Valentine’s Day is on a Friday this year, and if you haven’t made reservations for dinner out at one of the Ocean City area’s best local restaurants, do it now.
About one-third of U.S. adults plan an evening out to celebrate Valentine’s Day and will spend an estimated $4.9 billion, according to a National Retail Federation survey.
Feb. 14 falls on a Friday this year, and that means Ocean City restaurants will likely be busy through the weekend, as well as a day or two earlier than the holiday.
Many, but not all, local restaurants handle reservations through OpenTable, an online service. Romantic restaurants typically fill up a week before Valentine’s Day.
Here are a few still accepting Valentine’s Day reservations, according to Open Table:
- Smithville Inn (1 North New York Road, Absecon)
- Buona Vita (801 Bay Ave., Somers Point)
- A Modo Mio (5900 Landis Ave., Sea Isle City)
- La Fontana Coast (5000 Landis Ave., Sea Isle City)
- La Finestra (25 John F. Kennedy Blvd., Sea Isle City)
