Recommendations for Valentines

Well, if you haven't made reservations at least two weeks ago, you probably aren't going to have many options for a fancy and/or romantic place. Think about making reservations for Valentines day next year at least one to two months prior to Valentines (and for some places, now).

I'll plan on reminding you for next year's Valentines day.

So, you're stuck with trying to find someplace quick-- a picnic is always nice if the weather permits. Or cook for your wife! Or, kennel the dogs, board the children, and run to San Antonio for a night on the River Walk. It's the River Walk experience, not the food that matters here! Besides, you already blew the option of going to Shore Line Grill or Jeffrey's. And if you can't get a hotel reservation, you can always drive back to Austin without a problem.

Outside chance-- try Hyde Park Bar & Grill . Granted, it's not big and 'hoity-toity', but it is good food, and next door is Dolce Vita Gelato & Espresso‎, a nice place for dessert where you can just sit outside and stare in your lover's eyes.

Have Fun!
