VALENTINE’S DAY JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE

Tuesday, February 14 | Various Times & Locations

From red velvet pancakes enjoyed alongside the Flying Biscuit Cafe’s famous “lovecake” appetizer, to a romantic Italian meal of lobster cannelloni and braised short ribs at Cibo e Beve, there’s hardly a restaurant in town not offering a special Valentine’s Day dinner event. We also recommend checking out Table & Main, Watershed on Peachtree, Osteria Mattone, and the Stupid Cupid celebration at The Original El Taco.
