Roundup of local restaurants offering special Valentine’s Day menus
What’s new this year at local restaurants offering special Valentine’s Day menus is that diners can select outside — or inside — dining. Last year, restaurants had just resumed outdoor dining when the Regional Stay At Home order was lifted on January 25. This round up of options is listed in alphabetical order. Of note: quite a few are offering special menus on days before and after the actual Valentines Day.
