These Are NYC's Most Romantic Restaurants, Study Says

NEW YORK, NEW YORK — Not sure where to take your date this Valentine's Day? TripAdvisor has you covered. The travel site has put out a list of the top ten most romantic restaurants in the city, including a few that made their national list.

The website used millions of reviews and opinions from its diners to whittle down the top spots to take your significant other. The ranking includes the quality, quantity and recency of reviews combined with the degree to which the restaurant is deemed "romantic" based on their algorithm, TripAdvisor said.

Topping New York City's list is the French, Upper East Side eatery, Daniel, which also made the top ten in TripAdvisor's most romantic restaurants around the country. The rest of the list features standouts throughout Manhattan, including everything from Italian seafood to "posh Asian-American" options, and even the dining room at the Modern Museum of Art

Take a look at where you should get your Valentine's Day meal:

1. Daniel — A spot sure to impress your date with fancy menu items like escargot and caviar.

2. Gotham Bar & Grill — A "West Village fixture," this spot offers New American plates.

3. Marea — A high-end Italian restaurant featuring seafood and housemade pastas.

4. Ai Fiori — A midtown option with gourmet food from the Italian and French Riviera.

5. The Modern — New American and French food in the dining room of the MOMA.

6. Asiate — Up-scale Asian-American food found just west of Columbus Circle.

7. Aureole — A tasting menu of New American food found right near Rockefeller Center.

8. Royal 35 Steakhouse — A steak-lovers dream in Midtown along with martinis and wine.

9. Per Se — Another Central-Park adjacent option with luxe menu options.

10. Del Posto — An Italian outpost along the High Line from chefs Joe and Lidia Bastianich.
