Range time, movie, then dinner. It'll give you some great conversation topics.
My Wife's favorite night out from the kids is The Fort in Morrison. Need a reservation about a week in advance if there isn't a holiday near. We try to go there a few times a year. Fancy 3 course meal place, you can dress up if you want. I don't like dressing up so I usually just wear the nicer cowboy boots and not beat up jeans. If you go there make sure to try the Quail.
Duck-a-holic and quack-addict!
Casa Bonita?
Well, Sirloin Stockade, for one.
