For the Adventurous
Nothing says adventure like dinner for two in a treehouse! Norwoodâs Treehouse is an iconic spot in New Smyrna as it not only offers gourmet dishes and the best seafood, but it also boasts of al fresco dining amongst the treetops.

Throw self-control to the wind and go crazy together over a menu that holds everything from Pretzels Nâ Cheese to Chicken Marsala. Donât be surprised if the Seaside Smash cocktail and your loveâs impish encouragement lead you to starring in their weekly karaoke night!

Those with venturous palates and a love for culture will find plenty of delicious options in NSBâs restaurant scene. Experience the height of Italian dining and old-world ambiance in the areaâs staple, The Garlic. Share an Eggplant Parmigiano in a Tuscany-inspired, garden atmosphere and reconnect over your passion for world events and amazing bruschetta. Cross the globe (or drive five minutes) to experience some of Asiaâs finest contributions to the culinary world. AA Garden Fusion is located along Flagler Avenue and provides a rich assortment of Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese dishes.

For the Romantics
If low-lighting, soft music, and your loveâs shining eyes across the table are how you envision the perfect date night, youâll find that New Smyrna Beach has the romantic atmospheres your soul longs for. Share whispered words over glasses of wine in the magical garden of Third Wave Café. Nestled amongst string lights and palm fronds, this outdoor dining experience sets the mood for meaningful conversation. We recommend lovers start with the Charcuterie and Cheese Combo and end their evening sipping Café au Laits. If a little black dress and suit are your choice of clothing, the Grille at Riverview will match your classy attire. Splurge on a traditional steak and lobster entrée and enjoy the sight of your dapper-looking date as the sun sets on the river beside you.
