Whether your idea of romance is a dozen roses, champagne, and chocolates, or your spouse emptying the dishwasher without being asked I think we can all agree that not having to cook an entire meal for the family, but instead being served a mouthwatering dish at a classy restaurant sans kids is totally romantic!  When was the last time you put on something fancy? Not comfortable dining out? No worries, these awesome local restaurants offer curbside pickup/takeout.  So what are you waiting for? Order up dinner for tonight, grab pizza for the kids and put on a movie for them in the other room, put on some Marvin Gaye and see where the night takes ya.

FYI- these also make great Valentine’s Day Date Night Destinations 😉 

Here are some addition fun at-home date night ideas! 

Always call ahead to confirm hours, due to COVID hours of operations may fluctuate, and be sure to make a reservation if dining in.

©️ Mancy’s Steakhouse

 

Mancy’s Steakhouse

Their steaks are aged and hand-cut on premise, seared at 1500 degrees and expertly prepared. They pair beautifully with our famous one-pound baked potatoes, French onion soup, chilled jumbo shrimp cocktail, or fresh asparagus with house-made hollandaise. Add your choice of more than 300 wines or 20 craft beers for a meal truly worth slowing down for.

Step into Mancy’s Steakhouse and the world slows down to meet you. Some say it’s the carved wood, brass, and stained glass—reclaimed from a time when craftsmanship was king. But most say it’s the steaks and chops—aged for 28 days using the same time-honored techniques our grandfather taught us. Source: https://mancys.com/steakhouse/
