A great date isn't defined by location or activity
I would lean toward something simple for the first date. I don't want a movie, or somewhere noisy, I want to be friends first. I want honesty and compassion. I don't want to be woo'd off my feet. I want friendship and respect. Anyone who is willing to sit and talk with me over a glass of tea etc is perfect. I also want him to get to know my parents before we date. I know that is very old fashioned but I respect my parents opinion highly and they play a big roll in my life. I don't want to be alienated from them at some future date.
