Here's a listing of a few special offerings for that special lovey dovey day.

BEFORE V-DAY: In preparation for your sweetheart, a few places have a few things you may want to check out.

Whiskey Blue —Attend a Whiskey seminar with chocolate and bourbon on the menu. Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Chris Morris will be hosting the event at the W Hotel and seminars begin at the top of every hour from 7:30-11:30 p.m. on Feb. 12 at 3377 Peachtree Rd. RSVP at atlevents@sixdegreesmag.com

Legal Seafood—Oysters are a deliciously tricky item to eat, but if you really want to learn, you can attend a tasting and tutorial on Feb. 11 from 6-7:30 p.m. This will be an especially good idea if couples need to brush up on their oyster eating habits for the big V-Day. Tickets are $35 per person, not including champagne, tax and gratuity. Call 617-530-9287 for reservations.

Woodfire Grill —Hosting a Pre-V-Day Cabaret the Shakespearean way. Atlanta’s top actors will perform on Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. as guests are entertained and fed hors d’oeuvrs, a three-course dinner, and wine. Tickets are $100, but $50 is tax deductible. RSVP online or call 404-504-3413 by Feb.6. 1782 Cheshire Bridge Rd.

You left out Violette on Clairmont. And for good reason it turns out. We always avoid Valentine's Day due to the unrealistic expectations that love hungry, straight women put on unsuspecting, horny straight men. So I would assume the level of cooking takes a deep hit in the realm of diners who's palates normally consist of chicken wings and cans of beer on this most special of Halmark holidays. So you don't have to ask how understaffed, uneven and almost unpleasant the evening was. I can not believe the reviews this place has gotten online. Honestly it gets one star as there were some components of entree that I liked, but that's about it. Two people, sub par food and service, 100 bucks. Next year we'll just buy a 50 dollar bottle of wine, get two killer filets and roast some fingerling potatoes and have a nice time at home. We would not give this place a second chance either, neither would most of the other diners as we saw more upset and unhappy people that I've ever seen in my life. Boo Violette!
