10 Boise Restaurants Perfect for a Last Minute Valentine's Date

So, you waited until the last minute to book Valentine’s Day reservations. While we’re confident that if you had to pull off something special in your own kitchen, you could totally do it, it may be important to you to get out of the house to celebrate.

We totally understand. You may work long hours and if you were to do it all from scratch, dinner might not get on the table until 9 p.m. Or you just really, really want to spend some time with your sweetie without the kids running around and screaming. (Plus, mac and cheese and hot dogs don’t sound like a romantic Valentine’s Day meal.)

Well, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news? Many of the restaurants that are considered the most romantic in the Treasure Valley appear to be completely booked during dinner hours on February 14. We’re talking Chandlers, Fork, Richard’s, etc.

The good news? A handful of other great restaurants still show a handful of reservations available through Open Table or Resy. You may have to sit at a hightop on a heated patio, but if you’re in a pinch, these restaurants hope to make your Valentine’s Day special!
