Restaurant Rendezvous

Try a romantic evening out or a fun date night with friends for this Valentine's Day. Just want to be alone? No problem. Carvers Steaks & Chops has you covered.

Every mom needs a little "me time." Each week, we'll offer a suggestion of a local place to go or an activity to do to help busy moms get the peace and relaxation they need. 

Every mom needs to get out and about. Clear the head and bring peace to the mind. This week, we’re suggesting a date night for the up-and-coming Valentine’s Day on Monday. What can one possibly do on a Monday night, you say? Date away.

Monday is the perfect day to start out the week with a fun and enticing date night. You’ll be flying high all week after this Rancho Bernardo outing.

It seems too simple. Even date nights can get old. But according to Arthur Aron, a professor of psychology who spoke to The New York Times, “date night” is about reinvention. Doing the same old thing every couple of weeks can create stability and safety, but to renew that love commitment to yourself and your partner, the goal is to “keep injecting novelty” into date night events, says Aron.

Try out at 11940 Bernardo Plaza Dr. Give them a call for a reservation at 858-485-1262 or visit their review . You can also see their menu at carverssteak.com.

This award-winning steak house offers the best in prime rib and specialty choice cuts of steak. Their motto is commitment to “the tradition of the big-city steakhouse without the big-city price or big-city drive.” The nice thing about a local date night is participating in neighborhood business within your community. Carvers offers an elegant and romantic fine-dining atmosphere in the heart of Rancho Bernardo. Their cuisine ranges from the steak house usuals to Cajun and Creole infusions. The menu ranges from a variety of appetizers, sides and sauces to seafood, steak and chops, pasta, chicken and ribs, as well as combination plates. Getting full? Check out their full bar and wine menu—it’ll get the evening heated up right away.

Date night doesn’t always have to be within a committed relationship. Flying solo is encouraged as well. Treat yourself to a mom-only dinner, or bring a family member, co-worker, or close friend. Valentine’s Day is about celebrating love of all types, including amorous and platonic. Whomever you bring to Carvers Steaks & Chops, getting out will offer you quality adult time that will enhance the rest of your mom-filled week.
