Romantic Seattle Restaurant's for a Perfect Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day has a habit of sneaking up on us and this year is no different. Whether you and the love of your life celebrate this lover's holiday with gifts or simply spending the day together, treat each other to a romantic dinner with just the two of you.

If yours is not a culinary gift, the beautiful city of Seattle offers many wonderful restaurants. To show your sweetheart just how much you care, reserve a quiet table for two at one of these:

The Melting Pot - Treat each other to tantalizing morsels of cheese-dipped vegetables and breads, a mouth-watering assortment of meats and delectable chocolate desserts - fondue style. Creating your own meals in a fun and interactive way together gives dinner time a seductive and playful quality. Be prepared for a lengthy experience as you enjoy a three-course Valentine's Day meal. Starting with a cheese fondue appetizer, feed each other crispy cheese soaked veggies and soft, savory breads. Enjoy a variety of meats for your main course, cooked just the way you like it! For dessert, emerge sweet strawberries, tangy pineapple and other assorted sweets into a pot of pure milk, dark or white chocolate heaven. As an added treat, impress your date with a single red rose at your table when you arrive (ask for it when you make your reservation by calling 206.378.1208). Located at 14 Mercer Street at the base of the Queen Anne hill, take a stroll after dinner around the quaint neighborhood or catch a movie at the Uptown theater down the street.

Salty's on Alki - The Seattle skyline is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the country and you and your darling can feast your eyes on the view across Elliott Bay while feasting on some of Seattle's most delicious seafood cuisine. The ambiance of Salty's on Alki is subdued, yet fun and the service is impeccable. The Northwest seafood is superb and Salty's has been awarded several accolades by its diners year after year: Best Waterfront Restaurant, Most Romantic Restaurant, Best Fine Dining. Salty's is practically infused with class and style, though no dress code is required. Valet parking is available at 1936 Harbor Avenue SW on Alki. Afterward, take your lover's hand for a luxurious stroll on the beach. Call 206.937.1600 to make your reservations.

Al Boccalino's - You can't get more romantic than this little-known Seattle gem. There is no table at this restaurant that doesn't provide an intimate sweet spot for you and your sweetheart. For the adventurous soul, forgo the menu and let the incredibly knowledgeable and authentically Italian waitstaff cater to your personal preferences. They will even recommend a wine to perfectly complement your meal. Nestled between the sound and Pioneer Square in downtown Seattle at 1 Yesler Way, the location offers a quiet, romantic setting. After dinner, take your Valentine for a leisurely walk along the waterfront, dance the night away in one of the nightclubs, or tour the beauty of old town Seattle, all within walking distance. As an added benefit, Al Boccolino's even offers room service for the Best Western Hotel in Pioneer Square. This will definitely become one of your favorite Seattle restaurants. Call early to make a reservation at 206.462.3309.

Whichever you prefer, fun feasting on fondue at the Melting Pot, succulent Northwest seafood at Salty's or incredible Italian cuisine in the heart of downtown at Al Boccalino's, your Valentine's Day is sure to be filled with magical and enchanting memories for you and that special someone.
