For those looking for the same romantic surroundings and high quality food, but with a smaller appetite, the Inn’s Tavern is offering a three course prix fixe meal with a limited selection of the Dining Room menu for a reduced price.

For guests that wish to stay the night, the BVI is offering its Fireside Package in its most luxurious accommodation – the two-bedroom Summit Suite – from Feb. 8 throughout Feb. 14. The package includes private butler service in the 1,050 square foot suite (complete with one four-poster king-size bed and one queen bed). The suite also includes a spacious living room, a wood-burning fireplace (tended by a private butler), a whirlpool bath, Italian marble, and a wet bar with a small refrigerator. Modern amenities are also offered including: high-speed Internet, 32” HD flat screen television, and an iPod-compatible Bose CD player. In addition to the customary amenities, chilled Vueve Clicquot and a choice of Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail or Oysters on the Half Shell will be waiting upon the guests’ arrival. Guests can choose to enjoy the special four-course prix fixe Valentine’s Day menu privately (for a $50 up charge), in-room under candlelight, and the butler will draw a bubble bath while dessert is enjoyed with hot toddy served fireside. Valentine’s Day will last into the morning as a gourmet breakfast in bed is delivered.

The Fireside Package prices start at $650 ($50 extra for Valentine’s Day menu in-suite), not including tax or gratuity. Reservations are a must.

For those that cannot make it out on Valentine’s Day evening itself – whether it is because of children or simply because it is a Tuesday night – the BVI is offering a Valentine Celebration from Thursday, Feb. 9 through Tuesday, Feb. 13.  Chef Knack has created a special three course prix fixe sweetheart menu with select menu items from the larger Valentine’s Day Dining Room spread. 

Dinner seating on Valentine’s Day is available from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. by reservation only. The Dining Room four course prix fixe menu is $75 per person, and the Tavern three course prix fixe menu is $45. Tax and gratuity are not included in either.

Cancellations will be accepted up to 72 hours prior to February 14th.  Cancellations accepted beyond that point will be subject to a $25.00 per person cancellation fee not including tax.
