Valentine’s Day is an occasion that calls for not only a special meal, but an experience – one where food, drink, setting and service combine to create an evening that will be remembered long after the final course has been cleared.
H Tasting Lounge will be providing exactly that when it hosts an indulgent six-course Valentine’s Day dinner in its famed outdoor Winterlust domes, a cozy (and safe) environment for couples and friends seeking something truly exclusive.
Retreat into your private dome, where sheepskin throws, faux fur pillows and woodland-inspired décor impart Nordic charm, while efficient heating, fresh-air circulation and independent sound systems provide comfort and a personalized atmosphere.
