You’ve having a great romantic holiday, and now you want that special night out, maybe even a splurge on a great meal in a terrific setting!

For romantic places to eat, here’s our guide to some of the most romantic dinners available in several major cities in the USA, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle.

You’ll find restaurants, bistros, and even some listings for coffee shops great for some late-night conversation.

And if you like to be out on the water while dining, we’re getting some pages ready on romantic dinner cruises too, so be sure to check back here soon.

Of course, it would be impossible to list all of the great romantic dining locations, so we’ve combined and condensed our own experiences with others, including word of mouth, reviews and web ratings, to come up with our listings of the best romantic restaurants.

What makes for great romantic dining?

* Good food, especially local dishes
* A relaxed, quieter atmosphere
* Good service, but not “too intrusive”
* A nice view over the city or the water helps too!

Bon Appetite!
