Valentine's Day is less than one week away, and Patch is here to help you plan for your love-inspired evening. If you are not sure which local restaurant will win your sweetheart over, we have suggestions for you. 

• Monday: La Marsa Mediterranean Cuisine
• Tuesday: The Lark Restaurant
• Wednesday: Papa Romano's "Love Pizza"

Located in the Radisson Kingsley Hotel, the Northern Lakes Seafood Company separates itself from a typical hotel restaurant with its friendly service and fresh and tasty food. Being a seafood restaurant the nautical themed decor might just transport you and your sweetie to a place other than chilly Michigan.

On Valentine's Day, Chef Travis Waynick has created a special Prix Fixe menu for lovers to love. The four course meal begins with your choice of shrimp cocktail or crab cakes.  The second course includes your choice of lobster bisque, caesar salad or a house salad.  The main course will include your choice of a featured filet mignon or lobster entrée.  Afterward, indulge your sweet tooth with a chocolate tasting, because Valentine's Day isn't complete without some chocolate.  For a grand finale, finish the dining experience with a complimentary glass of "Sex," which is a Brut Rosé champagne created in the Leelanau Peninsula of Michigan.  The Valentine's Day menu is $75 per person.

Just in case this menu is too formal for you, I hear their Lobster Reuben is to die for!
