Are a lot of restaurants doing that this year?
Miss Shirley's is a nice place, but somehow it doesn't seem fancy enough to be asking for a credit card. However, the announcement did say call right away for reservations; the two locations were booked solid last year. ...
In other Valentine's Day restaurant news, the Charleston Group is treating Feb. 13 and 14 as Valentine's Weekend, with special menus being offered both Saturday and Sunday nights at the various restaurants (Petit Louis, Cinghiale, Pazo and Charleston).
I wonder if other restaurants are doing that, too. I would think more people would go out on Valentine's Eve (which is Saturday) this year than on the day itself, but maybe not.
In any case, this is serendipitous for both customers and the restaurants, spreading out the crowds over two nights.
