Be My Sinema Valentine ~ A Giveaway!

Love. It’s a word that shouldn’t be thrown around lightly. When it comes to restaurants, I’m very careful about using that term, as there actually aren’t a lot of places I truly LOVE. However, when I do, I’m not shy about it.

I love Sinema. Most of you probably aren’t shocked by that news. I’ve written about this place probably more than any other restaurant in town, and here I am today writing about it again because if there is one spot I’d recommend above all others for Valentine’s Day dinner with your sweetie, this would be it. The menus they’re offering look to-die-for, and well, the space is just gorgeous and sexy, and perfect for a romantic date night.

Important to note: for their Valentine’s dinners (Saturday and Sunday) they’re offering special menus only, and they’re open for dinner on Sunday (which is not usually the case). There are 2 menus to choose from-  a 5-course and a 3-course –  and you can see them below:

5 course, $125 inclusive of tax

1st

Lobster Cannelloni
Lobster & Cheese Filled Pasta, Butter Poached Lobster Radicchio Salad

2nd

Personally, I would dive headfirst into the 5-course because the Chef has brought back a dish from the early days of the restaurant that I seriously have never been able to get out out of my head! The foie gras mousse with zucchini bread is INSANE.  I want all of it. (So, like, be careful if you order it because I may be lurking just around the corner and pounce on you.)

Speaking of pouncing, you may want to hurry up and get those reservations before they’re all gone! You can click here to take care of that right now.
