Celebrity chef Joachim Splichal’s Las Vegas restaurant, Pinot Brasserie, can be a romantic, depending on where you choose to sit. Its terrace area looks out onto restaurant row at The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, so no matter the time of day, you’ll encounter a good amount of foot traffic streaming through. But the main dining room’s overall ambience, which is punctuated by dark woods, rich leathers, antique lamps and brass fittings, make the restaurant feel more Champs Elysées and less Las Vegas Strip. When you factor in the buttery and decadent California-French cuisine, you’ll have yourself a quaint location for a date night — and one where you can nosh on a three-course meal for under $100 per person. So if romance is on your mind, we recommend booking a table in the main dining room or in one of the restaurant’s private dining spaces. You’ll be glad you did.
