Last-Minute Valentine's Day Favorites
It's Valentine's Day, and if you haven't put in a reservation at your favorite restaurant yet, chances are you're out of luck. But good news: There are a few spots around town offering their special Valentine's Day menus for an extra day. Three options: - Table 128: Three entree options highlight Table 128's three-course chef's menu. They range from the more exotic (charred octopus) to a classic favorite (pan-roasted chicken breast) to the oh-so-sweet (passion fruit). Pricing is $48 per person; $67 with wine pairings.
- Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar: Pair petite filet mignon with lobster tail scampi ($90), crab-stuffed colossal shrimp scampi ($80), or twin pistachio-crusted lamb chops ($75). Or opt for the prime surf and turf for two ($200), which includes a 35-ounce tomahawk steak, lobster tail and more.
- Vino 209 Wine Bar and Bistro: $40 per person gets you a three-course menu with soup or salad, an entree (steak roulade, roasted salmon or ravioli cacio e pepe) and dessert. Wine
pairings are priced additionally.
