Depends on what the girl likes. A restaurant is a good ending for a date, but should be preceded by something else.
Perhaps bowling? A bit of go-karting, or an amateur theather show? Something with a bit of activity, but no sweating; the girl will hate you if her preparations like make-up and hair get wasted while on your date. Or at least, before the very end. Going to a movie is more than a bit cliché, but a fairly solid if uninspiring option. A bit of window shopping might work for some girls, perhaps while travelling from where-ever you were to dinner.
The point is, try to find some activity that isn't physically strenuous and doesn't ruing the girls preparations, but that you both can enjoy and laugh and discuss over, followed by dinner (or if during the day, coffee/tea. At a bit more upscale place if possible).
the movies, picnics and such can come at later dates when you already know eachother a bit and aren't akward at eachothers compnay doing...basically nothing, except focusing on the other.
