To give couples another reason to celebrate, Fleming's is offering each couple dining during Valentine's Weekend a complimentary $25 Fleming's Dining Card to use toward a future rendezvous with their sweetheart.*

"Valentine's Day is always a memorable time for our guests," says Executive Chef Russell Skall. "We've created our Sharing Menu with suggested wine pairings from our Director of Wine Marian Jansen op de Haar as an addition to our regular menu. There is nothing more romantic and intimate as savoring the pleasures of a meal with someone you love."

To add an extra touch of romance to the occasion - without an extra touch to the waistline - Jansen op de Haar has created the 99 calorie Tickled Pink cocktail. The sparkling elixir blends Belvedere Vodka with orange juice and raspberries, and a splash of Italian Mionetto Prosecco.

"A sparkling cocktail is always an endearing and romantic way to start the evening. The bubbles tickle the senses and are always a symbol of celebration," says Jansen op de Haar. "This year, we also wanted to continue offering a low calorie option for our guests. The Tickled Pink cocktail is only 99 calories. What better way to toast to the one you love without a second thought to New Year's Resolutions."
