Romantic Restaurants on 5th
Looking for some names of the more romantic restaurants on and nearby 5th. I know I've seen many, but the names escape me. I'd like to look a couple up. Any help is appreciated.

Yaxche is dark and pretty quiet upstairs away from the sidewalk crowds downstairs.

Sassygirl said Origenes was very nice (romantic) in her TR. I have not been yet so I cant speak for it myself. Youc an read her take on it here Origenes in Sassygirls TR

This is a few blocks off of 5th though (Calle 38 y Flamingos, Playa del Carmen 77720, Mexico)

ComoComo on 5th just north of 38th .. Classey place with excellent food.
Reservations are usually recommended but we got lucky in April and walked right in. Looked to have an a/c area deeper in the building.
If your walking up from the south you can stop at the club of cervasa in the block before 38th to prepare for supper.

DaGiGi is presently named G5G as the current owners are in a dispute with the orginal owner. Original owner opened his own restaurant at the corner of AV. 10 and calle 20 called DaGigi but the name has, at this time, has been removed from the restaurant.

We really enjoy the atmosphere at Casa Mediterrania, tucked away in a little open area on 5th.
Very good food.

Glass Bar should be in consideration. My only reservation with recommending this place is that is has been inconsistent through the years. However, when it's on - it's on albeit never cheap.

Yes, Origenes is VERY romantic and the food was some of the best we've had in Playa. It's located at 38th & 5th. It's in a nice quiet area. The restaurant is open-air, softly lit and they have wonderful, soft acoustic musicians every evening. Expect to pay in the area of $75 - $100 total for 2 including appetizer, entree, dessert and a drink or two.
