I went to dinner on Valentines day with my newborn son at The Rail. His father is the chef there so it worked out good. We still was able to somewhat spend valentines day together as a family. Food was delicious! Atmosphere was nice the Valentine's Day decorations were beautiful. My waitress was awesome as well. They even had pictures that you could get taken when you walk in the front door. It was an awesome night and a great way to spend my first Valentine's Day with my first son.
