Just in time for Valentine’s Day, TripAdvisor is back with another restaurant roundup—the "25 Most Romantic Restaurants in the U.S," according to a study based on the site’s data. If you haven’t planned your big night out yet, this list might offer some inspiration, with restaurants from Maui, Hawaii (one of three Hawaii winners on the list) to Townsend, Tennessee. Charleston Grill (not to be confused with Charleston Restaurant in Baltimore) in Charleston, South Carolina was ranked most romantic for its great service and classy vibe: TripAdvisor diners say “from the moment you walk through the door, you feel so special."

Also in the top three? Café Monarch in Scottsdale, Arizona, which serves New American cuisine, and Bohanan’s Prime Steaks and Seafood in San Antonio, Texas (according to reviewers, the ribeye is a must).

Here’s how TripAdvisor crunched the numbers: all restaurants that made the list scored a minimum 4.5/5 rating, have five locations or less, and received at least 100 new reviews between now and last January. The quality of the reviews were also take into account, and the “romantic factor” of the restaurant was based on an algorithm.
