The food might be the most important part of a restaurant, but the atmosphere is a close second. These seven restaurants, with out-of-this-world good food and breathtaking settings that will make you never want to leave, have mastered the art of both. See for yourself:

1. Villa Capri (Seabrook)

Situated right on Clear Lake, this quaint Italian bistro is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet dinner with your special someone - whether it be a first date or a life partner. The view is reminiscent of a Tuscan villa, and the food is fresh, rich, and delicious. My personal favorite menu item is the garlic bread because it's crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and smothered in creamy, full-fat butter. The address is 3713 E Nasa Pkwy, Seabrook, TX 77586

2. Cattleman's Steakhouse (Fabens)

It doesn't get much more authentic than a steakhouse on a ranch. If you time your visit appropriately, you'll get dinner and a breathtaking view of the sun making its descent behind the West Texas mountains. Not to mention the food is absolutely exquisite. It's located at 3450 S Fabens Carlsbad Rd, Fabens, TX 79838

3. Grotto Ristorante (Galveston)

Located in the San Luis hotel, Grotto is an upscale yet relaxing Italian cafe with a romantic seaside view. Enjoy a hearty pasta dish or a slice of brick oven pizza - no matter your choice, you definitely won't be disappointed. Try it out sometime at 5222 Seawall Blvd, Galveston, TX 77551.

4. Republic of Texas Bar and Grill (Corpus Christi)

The setting is almost as amazing as the food at this high-end steak and seafood restaurant. Located on the roof of the Omni Hotel, you'll have a striking panoramic view of the Gulf of Mexico extending as far as the eye can see. There's even a balcony you can walk out on after your meal. The address is 900 N Shoreline Blvd

Corpus Christi, TX 78401.

5. Reata Restaurant (Fort Worth)

Reata is a rooftop restaurant that showcases how beautiful big cities can be when they're all lit up at night. And the food doesn't disappoint either - it's Southwestern themed and guaranteed to send your taste buds straight to heaven. It's located at 310 Houston St, Fort Worth, TX 76102.

6. Spindletop at the Hyatt Regency (Houston)

Not only is Spindletop located hundreds of feet in the air on the top floor of the Hyatt Regency, but the room also revolves to give you a panoramic view of Houston at night. It's absolutely breathtaking, and the food is to die for. Pictured above is braised short ribs with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, and yams. The address is 1200 Louisiana St, Houston, TX 77002.

7. The Spot (Galveston)

If you've never had a burger from The Spot, you need to re-evaluate your life because they're amazing. Sit inside or outside on an upstairs wooden deck and enjoy a view that makes even the murky Galveston waters look like paradise. The address is 3204 Seawall Blvd

Galveston, TX 77550.
