I recently read that the best thing you could do on St Valentines Day is stay inside and cook your loved one a meal. it's certainly full of romantic overtones, but the main thrust of the article was how stressful it is for a restaurant to manage that constant influx of diners arriving two at a time.

Of course if everything went to plan then Ange and I would be in our own house, sitting around a table eating some sort of romantic candlelit dinner I'd made for her. But, fate being what it is, I've had to brace myself and put everything in the hands of one of the better cafe/restaurants north of the city: CocoInc. It also helps that their fixed menu is a bargain at $40 per head.

We've eaten there before, so we know the food is brilliant. Although every time we've been there in the past the place has been mostly empty, with no real pressure on the kitchen.

For Valentines day the guys at CocoInc have implemented fixed seating times. So I'm sure they do have some experience in handling the demands of a full room, even if they are only a few months old. We're hitting them at the tail end of the night, 8:30 to be exact, so it'll be interesting to see how they've been coping.
