Date Night Suggestions in Metro?

DH and I have scored a great sitter for Friday night and he's taking me out on the first date we've had in about 6 months.  I'm super duper excited! Now we're lost for ideas though and want to do something special.  Neither of us drink so bars are pretty much out. Any other ideas?

    Ohana's steakhouse

    Hairspray is at The Des Moines Playhouse,

    the Drive-In  in Newton is fun sometimes too!

    The Funny Bone

    Imax movie

    Cooking class together - I did this once and we basically cooked our own dinner and then hung out... it was a good time!

     I'll keep thinking...

    Since we have a small child DH and my go to date is usually a nice dinner out and then a movie (going to a movie theater is not possible with C yet).  Right now I'm trying to schedule a date night to go see the Body Vitals exhibit at the Science Center before it's gone.  That could be an interesting date, dinner downtown somewhere nice, then the body vitals exhibit, then maybe dessert and coffee afterward somewhere?

    We went to Baru 66 in Windsor Heights last week for my birthday and it was SO good.

    We love Ohana's!  Although if you want it to be more intimate since you'd have to sit w/ a group you may want to consider somewhere else.

    Dinner downtown - then you could go to All Play or IMax.

    Thank you for all of the suggestions! I think we decided on dinner at Biaggi's and then a movie.  I took Friday off so I can take a nap and make it through the movie without falling asleep.  It's a rare feat these days with a teething toddler. :)
