http://cremacafeminneapolis.com/index.php The food at Crema is excellent and they kind of have a romantic vibe. You might want to call and see if they still have their date night special that had something like 1/2 bottle of wine and two scoops of their epic ice cream included.
French Meadow is also awesome and has great dessert.
I know it's a chain, but Melting Pot is really fun. My ex and I celebrated our 5th aniversary there and they totally spoiled us.
Honestly I don't eat in downtown that often. It's expensive. Palomino is good but I've really only had their happy hour specials. I went to M&S Grill once for the grand opening party, but only had apps. Barrio is that tequila place on Nicollet Mall. Great selection of fine tequilas but SHITTY service, so I don't recommend it unless you enjoy waiting an hour for a refill on your drink. Hell's Kitchen has a flamenco band that starts at 7:30 tonight. They have an epic grilled cheese on their menu. They have fancier dinner food, too. I just have not tried it.
El Meson is a nice little date spot. It's not in downtown, though. If you go, make a reservation and tell them you want a booth.
Hells Kitchen is tasty. I would definitely recommend that. Brits Pub is also good but kind of expensive for the food they serve (ten bucks for a pasty? Jeeze).
