My Vintage Valentine’s Dinner Show
01.22.20
The Queen Mary presents an unforgettable evening of romance and old-world glamour at My Vintage Valentine’s Dinner Show on Friday, February 14. Selling out each year, the two seating times will offer a signature four-course dinner and special show featuring burlesque beauties, French cancan dancers, acrobats, and more.
Once My Vintage Valentine guests are seated for dinner, the evening’s host will introduce the performers and accompanying love story, with a new act appearing on stage with each course of the meal. The tantalizing costumes and stunning ambiance will create the perfect romantic setting as the entertainment dazzles from the stage.
The four-course signature dinner menu features a vine ripe tomato caprese salad to begin, an intermezzo champagne sorbet to clear the palate, a choice of asiago crusted organic chicken breast, pan-roasted sea bass, grilled filet mignon or grilled tofu and vegetable napoleon for the main course, and a red velvet heart cake served with chocolate strawberries and chantilly cream for the dessert finale.
My Vintage Valentine offers two seating times, the first at 6 p.m. for $275 per couple and second seating at 9 p.m. at $295 per couple. Tickets are sold in pairs only, and seating is first-come, first-served.
