Do you find this whole concept , romantic? 
I find it pretty uncomfortable .. firstly coz my eyes have to struggle to look at people and the surroundings in dim light
Secondly , I cant eat food that i cant see clearly …
so yeah for those two reasons , I find it a waste of romance really !
I much prefer a well lit , sophisticated place with beautiful cutlery and crockery and choice of food , well presented dishes and awesomely dressed people around 
What do you guys think?
Re: Candle lit dinner ...
I think candle-lit/dimly-lit dinners are for people who can't cook/burned the food/etc.
Re: Candle lit dinner ...
Either way I am happy.
There is a certain ambiance people are looking for when they go for that dimly lit/candlelight dinner. A comfortable, romantic and cozy evening with some good food and relaxing atmosphere.
When you go to a more well lit place...its a bit different surrounding but also nice.
As long as the food is good...I don't mind what the lighting is like!
I just like good food :o

Agreed, as l
Re: Candle lit dinner …
Yea, as long as the food is good and the company is as well, lighting doesn’t matter much. Even a roadside dhaba can be romantic if I’m with the right person 
Re: Candle lit dinner ...
it's uncomfortable to eat food in bright lights!
Re: Candle lit dinner ...
I like it. Its looks so pretty and romantic. Food also taste better with nice ambiance.
Re: Candle lit dinner ...
I think they turn lighting down in restaurants because people get lazy and eat more.
Re: Candle lit dinner ...
would it be romantic to eat roti salan with candles on the table ... breathing masala on each other?
Re: Candle lit dinner ...
The candle-lit dinner setting....because it's all planned and carries more expectations and there's a greater feeling of self-consciousness.........seems a bit awkward and less romantic to me.
I like a setting that has more of a "natural" and spontaneous feel to it....where things are a bit more laidback and where there's greater freedom. I like the night sky better than the dimmed lights of a cande lit dinner. I find this sort of ambience more romantic...and of course it depends upon the company as well. I dunno, maybe I'm weird.
Re: Candle lit dinner ...
some of us are more bearable in dimly lit settings, if you know what i mean..
