Romantic Restaurant

Hi im wondering if anyone knows of a good romantic restaurant in Baton Rouge? The type of food doesnt really matter, just more or less looking for that hidden gem that locals there might know about.

There's The Melting Pot off of Corporate. Fondue restaurant where you cook your own food ... If that's not your thing, there's The Little Village downtown ... And, if you're into sushi, I can't recommend Tsunami enough (of course, it is extremely popular, which means also crowded, but there's a rooftop pavilion area that offers an awesome view of the Mississippi River adjacent to the restaurant).
Melting Pot is over price for the quality of food that is served. This one is my favorite and a lot of local doesn't even know about it. http://www.maisonlacour.com/ml/Photos.html
I can tell you this, the best restaurant in Baton Rouge is Roberto's

Try Ruffino's Italian restaurant off of Highland Road. Really nice lowkey place, and the food is top notch.

It's been a while but I used to enjoy the atmosphere at Jubals (sp)....food was excellent
Skeeter I think you meant Jubans on Perkins by Acadian, it is a Red Stick institution. Sadly one of the best restaurants in BR closed many years ago, The Village, it ws about as romantic as they come. I would second Ruffinos and would also recommend Stroubes. I have never eaten there but folks have said it is great. If you are willing to get out of town a little, Houmas House has a great restaurant and drinks in the garçonnière after really set the mood.
Is there a Ruth's Chris there? Gotta love the booths behind the curtains
