Valentine Date Night 'Passion, Temptation and Tango': A 1920's Candlelit Dinner, Music and Tango Revue
An unforgettable date night, our Valentine's Dinner Show Revue 'Passion, Temptation and Tango' takes you to another time and place: 1920's Buenos Aires, Argentina. Our romantic restaurant, lit by candle light and fireplaces, is the perfect escape to a most intimate and beautiful space. For this special occasion we have created a Buenos Aires inspired four-course dinner complimented by a bottle of wine and craft cocktail set for your pleasure to enjoy a live tango band and passionate tango dance revue with nationally recognized dance partners.
In the classic style of dinner shows, couples are seated side-by-side facing the dance floor. Dinner begins with one of our fine craft cocktails followed by an exquisite four-course meal with a bottle of our select Argentina and South American wines. At the end of this affair a gift box of hand crafted chocolate treats are delivered to keep the sweetness of the night's memory.
The evening's experience is filled with the sultry music of Argentine Tango with its melodic sweet songs that inspire one of the most sensual ballroom dance styles. Presenting the top Tango and Latin dancers of the region, two couples will express romance, passion and temptation in improvised synchronized dance we know as Tango. This will be an unforgettable night with memories for years to come.
Our menu offers a vegetarian choice for each course and with the exception of the Empanadas all menu items are gluten free.

ABOUT TANGO
Early tango was played by immigrants in Buenos Aires. The first generation of tango players was called "Guardia Vieja" (the Old Guard). The complex dances that arose from such rich music reflect how the men would practice the dance in groups, demonstrating male sexuality and causing a blending of emotion and aggressiveness. One of the most fascinating of all dances, the tango is a sensual ballroom dance that grew in popularity throughout Europe in the early twentieth century. Tango expresses romance, passion and temptation in improvised synchronized movements.
