Dining Out: Arlington Is For Lovers On Valentine's Day

BOWIE, MD -- Valentine's Day is almost upon us. Have you gotten something for your sweetie or made reservations at your local restaurant for a dinner with that special someone? Time's a wasting — Valentine's Day is this Friday.

We asked our Arlington readers to share their favorite romantic restaurants.

On Facebook, Corinne Combeau said Baba Bar (2901 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22201) was the best romantic restaurant in Arlington.

Meanwhile, Sharon McKenna Gundrum said Lyon Hall (3100 Washington Blvd., Arlington, VA 22201) had great food and a romantic ambiance, plus "fairy lights are always a win."

But going to a restaurant is not everyone's ideal way to spend Valentine's Day. "Staying home and ordering in," said Kerry Coll-Puppe. "I mean I'm married so that's pretty much the best thing ever."
