Want to abscond to Bainbridge Island for a romantic getaway? Sibling chefs Trinh and Thai Nguyen will prepare a Valentine’s Day meal inspired by their recent trip to the vibrant coastal city Hoi An, as well as an intensive pastry program Trinh took in Paris last year. The room will be illuminated with Hoi An’s signature colorful lanterns as guests tuck into dishes like fried quail eggs with caviar, frilly flower-shaped dumplings, wagyu cao lầu (fried dough strips with wagyu beef), and matcha yuzu eclairs.

Valentine’s Day can often be rife with pressure, which is a recipe for inevitable disappointment. If you’re looking for a more laidback (but nonetheless enchanting) celebration that doesn’t require reservations, Coyle’s has you covered: On February 14, they’ll reopen in the evening from 5-8 pm for their annual Valentine’s Dessert Night, which will include some of their fanciest treats, such as macarons, chocolate eclairs, Paris-Brests, and their coveted coconut caramel chiffon cake, as well as beverages and sparkling wine. Linger in the dining room or take your baked goods home for Netflix and chill.

Whether you’ve recently had your heart stomped on or just despise the ceaseless commercialization of love, Greenwood’s moody bar Dark Room is here to provide a safe space for all V-Day haters with their Anti-Valentine’s Day Party, an “evening of horror, crime, food, and cocktails” from 5-10 pm on Monday, February 12. They’ll screen the decidedly un-mushy flicks Valentine, Promising Young Woman, and Heathers while serving gussied-up versions of the single person’s food of choice—frozen dinners—including kimchi bacon mac and cheese, French bread pizza, chicken pot hand pies, Salisbury steak, and brownie sundaes with miso caramel and cherry coulis. Cheeky cocktails range from the “Saltburn” (La Favorite Rhum, yuzu dry curaçao, sweetheart candy syrup, citrus, and absinthe) to the “Jennifer’s Body” (Diega gin, strawberry-infused Suze, Nonino, vermouth, and chocolate bitters).

Looking to splurge on a swanky dinner?

The dessert—a chocolate cake with dried cherries, amaretto ice cream, stout caramel, and coconut meringues—sounds especially divine.

Too many Valentine’s Day menus are overwrought and fussy, leaning too heavily on cloying clichés. Not so with L’Oursin’s three-course prix-fixe “La Saint Valentin” dinner—the charming French bistro presents bright, refreshing, romantic options like a blush-pink chicory and chèvre salad, dry-aged salmon crudo, seared scallops with tarragon velouté, ravioli featuring the appealingly named “winter luxury squash,” passionfruit tarts, and chocolate crèmeux, as well as optional supplements (like foie gras and oysters) and wine pairings.
