Who cares if they're rich. That doesn't mean you have to shell out megabucks for dinner. You'll learn in time that those who are wealthy didn't get that way by blowing money on frivolity (those who do are called "formerly wealthy" and/or "bankrupt").
You want a nice little romantic place, try Bistro le Cep, on Westheimer at Wilcrest (northwest corner). It is a nice French cafe setting where prices are "upper moderate" but it has a great atmosphere and terrific food.
Another romantic place (candlelight, the whole nine yards) and with Italian food is Carmelo's (on Memorial, west of Dairy Ashford). Wonderful food, great ambiance, wonderful service, also "upper moderate."
Of course there's always Vargos (on Fondren, two blocks north of Westheimer), which is a little pricier, but has very good food (Continental cuisine).
I hope someone was kiddnig about Cheddars... TGIFridays without the stripes. Ugh.
The Chacho's pick was a pretty good one. Inexpensive, but pretty darned good Mexican food, and very good margaritas. Not terribly romantic, and it is a bit loud.
EDIT: Another one popped into my head. Azzarelli's on Memorial. It is little, the food is great, and it is a nice atmosphere.
Here's one thing... my likes may not be yours. I'm 46, my wife is 33, and what we may think is romantic and nice could be considered bad to you. I'm guessing you're younger. Worst case, ask your date what she/he likes foodwise, and go from there.

Mia Bella downtown, great Italian Bistro. Great food, not too expensive, wonderful atmosphere. Bice in the Galleria, a little more pricey, and you must have reservations. Almeda's on I-10 at Voss Exit for exquisite Mexican food and a beautiful place. Carmelos, out west on Memorial is great and romantic. L'Tour de Argent on Ella near the Heights is romantic continental cuisine. Yao's, Gessner at Westheimer, is moderately priced but new, and the food is excellent---cooked to order.

You mean expensive?
I'd say Chacho's on Westheimer at Fountainview, great party atmosphere, and the local celebs all go there, great for a double date, and excellent margaritas!

Lets see...try the AQUARIUM @ downtown ....and ask for the patio at the roof........its awesome the view of the downtown from there specially if its on the night.
Or..........
I strongly suggest Cafe Iguana @ Austin Tx.....C'mon ! ! ! Its not that far from here and the view of the sunset at the patio is just unreal.......the place is beside Lake Travis,,,,kinda on the hills of Austin...........but if you got the time and the means...just go there......
