It’s that time of year. Pink hearts, red roses and dark chocolate are on the minds of many as Valentine’s Day approaches. And while there are few things I actually like about Valentine’s Day—a day that can bring out the cynic in even me—the one thing I look forward to every Valentine’s Day is a great dinner courtesy of my loving husband. So if you are like me and long for a great meal at a local restaurant on Valentine’s day, check out these special Valentine’s Day offerings on the Hill.
