Master list of best Dallas restaurants to celebrate Valentine's Day 2022
The 2022 version of Valentine's Day falls on a Monday. What that means is that we have a Valentine's Day Weekend on our hands, since doing a special romantic dinner is a lot easier to execute on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, than it is a Monday.
