I've never thought putting a ring in food was a good idea... If you ask me, I would also avoid giving her the ring in the restaurant altogether. It is a public place and it will end up stifling any emotional response (this is a good thing, however, if she is going to say no...).
I would take her out for a nice dinner. Something different from the norm (unless you get dressed up to go out for dinner often). Wear nice clothes, etc. If the weather is going to be nice, take her for a walk after dinner. Choose to eat near somewhere where you can actually take her for a nice walk.
I would propose while on the walk.
If the walk is out of the question, then wait until you get her home. If you can get a friend to help you... have them set up your place while you are out. Lots of candles, some nice music cued up, a bottle Champagne chilling on ice, etc.
Maybe you have a nice dessert cooling in the fridge or warming in the oven...
Make sure the house is clean and there are fresh sheets on the bed... this will be important later.
Trust me on this. It will work and it will work well.
