Can you believe it is February! Well, I can’t, but it’s real, it’s here. So, of course, the first thing you think of when you think of February is Valentine’s Day. If you are like me, you are always wondering what you are going to do. Look no further. I have created a list of some restaurants that are creating special menus for Valentine’s Day weekend. Some of them have a regular menu, and other restaurants in Denver have Valentine’s Day Menu Packages.
Go through the list and find what looks delicious to you. All of these restaurants are perfect for a date night, and if you don’t have a date, grab a friend and take advantage of these Valentine’s Day package specials and make it a Galentine’s date.
American Elm
Dates: February 12th-14th
Package: $149 for two
4-course dinner paired with a cocktail.
Website: American Elm
Mari’s Scoop: The restaurant is in the Highlands neighborhood. I grew up in this neighborhood, so I have a soft spot for our local restaurants. American Elm has outdoor seating as well as greenhouses, and of course, they have indoor dining. Reserve your table early to try and get your preferred spot. I looked at the menu; they had me at beef carpaccio, surf & turf…and flourless whiskey cake. Need I say more? Nope. The menu is perfection.
Romance Under the Sea at The Aquarium
Dates: February 12th-14th
Package: $130 per couple
Each package includes a 4-course meal. Every package consists of 2 glasses of champagne and 2 exhibit passes.
Mari’s Scoop:
The ambiance is very romantic and laid back at the same time. I scanned the menu, and honestly, this is a great menu. You are getting a bang for your buck. Anywhere else, you would be paying a lot more. It’s definitely worth going if you have not been to The Aquarium.
Root’s

Mari’s Scoop: This restaurant is one of the top of my list. This restaurant will deliver. 100%. Not only does the menu look amazing, but you can dine in an igloo. Imagine having a starlit dinner with that special someone. You can have that kind of night at the Roots! I have included their menu options as well as their unique cocktails for the weekend. Also, they will have a special to-go kit that includes Prosecco and chocolate-covered strawberries.
