Valentine’s Day may not be until next month, but it’s always a good time to treat the love of your life to a romantic dinner. Whether you’re long-time lovers or just falling in love, you’ll fall head over heels for these romantic dining spots. When dining on a weekend night or holiday, it’s always a good idea to call ahead or make reservations ahead of time. Nothing dampers a romantic night out like having to wait for a table or getting turned away completely!
