Catacombs, an eatery below Bube's Brewery in Mount Joy, has guests descend 43 feet below the ground for a candlelight dinner in the brewery’s old stone aging cellars.

It landed fourth overall on the list.

The other establishments that landed in the top five of the list include:

1. The Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar in San Francisco, a tiki-themed restaurant in San Francisco with a huge central lagoon and floating stage where simulated tropical storms roll through between courses.

2. The Yurt at Solitude Mountain Resort in Utah, where guests have to snowshoe through a moonlight forest to the yurt, where a chef will prepare a meal at their table(this spot is open only seasonally, from December through April).

3. The Airplane Restaurant in Colorado Springs, which is housed in a Boeing KC-97 tanker built in 1953. The plane flew all over the world before being decommissioned in 2002.

5. Enoteca Maria, a Staten Island eatery that doesn’t have a regular chef but hires “Nonnas of the World” — grandmothers from around the globe — to cook their best dishes for a menu that changes daily. The cuisine is so good it has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand label.
