The one day of the year where there romance has to be on a THOUSAND is amongst us. Some folks like the theatrics and drama of it all. Me…I prefer to keep it cute and simple. Around this time, thinking of where to eat on Valentine’s Day in Tampa makes us all run around like a headless chicken. Netflix and chill is the quick and easy go-to sometimes but several restaurants set up plenty of romantic dinner plans.

Figuring out where to eat on Valentine’s Day in Tampa Bay won’t prove to be difficult. I created a dining guide for Creative Loafing to help you make plans. Whether it’s with your SO, girlfriends, or yourself, there are plans for anyone and everyone.
