Skip the long drive. This year, plan Valentine’s Day right here in Daybreak. On SoDa Row, you can start with dinner, add something sweet, pick up a gift, and end with a lakeside stroll—without leaving the neighborhood.
Dinner & Drinks
Start with a table for two. For sushi lovers, try the patio‑friendly spot along SoDa Row—perfect for a Rebel Roll and a shared appetizer. Prefer hot and cozy? Seasonal shabu shabu hits the spot on chilly nights.
Pro tip: Make reservations early and request a window seat.
Explore dining options on the Downtown Daybreak — Shop & Dine directory.
Sweet Treats
After dinner, swing by a local bakery for cupcakes, dessert bars, or hand‑dipped chocolates. If you’re hosting at home, order a custom cake ahead so pickup is a breeze.

Flowers & Thoughtful Gifts
Keep it classic with flowers, or wander the boutiques for jewelry, home accents, or self‑care gifts. Because everything sits close together, you can compare ideas in a single loop and find something that feels personal.

Pamper the Day
Make it a full experience with a salon or spa appointment. A fresh cut, a blowout, or a relaxing treatment sets the tone, and you can walk straight to dinner afterward.
Plan a Lakeside Stroll
Finally, end the evening with a quiet walk around Oquirrh Lake. Watch the reflections, snap a photo on the dock, and enjoy the calm. Because the paths connect directly to SoDa Row, you can park once and do it all.
- Parking Use public parking along SoDa Row
- Transit Consider UTA if you’d rather not drive
- Timing Book dinner for just before sunset, then stroll the lake
