Today, this place can be often noticed in lists of the most romantic places around the globe. The restaurant allows you to choose between a three-course meal and a seven-course tasting menu. Both options have fixed prices. Check the dreamy garden if the weather is nice, you won’t regret it. 

2. Raoul’s

Don’t blame us for one more French pick. In the end, France is so popular for its incredible food and romantic atmosphere. If you or your soul mate like greenery, you should definitely try this place. The restaurant dining room feels like a beautiful garden rather than a building. Luscious dishes and perfect service – this is what to expect from the evening.

4. June

An ideal place to let your soul mate feel special and loved is the Grand Salon. You will appear in an environment of luxury with silky walls and high ceilings. But the food is even more exquisite than the interior. You can try dishes by Michelin-starred chef Gabriel Kreuther. An incredible combination of French and German dishes. If you want a light cocktail, then go to Le Jardin’s outdoor setting and enjoy a refreshing drink in a very picturesque setting.

In our previous post, we explored the best dating places in New York. However, if you want to know where to invite your lover to in other cities in the US, we encourage you to check our list of top romantic restaurants in the country. We chose the best representatives of the French, American, and Italian cuisine and hope that you will enjoy this tasty journey with us. 

1. Bavette’s Bar & Boeuf

Address: 218 W. Kinzie St. (Franklin St.), Chicago, IL 60654

If you are searching for jazz-era romance, Brendan Sodikoff’s steakhouse is exactly the place you need. Leather booths and a zinc-topped bar are parts of its nice atmosphere. 

The food and drinks here won’t leave you disappointed. Try the rib-eye, bone-in filet, and the Chicago-born shrimp de jonghe – they are quite costly but definitely worth it. As a dessert take a slice of carrot cake or chocolate cream pie. Among the bar favorites, we recommend Bourbon, craft beers, and amazing cocktails that are served here.

2. Majorelle

Address: 28 E. 63rd St. (Park & Madison Aves.), New York, NY 10065

An elegant Majorelle is located in a place that used to be a post house before. The interior is decorated with greenery and flowers that make up a lovely and quiet atmosphere. As for food, you can be sure to find fine French dishes with Mediterranean influences. Ask the sommelier for recommendations. They have a great choice of French wines, some of which are very hard to find. 

3. Saddle Peak Lodge

Address: 419 Cold Canyon Rd., Calabasas, CA 91302

This restaurant has a story to tell. The old building used to be a Pony Express Lodge, a hunting lodge, and a bordello before becoming the Saddle Peak Lodge we know today. The dining room with a rustic fireplace and the bar is decorated with vintage guns and fishing rods. The interior can even boast about a small waterfall on the terrace, cacti, and other plants. 

Among our picks from the menu, there is pork belly with Vietnamese flavors, the Chef’s Game Trio, and a huckleberry bread pudding.

4. State of Grace

Address: 3258 Westheimer Rd. (River Oaks Blvd.), Houston, TX 77098

Chef Ford Fry went back to his birthplace, met a local chef Bobby Matos, and together they created a masterpiece combining the spirit of old-time Houston restaurants with the vibes of modern raw bars. The best seats are located at the chef’s counter in the kitchen and just close to the big bay window. We recommend you begin the evening with hushpuppies and cold oysters. Then you can proceed with twice-fried Korean chicken, burgers, or pasta. Don’t forget to try our special pick – sticky toffee pudding with malt ice cream and Texas-made liquors.

5. The Willows Inn

Address: 2579 W. Shore Dr. (Melcher Rd.), Lummi Island, WA 98262

If you want to taste a bit of Scandinavian style, go to the Willows Inn. The dining room is quite simple but elegant. 

The food is full of inventive combinations and new unanticipated textures. To try something really special, order the “herb tostada,” which is a colorful bouquet of edible plants found around the island. And don’t forget to check strawberries with wild chamomile cream and anise hyssop ice cream and lavender – you will never forget this date, we promise.

6. Allora

Address: 5215 Folsom Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95819

Why not try some Italian seafood? Give a go to a Michelin-recognized Italian restaurant, Allora. You will enjoy the taste of the sea and feel the spirit of Italy right here, in California. Of course, the real treasures are hand-made pasta and a collection of Italian wine. 

7. Mystic Fish

Address: 3253 Tampa Rd, Palm Harbor, FL 34684

One more place for seafood lovers is the Mystic Fish Seafood Grill and Bar. The interior with film sculptures, seashells, and aquariums create a nice romantic atmosphere for a relaxing evening. The prices are quite affordable and the quality is very good. Treat your soul mate to fresh and creative dishes made of seafood accompanies by tasty wine and homemade desserts.  

8. Altius

Address: 1230 Grandview Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15211

Are you a fan of organic wine? Then invite your bae to dinner at Altius. The collection of organic and sustainable wine is great here. Here, you can enjoy perfectly cooked dishes while watching modern surroundings and a scenic view of the city.

Many Frisco residents believe that Pizza Giovanni serves the best pizza in town. While you order Neapolitan food, a jazz band is performing nearby in the Club Deluxe bar and club. The only disadvantage of this separation of the bar and restaurant is that you will have to order drinks in Club Deluxe, and food in Pizza Giovanni. Go to “Giovanni” if you have a “musical” mood and desire to taste delicious pizza with cold drinks.

If you are visiting San Francisco for the first time, you should definitely wander through the lively and beautiful streets of Fisherman’s Wharf (Fisherman’s Wharf area). Despite the abundance of tourists, it is quite possible to find here excellent fish and seafood dishes at reasonable prices. It is quite pleasant to stand in a busy place with a crab sandwich, looking at the people walking along the Fisherman’s Wharf and smelling the ocean.

But it is even more enjoyable to enjoy exquisite fish delicacies in the relaxed atmosphere of the family-run Fog Harbor Fish House on the famous Pier 39. Fog Harbor Restaurant offers beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay Area, excellent service and a wide variety of fish and seafood dishes. Those who are cool about the gifts of the seas will find meat and chicken dishes in Fog Harbor.

In the vicinity of Lower Haight, you will find the Ethiopian restaurant Axum. Even if the atmosphere of this institution is not very remarkable, the food is worthy of the closest attention. For vegetarians, there are many Ethiopian dishes with mushrooms, lentils, potatoes, cabbage, etc. Everything is prepared according to traditional recipes. Meat lovers will find lamb, beef and chicken dishes at Axum Cafe.

Ethiopian cuisine is fun and exciting. Here you and your friends can plunge your hands into the same big plate! This may seem unpleasant to some, but if you have clean hands, then try to enjoy this procedure! It’s like going back to childhood again. And the most delicious leftovers can be removed from the plate with a slice of fragrant injder bread.

The Italian restaurant Beretta is also located in Mishin District. The establishment is distinguished by a very modern and, at the same time, classic and warm atmosphere. Having visited “Beretta” you will definitely return here for amazingly tasty and nutritious pizza, aromatic risotto and amazing cocktails. I am glad that almost all dishes are prepared exclusively from organic ingredients. Beretta Restaurant also offers vegetarian and vegan menus.

You don’t have to travel to Mexico to taste tacos and enchilados. And in the USA you can get acquainted with the excellent authentic Mexican cuisine. El Metate’s menu has many inexpensive Mexican dishes including quesadilla (cheese tortilla), fish tacos, tortillas soups, chicken / meat / shrimp buritos and more.

This is not a Tex-Mex, which is considered to be Mexican cuisine in Europe. Not at all, it really is the best Mexican food you can find in Frisco, if not all of the States. El Metate Restaurant is located in Mission District.

Address: 2406 Bryant St, San Francisco, CA 94110
