Hi Mamas!
My wonderful hubby is a true romantic at heart and always makes Valentine's Day very memorable. Part of the package is a special dinner out and we try to find a new little dining treasure every year. This year, I'm stumped. If you have any great suggestions, please send them on. We try to stay local (Birmingham, Royal Oak, Troy, Bloomfield Hills and Rochester are convenient for us,) and I adore great ambiance. Give me a warm, cozy table by a fireplace and I'm in heaven! Since Valentine's Day is on a Saturday this year, we'll have to make reservations ASAP. I'd love to hear your recommendations. Thanks!
I was also going to suggest the Melting Pot. I was just there and saw some kind of special Valentine's thing. It is more just a fun experience.
Mon Jin Lau is great for romantic ambience if you like asian food.
Lelli"s on Opdyke road...a tad expensive
Melting Pot
The Emory in Ferndale is offering a Valentine's Day dinner package, with dessert provided by Pinwheel Bakery. The cost is $75 for a couple and you must reserve by February 12. Good luck and Happy V-Day! or....Via Nove in Ferndale, also very sweet and romantic. Amazing food!!

Jeremy Restaurant and Bar on Cass Lake Road in Keego Harbor is absolutely beautiful. The menu is fabulous, although a bit pricey. We went there for my 50th birthday. Phone number is ###-###-####. It's located not far off of Orchard Lake Road. Enjoy.

Hi L. this isnt a restaurant and it isnt local but it is a nice night cap. Its called the Oasis Hot Tub Gardens in Ann Arbor. Check out the website, you'll have to google it because I dont know it by heart.
Hi L., we went to Big Rock in Birmingham a few times on VDay and if you ask for the cozy room in the back it's wonderful. They have only tables of 2 set up and the ambiance is fabulous and very romantic.
I am sure I am not the first to recommend Cafe Cortina on 10 Mile between Middlebelt and Orchard Lake Rd. Great Italian food! And fabulous ambiance! Request a table by the fireplace!

Assaggi in Ferndale is a WONDERFUL restaurant! It's eclectic, positive energy/karma, and an upscale European Bistro atmosphere while being totally American. My husband and I (DINKs for MANY years) have been to them all (from The Lark and everything else), and if he asks me where to go this is my #1 pick. (#2 pick is Tribute in Farmington Hills.)
What about Cafe Cortina. It's always voted one of the most romantic places. Think its farmington hills on 10 mile?
Don't know if you have already been to the Melting Pot in Troy but it is very romantic.
