This couples-only Valentine’s experience centers on a thoughtfully paced, multi-course menu inspired by Cuban flavors and warm hospitality. Each guest is welcomed with a complimentary glass of the restaurant’s house sangria, setting the tone for an evening that unfolds slowly and deliberately.

The Experience

$80 per couple + tax

Menu Highlights

The evening begins with the Havana Green Salad, a vibrant starter featuring seasonal greens topped with caramelized sweet plantain, jamón serrano, candied nuts, golden queso frito bites, and a balsamic guava vinaigrette that balances sweetness and acidity.

For the main course, couples may choose one of three entrées:

  • Grilled Hanger Steak & Yuca Frites
    Perfectly grilled hanger steak served alongside crispy yuca fries, a roasted tomato mélange, and fresh chimichurri.
  • Rabo Encendido Ravioli
    Hand-filled ravioli with slow-braised oxtail, finished with charred tomatoes and grated Parmesan.
  • Crab-Crusted Fish
    Pan-seared fish topped with a delicate crab crust, accompanied by white bean Cuban cocido, Spanish chorizo, steamed parsley potatoes, tender collard greens, and olive oil.

Dessert closes the evening on a sweet note with Strawberry Shortcake Tres Leches—a vanilla sponge soaked in three milks, layered with fresh strawberries, and delicately scented with Grand Marnier.

This is a Valentine’s dinner built around atmosphere as much as food: no rush, no noise, just thoughtful cooking and time carved out for connection.

Whether celebrating one year or fifty, this evening is a reminder that love—at every stage—deserves to be savored.

$95 per couple
Location: Amanda’s Farm to Fork at The Tea Room

Some Valentine’s dinners whisper romance. This one rides in loud, confident, and unforgettable.

Cowboy Candy and Kisses is a Friday-night Valentine’s dinner built around indulgence, storytelling, and a menu so hearty it feels pulled straight from the American West. Designed as a true sit-down experience—no lines, no rushing—each couple is given a private table for the entire evening.

The Menu

The evening begins with a playful nod to the Old West: classic Cowboy Candy, also known as brown sugared bacon—sweet, smoky, and impossible to forget.

Fresh rolls follow, drizzled generously with honey butter and served warm, setting the tone for a meal that leans unapologetically into comfort and indulgence.

Next comes an Oklahoma favorite with deep roots: Cowboy Salad with Cattleman’s Cheddar Dressing, a recipe that has been served since 1920 and remains beloved for good reason. One bite explains why it has stood the test of time.

The main course goes all in:

  • Black cracked pepper–crusted prime rib, carved thick and served with house-made creamed horseradish
  • Twice-baked loaded potato, rich and fully committed
  • Butter-dipped grilled shrimp, served as a finishing skewer to round out the plate

Just when the table thinks it has reached its limit, dessert arrives.

Each table receives a dessert flight featuring:

  • Warm bourbon-glazed apple crisp
  • Cowboy cheesecake with caramel, pecans, peanut butter, salted pretzels, and chocolate
  • A warm cowboy blonde brownie

The Experience

Only 12 tables are available, ensuring a relaxed, intimate evening with no double bookings and no sense of hurry—just a table for two and time to enjoy it. Couples who wish to be seated with another couple may request arrangements in advance.

Tickets are limited and currently sold out. Refunds are available up to ten days in advance. A complete take-out option for the full meal is also available by prior arrangement.

This is Valentine’s dinner done the cowboy way: generous, bold, and meant to be remembered.
