| Suggestions for Valentine's Day
Where is a good place for dinner that's not overly priced? I've been looking online at different restaurants and menus, but all they provide is the menu but no price with it.
Stupid restaurants just want me to book it and eat there and surprise me with a huge bill at the end of the dinner.

Seasons in the Park. It isn't as expensive as other places plus the view is amazing.

Food was beyond excellent. I've never had such wonderful piece of steak, ever. It just melts in my mouth. I take back wut I said & admit that I was talking out from my ass.

View is dope there is no argueing that but the food is avg at best imo.
My suggestion is Diva At The Met or Connor Butler although they are on the "pricier" side if you will.

which would you guys recommend between lumiere and joe fortes? i know there's a huge discrepancy in the prices, but everything on the fortes menu looks good to me; whereas some things on the lumiere menu i would rather pass on, even though they give you options. i haven't been to lumiere since they changed chefs either and i've heard the quality has gone down since. so basically, with that in mind, would you guys still say lumiere is worth the extra price tag?
