Romantic restaurant on the North Shore?

My wife's birthday is on a Wednesday 9/9/09...

Any suggestions...we're looking for something casual. (and reasonable but don't tell her that)

There are a plethora of options in Highwood, which is usually the place I first check when I want a nice restaurant on the North Shore, but don't really have anything specific in mind.

What is your definition of "reasonable"? I am 22 and I would theorize that my reasonable is a LOT lower that your reasonable!

Also, any limits on cuisine?

Any cuisine except Indian...or Irish....

Under $30 per person...

Is that possible?

It depends on whether you expect a three-course meal with wine, tax, and tip for under $30, or just the cost of an entree. You can easily find entrees under $30, but not a full meal at a nice restaurant with everything included.

My suggestion is Campagnola, in Evanston. Finer dining ("white tablecloth") type place, excellent Italian food, moderately priced (entrees around $20), with the romantic atmosphere you're looking for.

We haven't been at Campagnola in ages...That sounds good.

thanks...
