Make haste: Valentine’s Day is coming up next week. So whether you’re planning a sweet night out for two, or don’t just want to hole up on the couch, we’ve rounded up an array of foodie options:
Editor’s note: These spots will fill up, so make those reservations ASAP.
Willa’s
Cozy in for a prix fixe spread at the beloved North Hyde Park spot. The neighborhood joint is serving its
classics like beef tartare, spicy rigatoni, and chicken schnitzel, and specials like duck tartine, and Cupid’s Kiss bevvies.
The team will also take care of flowers: Email or call to order an arrangement for $55.
Good Intentions
One of the Sunshine City’s fave vegan spots is putting on a prix fixe experience. The meal is Spanish tapas-themed, with dishes like 1900 Salad, hearts of palm ceviche, washed down with pitchers of sangria or Spanish wines.
They’ll also surprise your date with a locally-crafted bouquet from the folks at Small Things Flower Co. — place your order online.
Sal Y Mar
Yes, this a rooftop dining occasion. Views of Tampa’s skyline pair well with a three-course, prix fixe menu — and a free glass of bubbly.
What’s on the menu? The team is preparing delights like tuna tataki, lobster, fingerling potatoes, and Temptation Cake.
Highland House
Have you tried Dunedin’s newest restaurant? Head to the revamped — and decked out in velvet and wallpaper — Dunedin Golf Club eatery for a four-course meal featuring dishes like lobster mac and cheese and braised short rib.
Plus, there’s live music and lit candles for that necessary V-Day ambiance.
Juno & the Peacock
There’s just something about slurping back oysters with a view of the Vinoy and the downtown St. Pete waterfront.
The Beach Drive restaurant is serving a five-course dinner packed with items like Wagyu filets and caramelized chocolate tarts. End the night by picking out a bloom from the flower cart and some
blood orange bonbons for the road.
And if you want an even more indulgent spread, there’s also a three-hour, pre-dinner cocktail experience at the attached bar, Pluma.
