Your Valentine's Day dinner menu


Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to slow down and make dinner feel a little more special -- no reservations required. I’ve mapped out a full 💕 Valentine’s Day dinner for you, from a main dish to dessert, plus a few extra ideas. I also sprinkled in some of my favorite ambiance touches because sometimes it’s the little details that make the night feel extra special!

The Main Dish That Feels Restaurant-Level

My broiled lobster tail is rich, buttery, and so easy to make. It’s the perfect way to feel a little fancy at home for Valentine’s Day. You'll feel like you're dining out without leaving your kitchen!

Want to go all out? Try my lobster thermidor instead.

My Favorite Little Touches That Instantly Set the Mood

  • Flameless Candles - All the cozy glow, don't worry about turning them off!
  • Dry Farm Wines - My favorite clean-ingredient wine. It pairs perfectly with appetizers or a midnight toast, and they have pretty much every varietal.
  • Heart-Shaped Cocotte - Just the right size for cooking dinner for two.
  • Dessert Tier - A pretty way to display Valentine's Day desserts. It's perfect for those chocolate bites I mentioned!
  • Wine Cooler - Chill your bottle and let it sit pretty on the table -- to stick your natural wine in. 😉

A Special, Low Effort Dessert

My chocolate pomegranate dessert (new from just a couple months ago, if you haven't seen it yet!) has creamy chocolate mousse layered with sweet-tart pomegranate seeds and crunchy pistachios. Plus, these little portions are perfect for sharing with your date!
