Valentine's Day on Lake Oconee-The Ritz-Carlton.

Seems like just yesterday I was writing a post about Valentine’s Day but, alas, it was exactly one year ago. Where does the time go?

I hope all of you have had a year full of love. I certainly did. Four months ago today Drew and I got married. It was the greatest day of my life. We had the most incredible day celebrating with our families and friends who came to Greensboro from all over the country. Many of them stayed at The Ritz-Carlton on Lake Oconee and, naturally, they thought it was heaven on earth. How could they not, right? So fellas, if you are looking for the perfect place to take the special lady in your life this Valentine’s Day then you'll feel relieved to know that The Ritz has got you covered!

Georgia’s Bistro, Gaby’s By the Lake, and The Linger Longer Steakhouse are all offering the 3D package-Different, Delicious, Dining options-available February 10th thru the 14th depending on the restaurant. Below are some of the specials each restaurant will be offering as well as the dates they are open.

Gaby’s By the Lake “Romance on the Lake” Menu

Chef Jason Bates has created a special menu for Gaby’s that pairs romantic foods with others known to be aphrodisiacs. Ooo la la! Start with Oysters on the Half Shell with Bloody Mary Granite or Roasted Fingerling Potato & Asparagus Salad with Three-Pepper Chutney & Sweet Chili Beurre Blanc. Follow that with Braised Short Ribs and Lobster Mashed Potatoes. Still got room? Perhaps a nice after dinner cordial and Chocolate Fondue for two! Gaby’s will be open February 10th thru 13th but will be closed February 14th.

Georgia’s Bistro “His & Hers” Valentine Menu
