2941 Restaurant
The moment you drive down the driveway to 2941 you won’t believe you are still in the city. As you enter the restaurant, you will immediately notice the serene waterfalls and a koi pond before walking through the door. And the views don’t stop once you’re inside. The dining room is covered with windows, so you can enjoy the lush greenery at any moment, along with the art dispersed throughout the restaurant. Named the No. 2 best restaurant in Northern Virginia Magazine, diners will continue to be wowed once their meal hits the table. 2941 Fairview Park Dr., Falls Church
Bistro L’Hermitage
This charming French restaurant combines upscale dining with a relaxed setting. Outstanding service and freshly cut flowers on each table will make your meal that much more special. Our food critic recommends the friture d’huîtres Coquilles St. Jacques, or poulet rôti. 12724 Occoquan Rd., Woodbridge
Fahrenheit 132
Who said a steakhouse couldn’t be romantic? This Fredericksburg restaurant is bringing the romantic vibes through its atmosphere, menu, and handcrafted cocktails. Grab reservations for two and order a special bottle from the restaurant’s extensive wine list to kick off an incredible date night. This is the second year in a row Fahrenheit 132 has made this OpenTable list. 318 William St., Fredericksburg
L’Auberge Chez Francois
If you can’t go to France for Valentine’s Day, head to L’Auberge Chez Francois instead. This old-school French restaurant is consistently ranked one of the best in not only Northern Virginia, but throughout the country. Headed by Chef Jacques Haeringer, diners can find authentic French cuisine daily on both the prix fixe and a la carte menus. 332 Springvale Rd., Great Falls
