We Asked. You Answered. Top Romantic Restaurants for Valentine's Day
A few of our readers have weighed in....
One person said: "It would have to be a quite, smaller out of the way kinda place, probably French, and would be willing to prep the table for you ahead of time with Roses, present etc."
One if by Land Two if by Sea, New York City
This West Village restaurant came up often as one of the BEST choices for Valentine's Day. Once Aaron Burr's carriage house, One if by Land Two if by Sea is renown for its old-world charm and ambiance, think fireplace, high-ceilings and chandeliers, amazing service and elegant dishes. And for the die-hard romantic, this restaurant is known as THE place to pop-the-question.
Le Bernadin, NYC.
Another favorite of many is Le Bernadin. Noted for impeccable service, beautifully presented dishes, and of course the executive chef Eric Ripert. And let's not forget Le Bernadin boasts a three-star Michelin rating. One of our responses: "Hands down....Le Bernadin. The BEST in the city for a truly romantic experience with outstanding food every time--they never let you down."
Geoffrey's, Malibu California
If you love sun, sand and sea, this place is for you, with incredible views of the Pacific ocean, you can enjoy a romantic brunch or a cozy candlelit dinners with surrounding fire pits, one response: "Geoffrey's of Malibou...pretty spectacular".
Convivio, New York City
If Italian Food is your favorite fare, Convivio was a top contender for consideration on Valentine's Day. Convivio is best known for outstanding pasta dishes and authentic Southern Italian fare. Here are two reviews by two of my favorite magazines: Gourmet.com and Food & Wine;
"Sheer Genius." -- DANA COWIN / FOOD & WINE
"Nobody else in New York is cooking these authentic Southern Italian dishes." -- RUTH REICHL / GOURMET.COM

Hi Rhenicia, you're welcome! While the restaurants featured here (and in upcoming posts) are some of our reader's favorites, its no secret that you will most likely have a much better dining experience any other night of they year. Not always, but Valentine's Day restaurant experiences are often notorious for bad service and perhaps even inconsistent quality of the food due to the high volume of guests on this celebrated evening of love. Although some of the better restaurants (with years of experience) usually have it down pat. Here's to a great experience when you do decide to go.
