Popping the Question on V-Day

Yes, a lot of people think it's cliche to pop the question on Valentine's Day. But you know what? They still do it. Why? Because it works. And that way you won't forget the day you proposed. So there's a bonus. If you're looking for another bonus, how about a free meal? Nicola's is offering a free dinner if you propose over V-Day dinner. The Valentine's Day deal includes dinner for two for $89, then you get to come back and relive the magic with a free dinner later. You weren't going to actually propose over a free meal, were you? Here are all the deets from the Nicola's PR people:

This February 14th, Ristorante Nicola, located at 8111 Preston Road in Dallas, invites guys (and ladies) to take a bended knee in an elegant atmosphere with exquisite food that will not be soon forgotten. Every couple who “pops the question” during the evening’s meal will receive a complimentary dinner*. To make the event extra special, the staff at Ristorante Nicola will even work with suitors on a one-on-one basis before the big day to determine a perfect surprise presentation. Imagine a loved one’s expression when the tiramisu arrives topped with an engagement ring!

The evening’s three-course San Valentino (Valentine’s Day) menu, for those getting engaged or just enjoying a dinner together, is $89 per couple plus tax and gratuity. It will be available on Tuesday, February 14 from 5 to 10 p.m. The restaurant’s most treasured items from the regular menu of house-made pastas and other delicacies will also be available during this time.
