Restaurants near OPPD Arboretum

We celebrated Valentine’s Day a date late. We were seated right away when we arrived at our reservation time. We ordered a Chophouse salad and French Onion Soup. Both were delicious and large portions. The rolls they served first were warm and crusty on the outside, soft on the inside. Our waiter staff, Chelsea and Kayla were very attentive and took very good care of us. We tried the salmon and a ribeye steak with corn as our side. The steak was tender, flavorful and cooked to perfection. The salmon was cooked with tomato, capers and shrimp. The taste was delicious and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The corn had been cut off of the cob and was very fresh and the serving was enough for both of us. We actually had plenty of our entrees and the side to take home. We were seated next to a party of 4 who were very loud. Once they left we enjoyed a quieter setting. Overall, we had a wonderful experience!

The entire experience at Spezia was wonderful. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and made sure that everything we ordered was safe for me to consume with a gluten allergy. The atmosphere was quiet and romantic, a great place to celebrate Valentine's Day. We will definitely be returning for date nights in the future!

Always a delicious meal with great service. Today, was a special Valentine’s menu and it didn’t disappoint. We enjoyed the scallops and Wagyu Denver steak! Desserts were scrumptious (berry cheesecake and raspberry beignets with ice cream and caramel sauce). Love this restaurant. We were also pleasantly surprised to see Steven again as our server. He is very knowledgeable and friendly.

We dined on February 13, 2025 and had the Valentine's Dinner for two of a shared Chateaubriand steak and a lobster tail. The food was amazing as well as the Daou cabernet sauvignon. What was even better was the service by Sevita. She was friendly, professional, funny and attentive. We didn't lack for anything during our holiday meal. We are always amazed at what a wonderful dining experience we have each and every time. Thanks Sevita and Fleming's!
