Valentine's Day is just around the corner. That means that it's prime time to make your reservations and plan your perfect Valentine's Day date. Here are some of the top spots in Utah to make all of your romantic dreams come true.

Weber/Davis County

Rovali's Ristorante Italiano

Good food should make you feel good. That's the idea behind the delicious options at Rovali's. Chef Ro has been cooking for 20 years and brings delicious custom recipes all his own. Be sure to leave room for delicious pastries made fresh by Angela, the house pastry chef.

Corbins Grille

This places mixes just enough swank for a special occasion with delicious comfort food and friendly waiters to make you feel at home. Whether you choose a Wood Grilled steak or the New Zealand Rack of Lamb, you stomach (and your date) will thank you for a delicious evening.

The Mandarin

Local favorites like this are hard to find. This one just celebrated 38 years of serving Utah delicious Chinese dishes made by chefs from Hong Kong and San Francisco. Try their Chicken Soong Imperial Lettuce wraps followed by favorites like General Tsao's Chicken or Honey Walnut Shrimp.

Salt Lake County

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse

This steak should come with a disclaimer: your standards for steak will be raised forever. Besides the one of the seven choices for your cut of steak, don't miss the appetizers like calamari and spicy lobster. You can finish off your perfect night with your choice of dessert from options like chocolate sin cake, caramelized banana cream pie and more.

Cucina Toscana

Take a trip to Italy without ever getting on a plane. Experience some Italian classics from Lasagna to Pesce Forno Con Porcini E Piselli (literally means oven-fried fish with mushrooms and peas). Finish off your world travels with some authentic Cannoli or Tiramisu.

Bambara

Consistently ranked as one of Utah's top fine-dining spots, Bambara's ambiance and menu are hard to beat. Try the "Three Little Pigs" for three cuts of pork cooked to perfection or treat yourself to the Seared Maine Scallops.

Utah County

Sundance Tree Room

If romantic ambiance is top on your list, this is the place for your Valentine's Day date. Add in a delicious menu including options like Elk Loin and Herbed Quinoa and you have a recipe for a night to remember.

La Jolla Groves

The owners of this restaurant say that the food and ambiance here is inspired by a trip to the island of Capri. They tried to capture the vibrant, alluring nature of Capri in their delicious ingredients and Mediterranean inspired décor. If you wish you were leaving on a lovers' getaway, try the next best thing with a trip to La Jolla Groves.

Bombay House

Craving something a little different for your Valentine's Day date? Take your love to Bombay House and submerge your senses in Indian cuisine. The menu is bursting with warm, inviting options that are straight from the kitchens of India. This is also a great place if your date is vegetarian or gluten-free.

Southern Utah

Anasazi Steakhouse & Gallery

If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience, Anasazi is your place. Choose from chicken, steak, shrimp or scallops and then cook it yourself on a heated volcanic rock. Talk about bringing the heat!

What do you get when you take the perfect view, add in some delicious food and great service? The Cliffside Restaurant. Located on the cliff just above St. George Boulevard, you'll see the whole valley while you eat favorites like the Cliffside Steak and Hash or the Chili Glazed Salmon.

Painted Pony

Located on Ancestor Square in St. George, this place is probably just a quick drive from your house or hotel. Choose from options like Hangar Steak, or Prosciutto-Wrapped Free Range Chicken. After dinner, you'll be perfectly placed for a leisurely stroll around historic St. George.
