Top 10 Romantic Restaurants in New York City

Sometimes we all need a little help when it comes time to impress a date. Certain restaurants may please the tongue and fill the belly but don't tug on our emotions. The selections we have gathered here have that certain something—perhaps a light-speckled patio, or a roving musician, or inspirational garden—that can wow a date, and put them in the mood to satisfy other appetites. Presented in alphabetical order, here are the top ten romantic restaurants in New York.

de Santos

Review of the Week

Located on a leafy West Village block, de Santos is a restaurant project from Alex Gonzalez, the drummer of a popular Mexican rock band. The real star of the show here, however, is chef Aldo Alo, who prepares memorable dishes like trofiette with mushrooms, garlic and shaved Parmigiano. After your meal, make it a Dinner and a Movie night with one of our featured films.
