Restaurants near Valentine-French House

Swordfish was cooked perfectly, burrata and pear salad was delicious… ending with a flavorful pecan pie crème brûlée was perfect.

Great meal and a fabulous wine selection. The wine is climate controlled, so you always get it at the right temperature.

We visited the Black Whale on Valentine’s Day. We had a reservation for 6:30 and were seated at 7:00. The place was mobbed so we anticipated a delay. Once we were seated, we were given 2 glasses of champagne for the delay which was totally unexpected. It was a very nice gesture. Our server Amy was exceptional. She was so pleasant and professional. All the staff were top notch and pleasant. We started with the boom boom shrimp which were delicious with a nice kick. I had the steak frites and it was perfection. It’s always an exceptional cut and cooked just the way I like it. My husband ordered the lobster thermidor which he said was delicious. If you’re up for a delicious dinner with exceptional service, this is the place.

Second time to The Aviary. This time it was for Valentine’s Day. Had a great dinner. My wife had the chicken Marsala and I had the gnocchi. Both were very delicious. Staff and waitress were great. We will certainly be back.

We were the only people in there. We went on Valentine's Day at 2:30 in the afternoon, which was perfect. We had our choice of seating. The staff were very kind and accommodated. There was a special menu this night that we were unaware of because we go there for one thing, and it's the cod with passion fruit cream sauce. Which was not on the menu, but the chef was able to make it for us anyway. Which was awesome bc it was kind of a disappointment to see such a small variety of meals to choose from. I wanted a salad, but they didn't have any on the menu for that night, which was fine. I ended up getting the chicken Mozambique. Which was hit and delicious. The only complaint I had was that the chicken was steaming hot, but the rice was cold. I took a couple of bites and left it. Our overall time there was great. We have been here before with zero complaints, and that is why I still gave the 5 start rating. We will be coming back as always.
