Marcus B&P (the wings are awesome), Swahili Village, and Bar Vanquish are all pretty solid.

It’s not a restaurant but I’d also recommend Divino Tasting Room. The private tasting would be great for a date night and does come with small bites. I’m not sure of the setup for a drop in visit.

Q’tal Bar & Grill in Kearny has good food and a nice date night ambience.
