Valantino’s new owner heats it up

Lake Orion’s Valentino’s located in the historical downtown area has new owner and he’s the kind of guy that loves when people talk about his food. Louie Yakob, aka Chef Louie has added more steak dishes since he came on board in January and he’s tweaked his menu to make sure he’s serving just what his customers want. Old Valentino’s regulars shouldn’t fear, however, because whether it’s on or off the menu, the old menu items are almost all available on request. But whether it’s a regular or a new customer, anyone will notice the new d’cor with new glasses, paint job, chandeliers, menus and a new chef. Anyone who wants to try out the newly owned Valentino’s can visit the restaurant from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Mon-Thurs, 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday.
