Valentine’s Day is just two short weeks away!  If you haven’t planned your big night out yet, this list might offer some inspiration, with restaurants from New York, New York to Chattanooga, Tennessee to Waikapu, Hawaii. The Pink Door in Seattle tops this year’s list as the most romantic with Yelpers raving about its perfect date night ambiance. While New American restaurants dominate the list, Italian and seafood are all popular date night cuisines, according to Yelp data.

To help you make your Valentine’s Day plans, we’ve indicated which of our Top 100 Most Romantic Restaurants for 2020 lets you book a reservation directly from their Yelp page and which let you get in line remotely for any last minute planners. If you’re looking for more reservation options for the special day, search for restaurants on Yelp and filter by reservation availability.
