Reserve Valentine’s Day Tables Now At Worcester's Top Restaurants

WORCESTER, MA — Valentine’s Day is on a Saturday this year, and if you haven’t made reservations for dinner out at one of Worcester's best local restaurants, do it now.

About 39 percent of U.S. adults plan an evening out to celebrate Valentine’s Day, according to a National Retail Federation survey. Because Feb. 14 falls on a Saturday this year, Worcester restaurants will likely be busy through the weekend, as well as a day or two earlier than the holiday.

Many, but not all, local restaurants handle reservations through OpenTable, an online service. Romantic restaurants typically fill up a week before Valentine’s Day.

Here are a few still accepting Valentine’s Day reservations, according to OpenTable:

• Tropeiro’s Grill Brazilian Steakhouse (480 Shrewsbury St.)
