Looking for Valentine’s Day plans? These NJ restaurants are the ‘most romantic’

Four restaurants in New Jersey are included in OpenTable's list of the "top 100 romantic restaurants" in the country for 2025.

To create its list, the restaurant website analyzed more than 10 million reviews and scores from diners over a 12-month period. Reviews with the tag "romantic" helped OpenTable determine which restaurants should be part of the conversation.

The OpenTable list does not rank the top restaurants from 1 to 100. The list, released just in time for Valentine's Day, is presented in alphabetical order by state.
