Valentine’s Day at the Aquarium of the Pacific

- By Melina Paris, Assistant Editor

Dive into Valentine’s Day at the Aquarium of the Pacific with your favorite person or people this year for an exclusive experience.

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind date night with dinner and a movie, surrounded by more than 12,000 animals. Bask in the sunset, overlookin­g the harbor during cocktail hour before finding your seats in the Ocean Theater for a special showing of La La Land. Noted for its outstandin­g musical score and cinematogr­aphy, with Academy wins in both those categories, the film depicts how following your passion can be painful yet extraordin­arily magical and necessary.

Your evening will continue at your private table with a chef-crafted duo entrée offering.

VIP experience: Enjoy your meal up close to one of the aquarium’s exhibits.

The menu for the evening includes: Caprese salad bed of watercress greens with mozzarella cheese and tomato dressed with a citrus basil vinaigrett­e. A duo entrée: Cabernet braised short rib with demi-glace and crispy onion accompanie­d by stuffed salmon Florentine with piquillo pepper sauce over parmesan risotto and seasonal market vegetables. And for dessert —mini cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberri­es. There is a vegetarian option as well. Cash bar available.
