Longtime Niwot residents Annie and Eric Lee, owners of Portabello’s Restaurant in south Longmont, are running a great Valentine’s Day special.  Eric Lee stated, “We are offering an additional special menu.  It’s a four-course meal, which includes an appetizer, salad, five special entrees and four desserts.  Entrees include a surf ‘n turf of filet mignon and lobster tail, seafood ravioli with shrimp and Chardonnay cream sauce, prime rib, halibut and steak Diane.

“As for desserts, you can be assured that any chocolate lover will be in heaven.  We have a chocolate Corazon with fresh raspberries and Grand Marnier crème Anglaise.  We are also presenting an Italian lemon cake, dark chocolate mousse cake and Tiramisu.”  Lee said.

All these items are especially created for Valentine’s Day. The cost, which includes champagne, is $35.95 per person.
