Reserve Valentine’s Day Tables Now At Puget Sound's Top Restaurants

SEATTLE — If you’re planning to celebrate Valentine’s Day with dinner out at one of Western Washington's best local restaurants, don’t wait until the last minute to make a reservation.

Feb. 14 falls on a Tuesday this year, and that means Puget Sound restaurants could be busy the weekend of Feb. 9-11, or even the weekend after, a three-day weekend for many people with Presidents Day observance on Feb. 20.

Many, but not all, local restaurants handle reservations through OpenTable, an online service that warns more than half of the most romantic restaurants in America are typically booked up by Feb. 7.

Here are a few accepting Valentine’s Day reservations, according to Open Table:

• Terra Plata - Seattle (Farm-to-table)
• Palisade - Seattle (Seafood)
• Water Grill - Bellevue (Seafood)
• Bis on Main - Bellevue (Northwest)
• Ristorante Paradiso - Kirkland (Italian)
• Sparrow - Kirkland (Contemporary American)
• Matts' Rotisserie & Oyster Lounge - Redmond (American)
