I have been watching the app/food space for many years. The idea you describe has been tried many times over.
It's one of those problems that everyone faces one evening, but the hassle of using an app is usually higher than actually having a 2-minute conversation about where to go.
That being said, you never know what will work, so don't give up just because of random Internet advice.
It looks like your app doesn't need to have network effects to be useful. That's a good thing. So you'd be fine with even 10 people using this every week. That would be a sign that your app is useful. Once you reach that stage, you can focus on scaling. But just even getting 10 couples to use this weekly is a tough challenge. Do you use it? Does any of your friends actually use it?
Looking at your website, if you are disappointed by the conversion rate, target a smaller niche first and see if the conversions increase. Right now it sounds like a generic "restaurant recommendation". The couples angle is not there. You go with more punchy headlines: "no more arguing Friday night about where to take your SO".
Bottom line: go from 0 to 10 users by sheer force of persuasion. Then come back here and we can chat some more :-)
