PHILADELPHIA, PA — Couples seeking an unforgettable Valentine’s experience can look no further than Booker’s Restaurant & Bar and its neighboring Bayou Lounge in West Philadelphia. Husband-and-wife owners Tracey and Cheri Syphax are rolling out a night of indulgence with sumptuous dining, live entertainment, and sultry spoken word performances designed to spark romance.
For $85 per person, Booker’s is offering a decadent prix fixe dinner accompanied by the soulful melodies of violinist Gianna Graham. The menu features luxurious dishes such as Cajun-spiced lamb lollipops, crispy duck à l’orange, and velvet lobster bisque, with optional cocktail pairings to complement each course.
Guests can elevate their evening at the adjacent Bayou Lounge, where a $110 Dinner and Show experience adds live jazz by trumpeter Kevin Woods’s trio and sensual storytelling by Free Smith, who will delight audiences with her evocative spoken word. Two seatings are available at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.
“We feel there is something for everyone at Booker’s this Valentine’s Day,” said Cheri Syphax. “What else does one need besides delicious food, serious libations, musical entertainment, and erotic poetry?!”
The Syphaxes, whose whirlwind romance began online during the pandemic, purchased the popular neighborhood bistro in 2023 in a groundbreaking multi-million dollar deal. The couple celebrate their connection to the restaurant, which played a sentimental role in their dating history, while infusing it with their passion for community and culinary excellence.
Located at 5021 Baltimore Avenue, Booker’s serves upscale comfort food with Southern flair and is open daily for brunch and dinner. With this Valentine’s offering, the Syphaxes continue to bring innovation and heart to dining in West Philadelphia. To make reservations or learn more, click here.
