With the Super Bowl just over a week away, it’s fair to assume that Valentine’s Day might not be the top priority for Tacomans right now.

Still, many out there are looking forward to a romantic date night on the town or perhaps at home accompanied by food from your go-to takeout spot.

We want to hear from you, readers. Tell us where in Pierce County you plan to dine with your S.O. this Valentine’s Day.

If you don’t plan doing anything this year, or you’re one to avoid the Feb. 14 crowds, then tell us restaurants you’ve loved in years past. It could be anything from a cozy takeout meal to an upscale sit-down dinner with all the lovey-dovey bells and whistles.
