Whether you’re making reservations for a fine dining experience or taking your significant other to their favorite family restaurant, dining out is a quintessential part of Valentine’s Day. Many people will spend the evening dining out with their loved ones, making February 14th one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants. If you’re thinking of taking your partner out this Valentine’s Day, it’s wise to start planning early.

Valentine’s Day Dining Trends

Everyone Is Busier

Overall, fine dining restaurants enjoy the largest increase in sales on Valentine’s Day, compared to the weeks surrounding the holiday. However, family restaurants, steakhouses, and seafood places all enjoy an increase of guests looking for a fun, relaxing experience.

It’s Not Just Couples

While most people want to spend Valentine’s Day with their special person, some like to celebrate with friends and family. Many restaurants see twice as many tables for four as other days—and even parties of six are common. Whether you’re bringing the entire family or celebrating Valentine’s Day with a group of single friends, a restaurant is the perfect way to spend the evening.
