Thanks to the vibrant restaurant scene here in the Greater Richmond area, there are plenty of choices for a romantic evening out. Whether you’re looking for casual dining, upscale elegance, or will be happy with any place that doesn’t require you to cook or clean up your kid’s spilled milk, there’s no shortage of fine food and fun ambiance in Richmond and the surrounding counties. However, as we all know, Valentine’s Day is sneaking up fast and that means that restaurants will start booking up soon. That means it’s time to sort your Valentine’s Day dining options out…today!
If you’ve already made your Valentine’s Day dining plans at a local favorite, then we applaud your pro-activity! But there are still a number of us out here who have started getting a little worried that we might not be able to find place that still has spots open for “the big day.” And with Valentine’s Day falling on a Friday this year, we can expect many of our favorite places to fill up even more quickly than usual.
But don’t worry. If you’re still looking for a special Valentine’s Day dining establishment, we’ve done the hard work for you. We found a number of Richmond top-rated restaurants that are not only offering specials for Valentine’s Day dining, but still have spots available. We will warn you though, things are moving fast, so be sure to check out our list and make your reservations today!
Of course, if it’s more than just a dinner you’re looking for, be sure to check out the following:
