Lagos Has a Special Treat for Valentine’s Day Diners
Those celebrating at restaurants Le Coucou in New York City or Talula’s Garden in Philadelphia will receive a surprise.

The company owns 36 restaurants, including upscale eateries Le Coucou in New York City and Talula’s Garden in Philadelphia, the city in which the jewelry brand has its corporate headquarters.
These two restaurants are serving up a Valentine’s Day exclusive, offering diners a special gift at the end of their meal.
They will receive a surprise gift, chosen at random, of a complimentary glass of champagne or dessert, a proverb, or a sterling silver and 18-karat gold necklace from Lagos’ “Beloved” collection.
The necklace features the brand’s signature “Caviar” beading style and its crest. The small two-tone lock necklace retails for $325 on Lagos’ website.
“Jewelry is a treasured gift that lasts forever,” said Jamie Harris, vice president of public relations at Lagos. “So too, are the memories made over a delicious meal. It’s our pleasure to help marry the two for an unforgettable Valentine’s Day.”
Randi Sirkin, Starr’s vice president of creative services, said, “We are committed to offering our guests unique and exciting dining experiences. With this exclusive keepsake from Lagos, and our world-class fare, we continue to deliver on that promise.”
