You don’t have long until a potentially special someone starts expecting a potentially special dinner. And heart-shaped things. So to that end, we’ve unearthed the city’s five most Valentine’s Night–appropriate tables upon which to do your bidding. That heart-shaped silliness is still on you.
You Require: Pasta in a clandestine nook. Perhaps an oversize table.
You’ll Receive: A table long enough to seat six, but booked for you and your date only.
Perfect for assisting one another in the consumption of wild-boar pappardelle while a metal origami screen
provides privacy. It’s what metal origami does.
You Require: Secret, sexy rooms with just a whisper of Downton Abbey.
You’ll Receive: The fireside table in a hidden, red-walled room known as the Townhouse.
It’s filled with leopard-skin carpets and can only be accessed by following your host through an unmarked
door. So maybe don’t lose your host.
You Require: Strong nautical vibes and close proximity to a roaring fire.
You’ll Receive: A corner table in the yachty, second-story dining room with panoramic
views of Boston Harbor and panoramic views of your date being warmed by the glassed-in fireplace. Not a bad
view in the house.
You Require: A real sense of Colonial history. And would it kill you to get some floral
arrangements...
You’ll Receive: A corner two-top with floor-to-ceiling views of Concord’s antique shops
and churches. That’s been embellished with flickering candles and dried orchids. They’re really rooting
for you at Bondir.
You Require: Wine lists the length of a short story; being the center of attention.
You’ll Receive: The plush leather booth directly under the enormous, black,
Stargate-shaped arch that dominates the dining room. Maybe keep that Stargate reference to
yourself.
