Bearden
Bearden is the grown-up answer to the Old City. Kingston Pike does most of the heavy lifting, with sit-down restaurants, a respectable wine list or two, and boutiques that survive on people who actually buy things at full price. The crowd skews professional, which means dinner reservations are a real concept here and not a suggestion. Walkability is honest within a few blocks; beyond that you are getting back in the car. Use Bearden when you want the date to look like a date, not a hang. Use somewhere else when you want plausible deniability about whether it was one.
