They went to the movies and had dinner in a restaurant. (not only – but also)

- Not only did they go to the movies but they also had dinner in a restaurant.
- Not only did they go to the movies but also had dinner in a restaurant.

Can they both be correct?

The first is the better of the two. The second which omits parts of the sentence which are then intended to be assumed sounds 'off'.
