On Valentine’s Day, what’s more romantic than a candlelight dinner for two, Chez Vous?
February 4th, 2009 by MaryCan you do without the hassle of attempting to get a reservation at a restaurant for Valentine’s Day, especially this year as it falls on a Saturday? Why not impress your true love with an intimate dinner for two Chez Vous? Our appropriately named Chef Rocco Valentino at Pastaria handcrafts a special menu each year for Valentine’s Day. You’ll get four fabulous courses (with a vegatarian option, even!) and a bottle of wine for a flat $100.
When you pick up your ready-to-impress meal on the 14th you can also collect some extra “trimmings” for the perfect at-home ambience: a bouquet of fragrant flowers for the table and rose petals for scattering at Market Blooms, a bottle of sparkling wine at Grapes of Mirth to set the mood and an assortment of truffles at Pure Imagination Chocolatier. We won’t tell if you ditch the carryout containers and take credit for your in-home feast.

Renee-
Alas, I do not have photos to share, that would have been a great idea! Maybe next year! Pre-ordering by today at noon is required so Chef Rocco knows how much of everything to make. You could call and ask if they can make special arrangements for you if you need it on the 13th!
