With Valentine’s Day just two weeks away, it’s not too early to start making plans with your loved one. Below are a few dining options available in Ponte Vedra to make you day extra special.

Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa

Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa may be the perfect place to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year.

In addition to taking a romantic stroll around the Audubon-rated grounds, the resort offers guests the opportunity to kick back and relax at the Sawgrass Spa (gift certificates available) and enjoy a prix fixe menu at Vernon’s First Coast Kitchen.

Available Feb. 14 from 6 to 9 p.m., the prix fixe menu is comprised of Vernon’s most popular dishes, all of which are created from locally sourced ingredients. Executive Chef Joe Natoli and his team even use honey produced by the resort’s own bee colonies and produce harvested from the property’s microfarm. The dinner is $58 per person. Here’s a quick look at the prix fixe menu:

• First course: Beef carpaccio or broken burrata
• Second course: Trader Hill Farm greens or fisherman’s cioppino stew
• Third course: House aged New York strip or diver sea scallops or pan-seared chicken or black grouper
• Fourth course: Sweet finale
