Here are the top three stories in Bentonville today:

1. Still finalizing Valentine's Day plans with that special someone? Axios compiled a list of 10 romantic restaurants in northwest Arkansas, and three Bentonville eateries made the cut. Enjoy classic French and Mediterranean cuisine at Petit Bistro, the "refined country cooking" of The Hive, or all things Italian at Tavola Trattoria. (Axios)
2. Last week's winter weather caused dozens of traffic incidents last week, and local auto repair facilities are expecting a huge rush in the coming days. A representative from Brown's Collision Center in Bentonville noted that as the roads clear, auto claims will spike and "everything will snowball all at once." Despite all the snow and ice on the roads, most Arkansas drivers who called for emergency roadside assistance last week did so because of dead or disabled batteries. (4029tv)
3. Tickets are now on sale for the Rogers Short Film Festival, held at the Victory Theater from Mar. 4 through Mar. 6! Take the quick drive over to Rogers and enjoy the works of Arkansas filmmakers, as well as events like a networking breakfast and an awards afterparty. Though the regular film submission deadline is today, extended films can be submitted until Feb. 21.(KNWA)
