What's the Best Restaurant for Valentine's Day?

With all the local high-end restaurants, we'd like to know which one you think tops the rest for Valentine's Day.

On Valentine's Day, is there really a more important event than the romantic dinner with your signifigant other?

Sitting at a table for two with lit candles over a good meal at an excellent restaurant is the perfect setting for the holiday that celebrates your love for one another. But what restaurant will get your Valentine's Day reservations? What do you look for when choosing a restaurant for Valentine's Day?

Let us know in the comments.

Garden Grill

INSIGNIA is overpriced and not worth it. Garden Grill has the worst food ever, service is poor. Years ago it was THE place, but lately have been disappointed.
Outback is pretty decent, but we don't have a place where people come from other towns.

I tried to make a reservation at Insignia for Valentines Day, they have been sold out for a week. They may be overpriced but they parking lot is always packed, kinda makes you wonder if the economy is as bad as it seems. Butera's is a nice restaurant but they have been heavy on the garlic lately. Hotoke and Pace's are a little loud and hard to have an intimate dining experience.

I would suggest The Fifth Season in Port Jeff.
The food is amazing, well prepared, well served and well devoured. We were there one new years eve (when you don't really expect great food), but it was fantastic. We have been there several times now and it never disappoints.

Thanks for this tip, good to know! Know of any good seafood restaurants?

Bill, Garden Grill is one of the BEST. Outback? Not in the same ballpark, not in the same league, not even the same sport! We're talking Valentine's Day, not a place to chow down and watch the game.

Garden Grill, hands down. (No competition since Smithtown Haus closed its doors.)

You are absolutely right pj. Its comparing apples to oranges. Assisted living is for the elderlyRead More that cant take care of themselves. What noise is created. They are indoors and at the age where driving may not be an option. And the facility faces Route 25A. A main corridor that has been used as a main road for over 50 years. A road that has gas stations,bars, hospitals, nursing homes, retail stores and high schools presently on it. Why not an assisted living.

Exactly. Don't see a problem having it. Many of them don't even go outdoors.

We have an assisted living center right next to our neighborhood. For the most part it is quiet,Read More there is not a lot more traffic, it even looks nice. I will take it over another strip mall, supermarket, bar any day . Like the previous poster wrote, it serves our community.

how is this allowed!!! I thought sex offenders were not allowed to live or be within a certainRead More amount of feet from a school or park or playground???? This "person" is young also, born in 1990 so he might blend in by the high school. he raped an 11 year old girl and only got 2 years in prison.

I don't think the town has a say in it. That is the good old MTA.
