Valentine's Day is coming up Thursday, Feb. 14. What type of night are you looking for? Scenic, romantic, festive or fun? How about casual with some good beers or a girls night out? We've got you covered with a roundup of a few places offering some sweet dinners and deals throughout Greater Cleveland.
ROMANTIC: Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse

SCENIC: Gervasi Vineyard

Reservations are filing up for The Bistro, which a rep says offers \"its own little romantic escape,\" but The Crush House will have a three-course wine-pairing meal.

QUIET / ROMANTIC: Giovanni's Ristorante
25550 Chagrin Blvd., Cleveland.
The Italian restaurant consistently comes through with some of the best Italian food in Greater Cleveland. Giovanni's is not overlit, and with several dishes receiving tableside preparation, it's a quietly entertaining dining experience.
ACTIVITY DATE: Pinstripes
111 Park Ave., Orange Village
Here's an idea: Bowl a few frames or toss the bocce ball, then order a heart-shaped pizza. Bonus: A complimentary Champagne toast and Frangelico chocolate cake will be given per couple with meal purchase.
ACTIVITY DATE: JACK Casino
100 Public Square, Cleveland.
Work up an appetite by hitting a few tables before feasting at the Seven Chefs Buffet. A specialty buffet for $30.99 features cooked-to-order Steak Diane with burgundy mushroom sauce, lobster tails, Coq Au Vin, mushroom ravioli and festive desserts including chocolate-covered strawberries and panna cotta. (Signature stations also will be available.)
AFTER-DINNER: Mitchell's
1867 W. 25th St., Cleveland.
If you find yourself sauntering after dinner in Ohio City and for some reason want the chill of some ice cream on a cold winter's night, these flavors for Valentine's Day are tempting: Swiss white chocolate, strawberry chocolate chunk and tiramisu. End the night sitting across from your date with a cup of ice cream and a couple of spoons.
GIRLS NIGHT OUT: Spice Kitchen + Bar
