With plenty of spots around the Mother City offering great romantic dining experiences, it can be difficult to pick that one place that’ll promise an extra special, unusual night out for Valentine’s Day. Luckily, the folks at the Two Oceans Aquarium are bringing lovebirds a date-night dinner on Saturday, 14 February 2015 that’s unlike anything else out there.
Sweethearts can feast on a delicious three-course meal featuring everything from fresh salmon to a sinfully scrumptious dessert while watching ragged-tooth sharks, stingrays, turtles and more swim by in the I&J Predator Exhibit. Vegetarians will be catered for with an alternative menu option, and aside from the fare and extraordinary aquatic views, guests can look forward to a welcome drink on arrival and live entertainment as well as wandering around the aquatic exhibit with your significant other.
