Greg's Hot List: Romantic spots for Valentine's Day

Bookmark and Share

Got those reservations for Valentine's Day dinner yet? Kind of sneaks up on you, doesn't it? Better get a move on, because Valentine's Day is one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants, and tables begin filling up as much as a month in advance at the most popular spots. Here are a dozen options -- a culinary bouquet, if you will -- that your sweetie is sure to love. I'll have more romantic dining options next week.
