Top Cut
If there’s one opportunity to truly splurge, Valentine’s Day dinner is it. Go big with the Fruits de Mer, from the raw bar, which consists of a whole lobster, six oysters, four shrimp cocktail and 4 oz. crab cocktail. Tonight’s not the night to be frugal. Plus, the view from the floor to ceiling windows is sure to impress any date.

Melt
For the Valentine’s enthusiasts, Melt is a great place to completely indulge in the magic of the day of love. Dress up and eat well. Then go home dress down, and finish up what were supposed to be your “leftovers.”

Blue Grillhouse
Haven’t you heard? The official new color of V-Day is Blue. Dijon Crusted Chilean Sea Bass is the new heart candy, and their Hula Pie beats out the box of chocolates. Blue, the official Valentine’s spot.
The Broadway Social
Ever pair two unlikely foods together and get something inexplicably great? That’s The Broadway Social on Valentine’s Day—defying the quintessential idea of a Valentine’s Day date destination. Fresh food with the best ingredients, and steps away from the bar, Broadway Social leaves little to be desired.
