Best One-Two Punch
When planning a night out, many folks consider not only where to get a great meal, but also if there’s somewhere noteworthy nearby for a glass of wine before or dessert or nightcap after. Valentine, along with its sibling, Bar 1912, has curated a space where diners can have a progressive, vibrant night out without ever leaving one building. The restaurant is a love letter to the Southwest that continues to serve some of the most fun and thought-provoking plates in the city. Save room for a boundary-pushing dessert from three-time James Beard Award semifinalist Crystal Kass. You could enjoy that and a nightcap in the dining room. Instead, ask your server to take you over to Bar 1912. Grab a seat by the fire or at the bar and order one of the uniquely crafted cocktails that likewise use Southwestern ingredients in surprising ways.
