If Valentine’s Day crept up on you, Oxford has some options to take your sweetheart for a nice dinner or special treat.
Pickle & Pig
Pickle & Pig offers a Valentine’s Day exclusive menu with food ranging from bruschetta and steak to salmon and a Valentine’s staple: chocolate covered strawberries. Diners can pick from three appetizers, two interludes, three main courses, and two desserts. “We hope to provide a romantic evening for two,” said Sam Mikes-Thacker, a manager at Pickle & Pig.
The special menu for two is available for $100. The restaurant still has some reservations open, but showing up early is your best chance of getting a table. The main menu is also available for dining.
Waffle House
One of the newer locations in Oxford might not be the go-to place for Valentine’s but the chain breakfast joint offers a unique holiday experience. Tablecloths, dimmed lighting and candles are just the tip of the iceberg.
The restaurant offers an exclusive Shirley Temple with whipped cream, and the jukebox is free to use on this special day. “It will be an ambiance you wouldn’t expect from a Waffle House,” said Payton Aloi, an employee at Waffle House. The restaurant is covered in pink and red festive decorations.
You can book a reservation from 4 to 9 to experience this romantic ambiance on Valentine’s Day.
