Valentine's Day isn't just a big day for the florists and the candy stores. It's also a big night for restaurants. And this year promises to be bigger than most because Valentine's Day falls on a Friday night. If you're planning a dinner with your sweetheart, you should make reservations at a romantic place soon. Over the years, I've picked out a few restaurants that seem like the most romantic places in town.
Atmosphere plays heavy in the decision, as does service.
If you don't have a favorite spot already picked out, here are half a dozen spots to consider. France, of course. And this wonderful restaurant on the bluff above Lake Michigan is the perfect place to enjoy authentic bistro food. The chicken in red wine is especially good. 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
