A Valentine’s Day Date Made for PDA: Vaseline and Red Lobster’s Kissing Booth Experience

Love is officially in the air, and this Valentine’s Day, romance is getting a glossy finish and a side of Cheddar Bay Biscuits. If you’re tired of the same candlelit dinner routine and want a date night that feels playful, indulgent, and a little unexpected, Vaseline and Red Lobster are rewriting the rules of romance one smooch at a time.

Picture this: you and your date sliding into a cozy booth, hands brushing over baskets of warm biscuits, lips perfectly hydrated and ready for whatever the night brings. Lotioning up your body and perking up your lips is not only encouraged, it’s practically a requirement. Add a five-course seafood feast to the mix, and suddenly Valentine’s Day feels a lot more fun.

For three nights only, February 10 through 12, Vaseline and Red Lobster are debuting the Vaseline x Red Lobster Kissing Booth at the Red Lobster Times Square location. The limited-time experience blends craveable, shareable food with kiss-ready moments, creating a date night designed around closeness, PDA, and leaning all the way into the season of love.

This isn’t just dinner, it’s a full sensory experience. The brands have curated a five-course, prix-fixe menu meant to be shared, fed to one another, and enjoyed slowly. Think lingering bites, meeting in the middle, and kissing the night away under the comforting aroma of Cheddar Bay Biscuits. The vibe is intimate, playful, and a little bit cheeky, much like the crush you never expected to fall for but absolutely did.

Upon arrival, each table of two will enjoy a five-course dinner paired with a choice of two drinks selected from three event-exclusive beverage options inspired by Vaseline Lip Therapy variations. And because no kiss should ever be compromised, every reservation includes complimentary samples of the limited-edition Vaseline Valentine’s Lip Therapy line, ensuring lips stay soft, smooth, and smooch-ready from the first course to dessert.

The menu itself reads like a love letter to Red Lobster fans. Diners can start with the iconic Cheddar Bay Biscuits before moving into a Lobster Flatbread topped with Maine and langostino lobster. The indulgence continues with the new Lobster Pasta au Gratin, followed by the Lobsterfest Duo featuring two LobsterChops and a roasted Maine lobster tail. The night ends on a sweet note with the Chocolate Wave Cake, a dessert practically made for sharing bites and locking eyes across the table.

At $140 per table, plus tax and gratuity, the 90-minute experience hits that sweet spot between exclusive and accessible. It feels special without being over the top, elevated without losing its sense of humor. In a city where Valentine’s Day reservations can quickly spiral into sticker shock, this feels like a surprisingly perfect match.

Vaseline and Red Lobster are fully leaning into the idea that love doesn’t have to be serious to be meaningful. This is a date night built for couples, crushes, besties, and everything in between. It’s about connection, indulgence, and letting yourself have fun with it.

Reservations are extremely limited and available exclusively via Tock. If your Valentine’s Day plans could use a little extra gloss, a lot of lobster, and an excuse to kiss across the table, this might just be the most unexpected and irresistible date night of the season.
