“We craft this list every year to help diners looking for inspiration for the most popular date night of the year,” said Jessica Jensen, senior vice president of marketing at OpenTable, in a press release. “Whether it’s a special night with your significant other, a girls night out, or your first outing with someone new, these restaurants have passed the test of setting the table for exceptional ambiance and an incredible meal.”

OpenTable generated the 2020 list based solely from dinner reviews collected between Dec. 1, 2018, and Nov. 30, 2019. To be included, all the restaurants needed a minimum overall score and a certain number of qualifying reviews.

The qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the percentage of reviews, for which “romantic” was selected as a special feature.

The full list of romantic restaurants is available on OpenTable.
