The Tampa Bay Times reported that employees to dress and act as waiters and offer guest table service and free refills. The restaurant will be decorated with "plenty of red and flowers and hearts."
General manager Ernesto Izquierdo said he credits his service manager, Liliana Rofario, for coming up with the idea of transforming the space into a romantic getaway.
"She came to me and asked me what I thought. She has three kids and she thought it would be a cool thing for them. Maybe for them it's a first Valentine's Day, and they can't afford to go to a lot of places," Izquierdo said. "There a misconception that it has to be romantic. It's about showing someone you love them."
