A Beyonce-themed dinner? 5 unique Valentine's Day meals 2014

For some, Celebrate Valentine’s Day 2014 is all about love notes and stuffed teddy bears. For others, it’s the perfect excuse to indulge in a pricey three-course meal, followed by an impossibly large box of chocolates. And why not? It was known as the “feast” of St. Valentine, after all.

V-Day is the second most popular holiday for dining out (Mother’s Day wins that prize), and last year, one-quarter of Americans were expected to eat in a restaurant with their loved ones, according to the National Restaurant Association. Even President Obama managed to take the first lady out on the town.

As the holiday falls on a Friday this year, there should be no shortage of diners willing to brave crowded rooms and unusually expensive menus for a candlelit culinary experience. But while there are so many restaurants offering special V-Day menus this year, there are a few that stand out for creativity.

“My general manager, Megan, and I were thinking of what we could do for this year’s Valentine’s Day to make it special,” Brucie owner Zahra Tangorra told . “We looked at each other and naturally thought Beyonce. She’s having her moment now, and we’ve been listening to her record nonstop.”
