Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday this year, which means it's prime date night. It also means restaurant reservations could go especially fast. Decisions must be made. Tables must be booked.

Here is our guide to all the best Dallas-area restaurants for dinner on Valentine's Day, February 14. Some restaurants are choosing to extend the festivities throughout the weekend, and a few are making a whole week of it. Bonus that you'll be showing love to restaurants, which are in recovery mode after being shut down for several days due to wintry weather.

To make the list, they can't just be open and serving their regular menu; they must be offering something special for V-Day, with menu details available and reservations still available.

Anticipate that more restaurants will be added to this list as the big day draws closer.
