If it’s too late, the lounge offers a limited menu to walk-in guests.

2. Kaluz, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Waterfront dining and outdoor relaxation spaces make this a prime spot for a romantic evening. The restaurant features an extensive wine list that any sommelier would clamor over.

4. The Cellar Restaurant, Daytona Beach, FL

Don’t let the name mislead you—you won’t be dining in any basement. Formerly the home of Warren G Harding, this award-winning Italian restaurant offers cozy meals of both land and sea favorites, including fresh homemade pasta and a lengthy wine menu that will have you coming back again and again.

5. Beach Walk Cafe, Destin, FL

Tucked inside the Henderson Park Inn, Destin’s only fine dining restaurant is also the most romantic. If you want to go all out, you can reserve a private table right on the beach, complete with white tablecloth and the best views in the city. Or, you can grab a seat in their dining room that offers broad views of the Gulf. Either way, you’ll want to make reservations before you go.

6. Table 427, West Palm Beach, FL

Soothing acoustic guitar music and tasty continental temptations provide everything you need for a memorable Valentine’s Day meal. Their vibrant courtyard gives you the perfect alfresco dining experience, but their interior ambiance is just as lush. Take advantage of their full bar, creative Mexican fare, and the convenience of reserving your spot online.

7. Zen Bistro, Daytona, FL

Romance often calls for a step outside the ordinary, and there’s no better place to start than with the exotic flavors of Thai cuisine. The freshest Thai fare outside of Thailand, you and your date can experience new food sensations you may never have known existed.

8. Bleu Provence, Naples, FL

The classic French bistro combines the best wine with award-winning fare for an evening in the echoes of Paris. Synonymous with elegance, this eatery offers the best in service, food, and atmosphere in a single locale. If you want to beat the nighttime crowds, they’re hosting a special Valentine’s Day lunch that’s every bit as delicious as their dinner but perhaps a bit more low key.

9. Grill 66 & Bar, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Fine dining and Fort Lauderdale often go hand in hand, but you won’t find dining like this anywhere else in the city. Nestled against the Stranahan River, this beautiful white tablecloth restaurant offers waterfront views, mood lighting, a carefully curated wine menu, and the freshest flavors in seafood to set the right tone for your Valentine’s Day. It’s located just a few minutes’ drive from Beach Park and other points of interest to help you plan an unforgettable evening.

10. Johnnie’s Hideaway, Orlando, FL

Though primarily known for its family-friendly demeanor, Johnnie’s Hideaway shouldn’t be overlooked as a romantic destination, too. The ambiance and decor alone gives you plenty for conversation. The restaurant features several dining and gathering areas, both inside and outside, to create a unique dining experience no matter where you sit. Their award-winning wine list will leave your inner aficionado wanting for nothing.
