RESTAURANT ROUNDUP:

You really want to score points with your sweetie this Valentine’s Day? Try taking them out more than once this week for cocktails.

You can get a head start on the holiday at the Wildfish Seafood Grille in Newport Beach as it serves up what the restaurant promises are “deliciously romantic cocktails” Monday through Feb. 15. Buy your honey a Chocolate Valentini or maybe a Rose Flirtini for $12. The Chocolate Valentini blends Three Olives Vanilla Vodka with Chambord and Kalua topped off with whipped cream and chocolate flakes. Sounds more like dessert. We wonder what the Rat Pack would have thought of that.

The Rose Flirtini includes Grey Goose Le Citron, lemon juice and Monin Rose Syrup with a sugared rim.

Meals for a night with that special someone

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar in Newport Beach will start the holiday early with a “Sharing Menu” for two. Dine with your cutie Feb. 13 through 15 and you’ll also get a $25 coupon for your next dinner at the steakhouse.

Here’s what’s on the menu:

 Saucy glazed porterhouse steak: a double-thick cut with cognac-mushroom glaze, haricot vert amandine and Parmesan cheese mashed potatoes and salad. That will set you back $98 for two.

 Herb-crusted rack of lamb and lobster en fuego: mustard and fresh herb-crusted lamb rack, Maine lobster with shallots, sriracha chiley-soy sauce, orzo, winter ratatouille and fondant potatoes, with salad. For two the bill is $89.

 Dark chocolate frangelico fondue: almond sponge cake and assorted fresh fruit slices to dip in fondue. For two, it’s $9.50.
