These Are The ‘100 Most Romantic Restaurants In America’ Aka Best Dinners To Get Laid This Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I know this because my inbox is already full from people pitching me gift ideas and date ideas and basically everything under the Sun that has to do with Valentine’s Day (and that I don’t give two shits about). So far the ONLY Valentine’s Day news to actually catch my eye is this list of the ‘100 Most Romantic Restaurants In America’ released by the online reservation service OpenTable.com, because if you bros know anything about me it’s that I love eating as much as I love sleeping (and fishing).

And while I’ll never tell you bros that you should take Valentine’s Day seriously, in fact I’ll actively encourage you to find a chick who thinks that Valentine’s Day is bullshit, I DO LOVE TO EAT. That’s why I’m stoked to share this list of romantic restaurants with you bros, because not only will the food be off the chain the AMBIANCE of these restaurants is all you need to set the mood. Don’t bother wasting your money at these places (or anywhere) on Valentine’s Day with a tasting menu, hit them up on an off day when the chef is churning out his best dishes and the restaurant isn’t slammed. That’s where your bread is buttered….So without further ado, here’s the list (methodology below):

Here’s how OpenTable.com formulated this list:

The list of the 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America is generated from more than 5 million restaurant reviews collected from verified OpenTable diners between December 7, 2014, and December 6, 2015. All restaurants with a minimum “overall” score and number of qualifying reviews were then sorted according to Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the percentage of qualifying reviews for which “romantic” was selected as a special feature. “

Based on this methodology, the following restaurants, listed in alphabetical order, comprise the 2016 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America, according to OpenTable diners

Now I’ve never in my life left a review on TripAdvisor or Yelp, but I HAVE left quite a few reviews on OpenTable (and occasionally Facebook). So I’m inclined to trust OpenTable as it’s a service that I’m intimately familiar with. And now that that’s out of the way I’ve got A LOT of eating to do, as I’ve only been to like 2 places on this list.
