This year Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday and many restaurants are offering Valentine’s Day specials on Saturday as well. Hopefully you don’t have to work the following day, President’s Day, and can take advantage of this three day weekend.

Michael and I scoured our sources and assembled this list of South Bay restaurants that have Valentine’s Day offerings. We hope that you have a chance to enjoy the day with that special someone in your life.
