Glad you had a good time at Sons game. Just a 180 thought I have and if it doesn't work for you that's fine. If you used to give her options for restaurants change that. Make the choice yourself. Say I made reservations at x for this time. You will never control her thoughts and feelings on the restaurant you chose and it eliminates conflict over deciding.

This may bring up her saying you are forcing her to go to said restaurant and you can say. I find it hard to find anyplace that we can agree on, I thought I would save us the trouble of arguing over the place and chose. If you don't feel you will enjoy x then you don't have to join us.

The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
