OpenTable Reveals Top 25 Most Romantic Cities in America for 2017

Food trends may come and go, but our data indicates that Americans continue to have an appetite for romantic dining.  In order to provide a ranking of cities where romantic dining is inherently part of the culture, the OpenTable Most Romantic Cities Index was calculated using three variables: the percentage of restaurants rated "romantic" according to OpenTable diner reviews; the percentage of tables seated for two; and the percentage of people who dined out for Valentine's Day in 2016. 

"Food is the universal language of love, so it's not surprising that romance and dining go hand in hand," said Caroline Potter, Chief Dining Officer of OpenTable. "Diners in the cities on this year's list, from uber-hip Brooklyn to steamy Miami Beach, are seeking out delicious, intimate dining experiences and proving that romance is alive and well across the nation."

The following cities, listed in order, comprise the 25 Most Romantic Cities in America for 2017. The complete list may also be viewed at https://www.opentable.com/m/25-most-romantic-cities-in-america-for-2017/.
