Post #1 - January 25th, 2013, 10:34 pmI generally don't do V-day dinner, but it may happen this year. My date may be playing in a band later in the eve, so we need something close to Logan Squ. Could be Bucktown, etc. I haven't been to any of the newer spots in the area, so if you all could reccommend something fun and romantic that would be fab. I really want to try Longman and Eagle but I see no reservations.. if we got there at 7 would we get a spot? Any other great places that DO take reservations? I was also thinking Scofflaw, but no res.. Yusho? We like casual, dark places with awesome food and good cocktails, but may be able to go for something more fine-diningish if it's not super expensive.
Thanks!

Post #3 - January 26th, 2013, 8:10 amOwen & Engine popped in my head when you decribed the places you like to eat. Certainly not a fancy Valentine's dinner, but the food always delivers and close enough to area you mentioned.

Post #5 - January 26th, 2013, 8:55 amDeleece on Southport, in Lakeview, is a terrific neighborhood bistro type place, with outstanding food and not terribly expensive. We go there for their holiday specials at least once a year. It's normally quite inexpensive, with entrees around twenty and even better deals for the holidays (typically $40ish for a three-course prix fixe) - but Valentine's Day is the one holiday where they go all out, with a special $100 menu Feb 14-16 that's way more than their usual. They will still be offering a pared-down version of their regular menu, so if you want a more moderate price tag, you can still do it.
