To help you choose that perfect restaurant for that perfect evening we asked some of Long Island’s best restaurants what romantic meal we must-have off their Valentine’s Day menu!

What a great list! I always have a tradition on V-Day to take my wife to a fantastic restaurant. I will say that I went to George Martin’s Strip Steak, their newest restaurant, last month on a business dinner and was blown away by the place. The food was perfect and I really liked the setting the place sets. Well suffice to say I have already made my V-Day reservation there (table in the back room is sooooooooooooooo romantic!) I know she’s going to love it, especially her favorite, BLUE POINT OYSTERS!!!) I will have to check out the rest of the list later on.
