Make those Valentine’s Day reservations now.
Since the holiday falls on a Saturday (already a busy day for most restaurants), an early reservation will be a must. Luckily, some places are offering special meals all weekend long. Look for more special holiday meals and menus in next week’s Weekly Dish (and send those updated Valentine’s Day menu plans to food@hippopress.com). Here are a few places that offer special menus for Feb. 14 (in many cases, the regular dinner menu will also be available).
• Colby Hill Inn (3 The Oaks, Henniker, 428-3281) will serve a special three-course dinner from Wednesday, Feb. 11, through Sunday, Feb. 15. Guests may choose from a selection of appetizers and entrees, which include dishes such as fennel creamed oysters, crispy tempura shrimp, grilled beef tenderloin, rosemary roasted breast of chicken, and butternut squash and herb risotto. Dessert will be a fireside chocolate fondue. The cost is $45 per person.
• The Bedford Village Inn (2 Olde Bedford Way, Bedford, 472-2001) has three romantic ways to enjoy dinner that evening.
