Valentine's Day is always a mixed bag for a restaurant; couples early in their relationship, 30-year marriages, “Galentines,” and divorces are all clamoring for a night to reignite an old flame, blow your socks off, or drown sorrows.

Regardless of relationship status, I invite you to join us at Virginia's Darling, our wine bar inside Mae's Market, focusing on women-made wines and wines from women-owned estates. We offer a special prix fixe menu with three options, priced at $65 per person. We think there's something for everyone on the menus! Take a look:

Reservations are now available, but don't worry if you still need to make one. A few walk-ins will be allowed on a first-come, first-served basis, with bar seating only. So whether you prefer a romantic table for two or a cozy spot at the bar, Virginia's Darling has you covered.

So why not treat your special someone to a night they won't soon forget? With delicious food, fantastic wine, and a commitment to supporting women in the wine industry, Virginia's Darling is the perfect destination for a Valentine's Day dinner.

Cheers to an excellent Valentine's Day at Virginia's Darling! Book your reservation now or take your chances with a walk-in. I can't wait to see you there!
