Valentine’s Day is just around the corner—like, those plans needed to be made yesterday. It’s not too late, though, to plan a romantic Valentine’s Day celebration for you and your plus one. We’ve got you covered with these favorite northern Utah restaurants offering special Valentine’s cuisine, whether you’re looking for an upscale three-course meal or a quick dessert. Plus, get creative with our unique holiday date ideas. (P.S.: If you’re finding that those reservation slots on the 14th are all filled up, don’t fret! Many of these deals extend a few days before and after Valentine’s Day.)
Dining and Dessert
Gray Cliff Lodge
The Gray Cliff Lodge restaurant, tucked into Ogden Canyon, is a cozy and quaint restaurant where guests can enjoy a four-course meal—every entrée is always served with a fruit cup or tomato juice, green salad or homemade soup, potato or rice, fresh dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls and a homemade dessert. We recommend the fresh, local trout for dinner and the oatmeal pie for dessert. It’s a cozy dinner for two. Just down the road in the same canyon is the Alaskan Inn, where you and your sweetheart can enjoy a romantic night with breakfast delivered to your room or cabin in the morning. And there are, of course, many ski resorts nearby.
