Valentine's Day dinner

There's no excuse for not getting your sweetie out to a Valentine's dinner, especially when Caffe Gelato is running their Valentine's dinner special starting Friday the 13th and running through Sunday the 15th, with seatings every two hours, starting at 1 p.m. and ending at 11 p.m. The lobster tail dinner includes a full bottle of Sterling Riesling, and a glass of Domaine Chandon Rosé Champagne for each person. It's $129 per couple, but if you want to sit in one of their romantic, curved booths, it's $149 per couple. (That $20 is totally worth it, those curved booths are fantastic.)

Valentines Day Dinner will be served starting at 5pm. Call for reservations.
