How long would you wait to be seated at a restaurant on Valentine's Day?

I'm not sure about anywhere else, but in the United States, every good restaurant, and often even the crummier ones, are packed full on Valentine's Day, some of the point to where the patrons are extending the line out the door and around the building! There can be anywhere from an hour wait time to even up to three hours! So, realistically how long would you be willing to wait for a good restaurant on Valentine's Day? Would you call weeks in advance and make reservations while you could? Would you celebrate on a different day so as to miss the rush? Personally, I prefer to avoid the rush and celebrate on a different day. After all, who cares on what day you do it. All that matters is that you love your significant other, whoever he or she may be, and that you show each other. Valentine's Day does indeed have meaning, but one can observe it whenever they wish. I'd just stay home with a bottle of Bailey's or something like that and go out to eat on another day. No way I'm going to those madhouses! What about all of you? Do you celebrate Valentine's Day where you live? What do you generally do, and, as is the title of this discussion, how long would you be willing to wait to be seated at a restaurant on Valentine's Day?
