Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to treat your favorite person to incredible food, a touch of indulgence and maybe a cocktail (or a few).
North Texas is full of culinary treasures — from Michelin-level dining to James Beard-recognized favorites — that are sure to impress. These are the spots your date will love you for discovering.
But here’s the thing: reservations are limited and going fast. Wait too long, and you might be left with takeout and regrets.
