Restaurants are already booked for Valentine's Day (that Sat night)

That's why we just cook a couple of nice steaks at home on Valentine's Day and then go out to dinner a week or so later. The people that go out to eat once a year fill up restaurants and the places are too packed. I'm not 90, I'm not eating dinner at 5:30 pm

Go on Monday and you will have no problem

I think I'm gonna do this.

I never eat out on Valentines day. Normally cook something that the wife really likes and stay home.

Ugh. My husband and some of his high school/college friends are planning a dinner out, and they settled on Valentine's Day weekend. I told him that was an insane time to want to have dinner out, much less with a group (albeit small group, probably 8 people).

I guess I have to accept the fact that we'll be there forever and ever, amen.

This mean our annual double date Valentines dinner at Andrea's is off?

Is she obligating you to take her out?

Do you feel pressure to impress her by participating in amateur night?

Those in the know will either cook dinner at home (women love this btw), or simply choose another date. Not sure if I'd want to be with someone who would be butt hurt by not going out on Valentine's Eve. If your relationship relies on Hallmark cards, prayers sent.

In a nutshell, pick another day.

find a brunch on sunday.

Worst day of the year to go out to eat (that and New Year's Eve).

Mother's Day is the one I think would be the worst for most restaurants.

Yeah, I won't be out that Saturday night for sure thought.

At least you're trying fairly early. I always had people who would book after dinner on Valentine's Day for the next year, same time, same table. Then you get the one dumbass who calls the day before and says "I'd like a reservation for tomorrow at 7pm"...oh u mean Valentine's Day, that we've been overbooked for weeks. Sure let me find you a seat on the toilet in the bathroom.
