I was browsing my usual haunts this morning when I came across Richmond.com‘s article regarding suggestions for a romantic dinner out for Valentine’s Day.  While no list can cover all of the great possibilities, and the ultimate choice of a romantic spot may be very different from couple to couple — I thought I would chime in with some omissions that are worth a mention.

First, the selections that Richmond.com listed:

• Acacia
• The Dining Room at The Berkeley Hotel
• Bistro R
• The Boathouse
• Cafe Gutenberg
• City Limit
• Europa
• The Fox Head Inn
• Hondos
• The Lucky Buddha
• Michelle’s at Hanover Tavern
• Morton’s
• O’Toole’s
• Patina Grill
• Seven Hills Market (for take-home)
• Six Burner
• Strawberry Street Cafe
• Twenty-Seven
• Zeus Gallery

Please visit the Richmond.com Eat Beat article for more details on each of the above choices.  But in the meantime, here are some choice selections from me:

• Pomegranate
• Julep’s
• Cabo’s
• Franco’s
• Sensi
• Old Original Bookbinders
• Avenue 805
• The White Dog
• Avalon
• 1 North Belmont
• Grafiti Grille
• Acappella
• Cous Cous
• Edo’s Squid
• Enoteca Sogno
• Ipanema (on Grace Street, not the one in Short Pump)

Wow, there are a lot more that could be added — I am curious as to which others you think should be on the list.  I was keeping in mind a romantic, intimate setting that is relatively upscale.  So let us hear your choices, Richmond!
