Naperville Eatery Among Top 100 Romantic Restaurants In America

NAPERVILLE, IL — As Valentine's Day approaches, one of Naperville's own restaurants has been named among the top 100 most romantic dining spots in the United States, according to a recent roundup by OpenTable.

Meson Sabika was the only restaurant in Illinois to make the list, which OpenTable compiled by combing through dining reviews made by 12.4 million people between Jan. 1, 2021, and Dec. 31, 2021. The analysis included each eatery's total number of reviews, along with its overall dining rating and regional rating.

In its overview of Meson Sabika, OpenTable writes, "Whether you dine in one of the mansion’s eight dining rooms decorated in traditional Spanish decor, attend a wedding or corporate event in the pavilion, or sit out back on the patio, the cuisine of Spain and delicious drinks make for an unparalleled dining experience."

Meson Sabika is housed in a mansion that was built in 1847 on a sprawling four-acre estate. Even before OpenTable's recent roundup, the restaurant's list of accolades was extensive. In 2021, they were named among the nation's top wedding venues by The Knot. A 2019 roundup by OpenTable ranked Meson Sabika among the top 50 places in the United States to have a date.

Released on Jan. 28, OpenTable's romantic restaurant list for 2022 includes restaurants from 33 different states, with California leading the way with nearly a dozen of the top 100 eateries chosen. Click the link to read OpenTable's 2022 list of the 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America.
