Guide to Valentine’s Day Dinners

Love is in the air… and so is the scent of a mighty tasty filet.

They say Valentine’s Day is a girls’ holiday, but we’re pretty sure the fellas don’t mind a night on the town with their lovely ladies and the best cut of beef on a Thursday night.

You won’t have any problem finding somewhere romantic to dine for Valentine’s Day this year. From a chocolate bar and historic properties to a movie theatre and downtown classic picks, here’s the official roundup of Valentines Day Dinners:
