Anybody who’s looking for a nice place to go on Valentine’s Day will be happy to know that there are many restaurants downtown offering specials specifically for this special holiday.

According to Keira Grech, employee at Ellensburg Floral and Gifts for about two years, there has been a lot of requests lately for Lover’s Chocolate Body Paint, which is now available at the store.

There is also a gift package that’s meant for women to give to their men. The gift package contains a glass beer mug loaded with chocolates, chapsticks and candles.

Grech recalled a couple years ago when there was a Valentine’s order for her to put 50 carnations into one vase.

“We really try to accommodate everybody,” Grech said.

There are a few shelves with many different flower combinations in them with prices ranging from $15 to about $85 depending on the size of the vase and types of flowers.

Ellensburg Floral can get anywhere between 150 to 400 special orders during Valentine’s Day, according to Grech. The amount of orders varies year to year depending on what day the holiday falls on.

“I think we’re the number one spot for Valentine’s Day,” Grech said.

Some restaurants such as Yellow Church Café and The Porch are making new and creative Valentine’s Day menus. Other restaurants are putting together celebrations.

According to James McCurdy, bar manager at the Blue Rock Saloon, there will be free wine tasting from 2 to 5 p.m. The wines will be coming from Gilbert Cellars in Yakima.

“We’ll have a dinner special [too], but it’s just not finished yet,” McCurdy said.

After the wine tasting, dinner will begin being served.

“It’ll be awesome,” McCurdy said.

Sugar Thai, another popular spot downtown, will be giving out a special, complimentary Thai dessert with all their meals served in-house.

At the Yellow Church Café, there will be a special menu for Valentine’s Day. The menu will be available ahead of time on their Facebook page and website.

According to Monica Kent, an employee at the Yellow Church Café, Oscar Guitron, the restaurant’s owner and chef, is in the process of making that menu.

There will be a special meal available that will consist of a salad, entrée and dessert.

“We’ll call it a Valentine’s Day Menu package,” Guitron said.

Anyone who orders this package will also receive a glass of champagne, according to Guitron.

The Porch might have three or four special drinks being served that day, according to lead bartender Jeff Merwin.

The Porch’s chef is in the middle of working on the menu, according to Merwin.

“Last year we had a small menu for Valentine’s Day,” Merwin said. “Not sure what this year’s will be.”
