We're definitely in the camp that says don't go out to dinner on Valentine's Day; we stay in and cook something special that night. That being said, we do like to go out either the weekend before or the weekend after the actual day - you get the restaurant's standard menu and service, but you can still enjoy the spirit of the holiday.

Even when we have a pile of laundry in the other room, it's STILL more romantic than going out.
