    Notes about entry: I used the move objects cheat to put the canal boats in the water, and then elevated them a bit so they wont disappear in the water. However the bottom of the boats are intersecting with the water, i did this on purpose though, to make it look like the boats are actually moving through the water. I thought it would be a nice decorative touch.

    Hi @Cbear13 here is my very very pink entry, is inspired by toy castles :D Something cute that allowed me to play with romance ;) They are 4 different dinning rooms to adapt it to my style of play: one for humans, one for occults, a terrace and one for families or group of friends (sometimes families use the restaurant at my game and I do not want them to be split, but that room works to celebrate the wedding or the votes renovation, both available at the game).

    Notes about entry: I keep the fence open because this type of fence have a problem: tthe joints of the grid are not clean, you can see leaves through the wall (inside the room, like some plants where sticking), outside does not look clean, but I wanted that type of fence. It looks better open and I keep the problem out. Here is the picture (ignore the woohoo bush, lol):

    The design and layout of Riverbost Romance looks so very nice! @liel88 :) It is very special and creative the way that that the restaurant is built over the water with the riverboats and candles in the canal! The brambles and flower petals look very nice on the walls of the venue. Very nice outdoors dining areas! It looks very nice how the 2 heart shaped dining chairs and red coloured tables have been set up for the sims to enjoy eating their meals in the outdoors air. The roses are a romantic touch on the tables, and the red candles look very nice. Very nice wedding ceremony area! The heart shaped chairs look very nice how they are placed for the wedding guests to enjoy watching the wedding. It is nice how the reception tables area has been designed, off from the wedding arch area. The views of the natural water, candles and fountains area whilst dining would be very nice! It is nice that the music stage area is on the edge of the water. Sims will enjoy listening to the music being played.
    It is a very special and very nice designed Valentines restaurant! :)

    Wow, all these restaurants are absolutely fantastic, I love everyone's take on this theme. I'm in a Tuscany mode and couldn't resist creating an Italian restaurant for Valentines Day :)

    Notes about entry: A traditional Italian restaurant with romance in mind. Private tables for two, a bar area, stage for the band and dance floor for those intimate slow dances. There is a formal wedding room on the first floor as well as an office to sign the register. Ladies and Gents WCs are also on this floor. At the rear there are more tables for dining al fresco and a casual wedding area for those beautiful sunny days :)

    The castle exterior design of Happy Ending Restaurant looks so very fairy taleish! @emere :) The towers look very nice and the pink colour scheme looks very pretty! The flower box windows are a nice touch. Very nice furnishing of the interior of the venue! Very nice host and waiting room. The black and white chequered flooring gives a very nice look to the room. Nice sofa seat sitting area for sims to sit in front of the fire waiting for a dining table. The flowers on the round table and fireplace ledge look pretty. It looks very nice the way that the dining tables areas have been set up in the diferent areas for humans and for occults. The pink chairs and the gothic style chairs suit the types of dining . The pink wall pattern in the human dining area looks pretty! The red roses are romantic touches on the tables. The candles look very nice there. The black and white colour scheme of the occult dining area looks great! Very nice bar area! The drinks shelves are a nice touch on the wall. Sims will enjoy sitting on the stools having a drink from the bar and listening to music through the wall speaker. Very nice design of the outdoors wedding corner nook! It looks very nice how the seats have been placed on each side of the arch. The water feature with the engagement ring is very special! It looks great!
    It is a very nice fairytale castle restaurant :)

Very nice furnishing of the areas of the interior of the restaurant ! The salmon pink, orange and green colour scheme of the venue areas looks very nice!

    Wow, I agree with @Cbear13, there are so many gorgeous romantic restaurants! I have to agree with @emere, it's hard to do romantic so I tried to be creative.

    For me, romantic restaurant brings images of an Italian restaurant, so here's Romanza Ristorante. The main dining room is in the showroom. There's a bar area with an area where guests can wait for their tables to be ready. Upstairs, there's a private party room with a dance floor and DJ booth; it's perfect for a private party like a bridal shower or engagement party. Outside there's wedding arch and an area for outdoor dining or an outdoor wedding reception.

    Notes about entry: Paintings in the showroom/main dining room downstairs were done by SimFairyPetra, Nat052970, Eevam and surfchiccreation. The rose petals on the stage intersect with the pink border on the floor. The Replica Rangoli overlap on the dance floor upstairs because I was trying to make a heart shape using three of the rangoli decals. Almost all of the decorations on the wedding cake sculpture in the back yard go into each other because I was trying to achieve the effect of frosting decorations so they could not look like they were separate items. There are floor lights under the wedding arch and trellis in the back yard to give more but unobtrustive light to that area. Hollyhocks are massed together around the sign in front and in The Folly of Lady Chloris. Perennials for Millennials has been pushed into the front of The Folly of Lady Chloris in the backyard to make it look like the floral arch is a part of the Folly. The Quetzal wall lights intersect each other and the top of the sign in front of the restaurant. Malva ground cover also goes under the sign in the front of the restaurant. Hedera Canariensis ground cover goes into the bottoms of the swan sculpture and the plants in the front "heart shaped" flower bed. I needed the ground cover to complete the bottom of the heart shape; there are also ground lights under some of the plants in the heart shaped flower bed. Finally, H.S. Trionic draperies intersect with the Royal Wedding Swags in the bar/waiting room.

    The exterior design of Romanza Ristorante is very pretty! @lsnishi :) The awnings covered open shutter flower box windows are very nice in the build! Very pretty flowers and swans feature in the front area. The chef pigs either sides of the sign look cute! Very nice furnishing of the interior of the venue! It is very nice that there is bar area in the waiting room. Sims will enjoy sitting resting on the sofa having a drink from the in front of the fire as they wait for a table. The flowers and floral wall picture are very pretty there. Very nice design of the dining room! The raised music stage area looks great! The wall pictures, red patterned wall squares, pink patterned floor rug and floral petals on it looks so very nice! It looks very nice how the dining tables and heart shaped dining chairs are set up there. The red roses are romantic touches on the dining tables. Sims will enjoy listening to the music being played whilst dining. The heart shape of the patterned floor prints on the dance floor is a nice touch. Very nice design of the outdoors reception area! The white floor patterns, pink tables and white chairs and the candles on them look very romantic. The design of the wedding cake sculpture using the mannequins and heart teddies looks creatively great! Very pretty outdoors wedding area! The flower petals along the aisleway and the candles on the edges of it looks very nice.
    It is a very nice restaurant ! :)

    Wow, so many Gorgeous entries, such creativity they are all so different and unique, so glad I am not a judge :)

    @Cbear13 did you want an actual proposal picture for the sims at the Venue or have I made that up ?

    I spoke too Soon!
    it died on my 3 times while playing, think its time for more Ram or even a new graphics card . . . Ouch!
    my chaps looking at it on Saturday for me the game litrally just shuts down my pc, which then struggles to re boot, but it does reboot and I can get in the game and play for a bit again . . .
    However, Ive mangaged to load it this morning and finish a few tweaks on my build, as I wasnt happy with it when I looked at it in the gallery so decided to do something about it!
    It took the full 3 attempts, but I have re uploaded

    @Cbear13 I have updated the link and 1st image in my original post.
