Restaurants near Behlen Observatory

We celebrated Valentine’s Day a date late. We were seated right away when we arrived at our reservation time. We ordered a Chophouse salad and French Onion Soup. Both were delicious and large portions. The rolls they served first were warm and crusty on the outside, soft on the inside. Our waiter staff, Chelsea and Kayla were very attentive and took very good care of us. We tried the salmon and a ribeye steak with corn as our side. The steak was tender, flavorful and cooked to perfection. The salmon was cooked with tomato, capers and shrimp. The taste was delicious and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The corn had been cut off of the cob and was very fresh and the serving was enough for both of us. We actually had plenty of our entrees and the side to take home. We were seated next to a party of 4 who were very loud. Once they left we enjoyed a quieter setting. Overall, we had a wonderful experience!

Dante is an absolute gem! The food is outstanding—fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and expertly prepared dishes. Their wood-fired pizzas are a must-try, and the pasta is next-level. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a date night or a special occasion. The service was excellent, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience. Can’t wait to go back!

I had the Durango burger, my wife had the Baja shrimp pasta. We both really enjoyed our meal. It was a busy night, but our server Mirakle was always making sure everything was okay, that we had ample bread and drinks before our food got there and was super nice and prompt. We have no complaints, and for a bustling night like Valentine’s Day, we were impressed

A Perfect Valentine’s Dinner at Legacy Chophouse I had the pleasure of dining at Legacy Chophouse for Valentine’s Day, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The ambiance was spot-on—warm lighting, a welcoming vibe, and a romantic touch with roses waiting at our table. The food was incredible. I had the prime rib paired with crab cakes, and I have to say, those crab cakes were the best I’ve ever tasted—crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. My date ordered the sirloin, cooked to absolute perfection, juicy and seasoned just right. The salad bar was fresh, well-stocked, and exactly what we needed to start the evening. From the atmosphere to the service to the food, Legacy Chophouse exceeded our expectations. It was truly a night to remember, and we’ll definitely be back!
