Date Night
It’s ok to forget to take out the trash on Valentine’s Day, but don’t forget to take your date out. So we are making it easy for you with this foolproof two step process. Number 1 - Dinner on the rooftop. Smoke & Cedar is a brand new steakhouse that sits on the top of the all new Muckleshoot Resort Tower. Among the country’s leading steakhouses, they are dedicated to fine libations, prime steaks and the best seafood the PNW has to offer. Did we mention they have a 270 degree view of Mt. Rainier? This restaurant sets the perfect scene for a date to remember. Try their 45 day dry aged ribeye steak with yukon gold potatoes puree and jumbo asparagus. It is amour on every plate.
Number 2 - Ditch the whole romantic movie night which is so cliche any and trade it for a night of fun. Literally live, love, and laugh at the Comedy at the Course! Right on the beautiful Auburn Golf Course, three top comedians will help you share a night of laughter with your special partner. This is an 18 only and older show affordably priced at $20 per person. So if you’re like the cucumber who said to the pickle on Valentine’s Day, “you mean a great dill to me,” then show it to your partner, by making a night to remember with love and laughter.
Roses are red, Auburn is basically red, poems are hard, Auburn! Really Auburn has it all. Chocolates, check. Flowers, check. Dinner and a show, check and check. That pretty much sums up how you can have an amazing Valentine’s Day. With so much in Auburn to make your special day actually special, you don’t need to even think about how a bottle of Vodka is cheaper than a dinner for two. Love is here and so is Auburn to make your date night easy, special, and affordable.
