My fave meal (Beef Wellington) would not be good if an evening of 'pleasure' was envisaged. So, an alternative;
Starter should be simple... Just stuffed mushrooms and a small salad of rocket and spinach. Add a vinagerette dressing and if needed a Creme Fraiche (wrong spelling), honey and chilli mix as a dip (dip can also be used with main course)
Main: Simple again: Monkfish tails. Just in the oven; wrapped in foil. Add herbs of your choice, lemon, sliced mushrooms and butter and virgin olive oil. Just bake for xx (depends on size of tails ). Serve with veg and really good crusty bread.
Pud: I don't do puds - so will have to be cheese and fruit

I don't think you can beat a really good fish pie - food of the Gods! Especially when made with really good natural smoked haddock, ood, prawns and cream topped with creamy ,buttery mash. Ummmmmm! Accompanied with some really good white wine and finished with "Slut Raspberries" (Nigella Lawson) with really thick cream........
And then some cheese
....and coffee
......and brandy

SLUT RED RASPBERRIES IN CHARDONNAY JELLY
You might think that no recipe could live up to this title. It’s a reasonable presumption, but thank God, a wrong one. This is heaven on the plate: the wine-soused raspberries take on a stained glass, lucent red, their very raspberriness enhanced; the soft, translucently pale coral just-set jelly in which they sit has a heady, floral fragrance that could make a grateful eater weep.
