and fantastic. The location is great too, right in historic downtown Provo, a great place to walk around and burn off some of your meal. Prices are not bad either."

"Took my daughter to this place for lunch. Service was great. Food was better. The wrap I had was very good. The sweet potato fries were delicious. We didn't feel rushed at all. I will visit this place again when in the area."

"Nice eclectic menu, the food is always very good here. Good atmosphere, good prices, and good service."

Relationship tip: on this date ask questions like “Who was your first crush?” and “Who was your best friend when you were 9? Do you know what happened to him/her?” Asking each other fun question such as these will help you grow closer together.

Reviews from Trip Advisor

"Great food. Loved going back to this restaurant. Visited 3 years ago after watching it on Diners Drive-is and Dives. Just as good now."

"The MOLE is to die for......😍🚀 Go to their website for an accurate description of the ingredients. I believe that this receipt can only be enjoyed at the Red 🦎 Iguana here in Salt Lake. Be prepared to wait....Believe me it's worth the wait.... "

"Large portions. Authentic foods. Capable staff, competent and wise owner. Can't go wrong trying a variety of dishes. Long lines develop around 5, so come early."

"The food, the food, the food! Amazing moles, real Mexian food in a restaurant with old school decor. This is the real deal when it comes to Mexican food with a huge menu, good drinks, and friendly employees."



Relationship tip: on this date ask questions like "Do you remember sleepover parties from when you were a kid? What did you like about them? What did you hate about them?” This question could bring up childhood memories and these could be fun to share with your spouse.

Shakespeare at the Globe

Screen Shot 2017-05-19 at 11.58.47 AM.png
If you find yourself in London in the Summer, there is no better thing to do for a date than seeing a Shakespeare play at the Globe Theatre! This summer is the “Summer of Love” at the Globe.

Screen Shot 2017-05-19 at 12.12.17 PM.png

They will be showing Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, Tristan and Yseult, Much Ado About Nothing, King Lear and more! Check here for the Globe calendar to see what is playing when.

Screen Shot 2017-05-19 at 12.15.07 PM.png

Going to the globe is such an incredible experience! You can buy seats ahead of time between 20 - 45 pounds ($26 - $58.50) or you can standing tickets for only 5 pounds ($6.50).

Screen Shot 2017-05-19 at 12.17.16 PM.png

I’ve had the chance to go to a few shows at the Globe and it was an incredible experience! Although you have to stand the whole time if you get the cheaper tickets, you get to be much closer to the stage. You feel as though you are part of the story!

Screen Shot 2017-05-19 at 12.17.37 PM.png

There are day shows as well as evening shows. You could go for lunch or dinner and then enjoy a show at Shakespeare’s Globe!

Relationship Tip: Experience culture and make a great memory together at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre! Such sweet memories made together will never be forgotten.
