Everyone knows that the quickest way to someone’s heart is through their stomach. Here are some food and drink options to share with the ones you love.

Koyote

Take your love to the newest Japanese restaurant in the Marmalade district, where slurping your ramen is encouraged. They don’t accept reservations at the moment, so get there early.

Spice Kitchen Incubator

The chefs at Delicius and Prime Corn from the Spice Kitchen Incubator are hosting a pre-fixe Valentine’s Dinner. The cost is $130 for a couple or $220 for a group of four.

Sucia Brunch

Celebrate V-Day early at Acme Bar Co. on Saturday, Feb. 10 from 11 a.m.- 4 p.m. (21+ only). There will be micheladas, mimosas, tacos, and tater “thots.” Plus, burlesque performances and music.

Valentine Bundle

Tomodachi Bakeshoppe and Suncrest Flowers have a Valentine Bundle that includes a bouquet of flowers and a box of pastries. Pre-order before they sell out!

Wine Down

Head to TF Brewing for beer, corndogs, natural wine, music, and permanent jewelry.

Monkeywrench

Are you an ice cream all year kind of person? Don’t miss the seasonal flavors at Monkeywrench: Pillow Talk with strawberry ice cream and chocolate-covered marshmallows, and Dead to Me with rich chocolate ice cream and strawberry ripple. They also have a strawberry cookie kiss milkshake and heart-shaped sugar cookies.

Pie Party

Pre-order treats from Pie Party for Valentine’s Day or pick some up this Saturday, Feb. 10 at the Winter Farmers Market. I’ve got my eyes on the chocolate blood orange cream pie.
