In addition to the special Valentine's Day selections, Yard House's signature American Fusion fare, also laden with aphrodisiacs, will be available allowing guests to mix and match their courses as they choose. Yard House is also open for late-night kanoodling and dining. Chef Jocson purposely selected foods with a reputation for arousing the libido, such as seafood and herbs. Many of the seasonings are also believed to ignite passion once ingested. Legend claims that truffles make women more yielding and men more amiable; ancient Egyptians priests abstained from onions because of their lusty reputation; and rice is a symbol of fertility, which is why newlyweds are showered with grains.

Besides food, beverages also have reputations for increasing the libido including beer. With Yard House boasting what is believed to be the world's largest draft beer system--100 to 250 handles--love is most definitely on tap.

While many restaurants have strict reservation policies on Valentine's Day, such as reserving tables with a credit card and charging cancellation and no-show fees, Yard House has taken the pressure off twosomes by seating all guests on a first come, first-served basis. In addition, guests also have the flexibility of ordering an entire meal or nothing more than dessert and coffee.

Yard House is located at The Village at Gulfstream Park, the Village of Merrick Park and in Palm Beach Gardens. Restaurants open daily at 11am for lunch, dinner and late-night dining. For more information, call 800.336.5336 or take a virtual visit at www.yardhouse.com.
