The Valentine's Day menu at Cafe Vermilionville offers some not-to-be-missed specials. Starters include a local rarity, fried soft shell crawfish, and an oyster trio of Rockefeller, charbroiled and fried, with a tasso and leek confit. Turtle soup should hit the mark on a chilly evening. Then there's a culinary classic, Beef Wellington, a roasted beef tenderloin topped with wild mushrooms duxelle and fois gras, wrapped in puff pastry and baked to a golden glory. It's a wildly extravagant dish, perfect for a special winter meal. And don't forget that Cafe V has a cozy fireplace and even cozier bar, made for canoodling on a lover's holiday.
