If you’re not a breakfast person, Summit Coffee offers various aromatic beverages and delicious pastries to help kick start your day. After you’ve fueled up, stroll down the block towards one of the several local boutiques in Davidson.

If you’re lucky enough to have some time for your special person on your lunch break, satisfy your hunger at Boatyard Lake Norman in Cornelius or Lancaster’s BBQ which is just a short drive from Frankie’s. Kindred Restaurant is another wonderful place to celebrate love and life. With a James Beard semifinalist as the head chef, you’ll enjoy the freshest and most unique dishes in Davidson.
Afternoon Treats
Visit a local wine shop or brewery to rest from a busy day. Popular spots to beer hop in Lake Norman are D9 Brewing Company, Lost Worlds, Eleven Lakes Brewing, Primal, and Ass Clown Brewing. If you’re looking to cultivate your wine palate, visit the Davidson Wine Company. They have nice patio Igloos for increased safety measures and they actually make for quite a unique experience! You’ll want to make a reservation ahead of time because slots are limited and sell out rather quickly. You can order the perfect Valentine’s gift box from them too, in partnership with Blumengärten.

Dinner Time
Impress your date with dinner by the beautiful lake at any of the three waterfront restaurants, all of which have indoor/outdoor heated patios!

Be on the lookout for deals on their social media pages since they’ve offered special dinner packages in previous years.Birkdale Village makes for another great central point for dinner plans. This outdoor shopping mall provides a safe environment to treat yourselves to a nice gift and to enjoy a meal. You’ll get to choose from upscale dining like Red Rocks and Dressler’s to casual places like Midwood Smokehouse and Bad Daddy’s among several others. eeZ Fusion will be offering “The Great Valentine’s Day Pick Up” which comes with a sushi platter and a bottle of cabernet or chardonnay for $125.
