Valentine's Day Restaurants: Patch Picks

Every Thursday, Patch will run a weekly feature called Patch Picks, highlighting editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off, and more.  

You’ll find useful lists to help you, your family, friends, and significant others find the best places for everything from Sunday brunch to New Year’s Eve celebrations, pumpkin patches, date night destinations, florists, girlfriend nights out, kids party places, parks and more.

For this week, we asked Lemont Patch Facebook fans to tell us their favorite local restaurants to have a romantic meal with their significant others.

1. , 319 Front St.: According to Amy Silberman-Kelly, Front Street Cantina has 18 candlelit booths and $4/pint margarita specials. The restaurant will also be giving gifts to couples, but the gift is a surprise.

2. , 107 Stephen St.: La Dolce Vita was a unanimous favorite among Lemont Patch Facebook fans. The restaurant offers a warm, romantic atmosphere and a sophisticated menu of wine and Italian fare. For more information, check out .

3. , 1224 State St.: If you're feeling festive this Valentine's Day, head to Kitaro, where the red walls and booths create a laid-back, hip atmosphere. The restaurant offers more than 20 varieties of sashimi and sushi at an affordable price.

4. , 206 Main St.: Keith Gothard recommends This Must Be the Place in downtown Lemont. "It has great food and the chicken poblano is the best soup I've ever eaten," he said.

5. , 1015 State St.: If you're looking for a laid-back, romantic night at home, swing by Vito and Nick's to pick up a pizza to go. In honor of Valentine's Day, the restaurant will be serving heart-shaped pizzas all day Monday.
