Camden Dogtown Market (201 W 7th St) is one of Richmond’s most under appreciated dining spots. Great food, often with a subtle twist that lifts it into the dining elite. The offerings for Valentine’s Day look to continue that tradition and don’t forget they’ve got plenty of options on the wine and beer list.

Also best quote I’ve ever seen in a Valentine’s Press Release: “Why, the menu’s riddled with aphrodisiacs to help Cupid take aim. Or get you laid, whatever.”
