    Aba: Valentine's To-Go

    Of course you can also dine in at this epicenter of Mediterranean culinary brilliance and they'll treat you right and feed you even better. But if you're the romantic sort who'd prefer to take the tastiest noms back to your own, um, cozy lovenest? Then you'll especially like Aba's portable Valentine's Dinner for Two (lobster bisque, smoky garlic hummus, ahi tuna, brussels sprouts, beef tenderloin, double chocolate cake, and a bottle of Giuliana Prosecco) or their Galentine's version of that deliciousness. Note: These meals are available for pick-up February 11-14, noon-6pm. All orders must be placed by 3pm the day before your desired pick-up date.
    $52.95-128.95.

    Canje

    Is there anything more romantic than the Caribbean? That's a rhetorical question, perhaps, but you can happily grok the answer at Tavel Bristol-Joseph's award-winning restaurant, where a six-course shared menu of island-inflected flavors includes a take-home dessert. Serving suggestion: Maybe duck into the kissing booth while you're there, you lovesick loons, and make with a little PDA?
