<p>Whether you plan on celebrating Valentine&#8217;s Day or not &#8212; or just haven&#8217;t made up your mind yet &#8212; here are some special meals that will be happening around Los Angeles.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>To Celebrate</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.dragocentro.com/index.php" target="_blank"><strong>Drago Centro</strong></a>: From Feb. 12 to 14, Drago Centro is offering a four-course dinner for $55, with wine pairings for an additional $35. (Limited à la carte menu items will be available, too.) Here are the menu choices:</p>
<p>First course &#8212; beef carpaccio, hearts of palm and candied almonds, or antipasto plate</p>
<p>Second course &#8212; butternut squash ravioli with lemon brown butter, or shrimp and scallop agnolotti with cioppino foam</p>
<p>Third course &#8212; roasted lamb with artichoke hearts, brown butter pomme purée and rapini, or Dover sole, baby vegetable ragoût and lemon beurre blanc</p>
<p>Fourth course &#8212; strawberry semifreddo with basil and white chocolate, or chocolate cake, candied Marcona almonds and raspberries</p>
<p>Also, on Feb. 14 the restaurant will be hosting a masquerade carnival with live music, and guests are encouraged to dress up, too.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cecconiswesthollywood.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Cecconi&#8217;s</strong></a>: The West Hollywood eatery is offering its full à la carte menu, a tasting menu for $85, and an optional wine pairing for an additional $45. The tasting menu includes wild mushroom cappuccino; dungeness crab, ahi tuna and avocado; winter black truffle and ricotta ravioli; chateaubriand for two, winter root vegetables and a peppercorn sauce; and a layered chocolate cake, kirsh cherries and whipped cream.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pourtal.com/ee/" target="_blank"><strong>Pourtal</strong></a>: The Santa Monica wine bar is offering two-for-one glasses of bubbly on Feb. 14 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.  Choose from the featured selection of Marquis de Perlade Blanc de Blanc or a Kir Royale.  Cupid will be there to pass out secret Valentines to guests who purchase bubbly or a tasting card; they will receive a free pour ranging from on Pourtal’s Enomatic machines.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cubemarketplace.com/blog/seasonal/pre-valentines-artisan-fondue-for-two-at-cube-cheesy-romance/" target="_blank"><strong>Cube</strong></a>: Head over to Cube Marketplace&#8217;s cafe on Feb. 13 for a fondue party. Ok, not really, but you can get the fondue special and make it your own party! For $35, you can get prosecco, cheese fondue, roasted farmers market vegetables and fresh fruit, house-baked bread, Meyer lemon coeur a la crème, farmers market berries, citrus cookies &#8212; and house-made dark chocolate truffles and confections to take home.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Not To Celebrate</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.charliesmalibu.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Charlie’s Malibu</strong></a>: On Feb. 13, Charlie’s will host “Bitter, Party of 1” for singles (or as its press release says, “couples welcome, but we may mock them”) with tunes from DJ Kid Wycked from 9:00 p.m. to close. And on both Feb. 13 and 14, the restaurant will offer a four-course chef’s tasting menu for $75, with a $20 wine pairing, along with the regular à la carte and lounge menus.   The tasting menu includes dishes such as poached pear with herbed goat cheese and candied walnuts, filet mignon, and lobster tail.  You don&#8217;t have to eat with a Valentine, you know.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rushstreetculvercity.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Rush Street</strong></a>: On Feb. 13, the Culver City bar and restaurant will host a Meet Your Valentine party with specialty cocktails and artisanal chocolates. There will be no prix fixe menu. On Feb. 14, diners can enjoy half-off featured wine and champagne all day long.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.akasharestaurant.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Akasha</strong></a>: Take home a box of 12 mini cupcakes for $20 from the Culver City restaurant&#8217;s bakery to serve at your anti-Vday party &#8212; or eat them yourself, I don&#8217;t judge. Flavors include chocolate and vanilla cakes with different frosting and icing. The chocolate with Gianduja (that&#8217;s a chocolate/hazelnut combo) filling, chocolate glaze and fleur de sel sounds awesome!</p>
