Worth it restaurants recommendations

My partner just got some great news and we’re planning on celebrating this coming weekend, we always try new places all the time but typically just breakfast/brunch/coffee places and we’re actually looking to splurge a little on dinner but I want to make sure it’s on something worth it. We’ve tried a few nicer restaurants that were good but nothing I’d spend a ton of money on again. I.e rosewater in Raleigh, the food was good but the atmosphere was just not something I’d pay to be in again. I’m looking on recommendations on intimate “finer” dining experiences. Uncaring of price ranges just give me your best opinions please! We enjoy steakhouses, seafood (I am allergic to shellfish though, he is not) and I’m a big Italian and Mediterranean food lover. I hate spending a pretty penny on mediocre food so PLEASE help :)

Thanks in advance everyone!
