Valentine’s. A necessary evil. But for now, let’s focus less on the evil and more on the necessary: reservations. You have one month to make them. Herewith, a list to making the whole process worry-free.
Dinner by candlelight: good. Dinner by firelight: better. So you’ll want to ask for this table—it’s
the closest booth to the fireplace. Just don’t use the pokers to cut your short ribs.
Why it’s right: Every good date includes a little pyrotechnics.
This spot’s parked next to the house’s grand piano—which, not too long ago, Jamie Foxx used to treat
the restaurant to a little “Georgia on My Mind.” Why, yes, this was during his Ray
period.
Why it’s right: Your mashup of “Chopsticks” and “Tiny Dancer” never fails to move
dates to tears.
Most nights, this table’s reserved for parties of eight. As you know, Valentine’s isn’t most nights.
So it’ll be broken into four smaller tables and positioned next to the chef’s station, meaning the chef
is essentially your host.
Why it’s right: Because it never hurts to have an Iron Chef as a wingman. Especially when
lobster shooters are involved.
You’ve long said that the perfect V-Day dinner requires just a few things: candlelight, tequila and a
taxidermied grizzly bear. At this Mexican steakhouse, Table 68 encompasses all of the above. And the
Filete Durango steak stuffed with cheese doesn’t hurt either.
Why it’s right: Nothing says brave hunter (and gatherer) like eating steak in front of a
six-foot grizzly.
Here you’ll take an elevator up and step out into a glass ball of a room that rotates clockwise. This
table has the best view of downtown—which you should probably give to your date.
Why it’s right: We hear this is where Tony Romo popped the question to Candice
Crawford—just don’t tell your date that while reaching into your coat pocket.
