Patch Picks: Valentine's Day Romantic Restaurants

●
You may not be able to whisk your sweetheart away for a romantic ski weekend, but you can enjoy a dinner for two at the ski resort-themed Aspen Restaurant. Soft lighting sets the mood for you and your loved one to snuggle together on one side of a booth, or stay cozy by a table near the fireplace. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere ideal.

Looking to light a fire in your relationship? Find the flames at Shogun Japanese Steak House. A three-part facility, you can enjoy traditional Chinese fare, feed each other sushi at the sushi bar, or ignite your passions while watching your Teppanyaki chef perform culinary hibachi feats with steak, chicken and seafood.

● Ristorante Piccirilli
That's Amore! Italy is home to the language, culture and cuisine of love, so what better way to celebrate the heartthrob holiday of the year than by feasting on the pasta specialities of Ristorante Piccirilli? If Lady and the Tramp can make eating pasta romantic, just think about what Rollata di Pasta (a house speciality) can do for you and your noncanine love.

● Tin Fish
A venue for land lovers, sea lovers and lovers in general, Tin Fish provides a swank and sophisticated atmosphere reminiscent of an upscale New York or Chicago club. The martini menu is extensive and the entrees appeal to seafood fans as well as meat lovers. A Valentine's Day spent at Tin Fish is not your grandmother's night out.

● Dave and Buster's
Nothing screams love, or truly awesome coordination, like a giant stuffed animal. But rather than buying an oversized panda bear, why not kick the romance up a notch and win that giant panda. At Dave and Buster's, you and your Valentine can first thrill your palates at the full bar and restaurant, and afterward enjoy the arcade games for which DB's is known. And if you win enough tickets playing the games, you can get that giant stuffed panda.
