A cozy booth. Linen tablecloths. Candlelight. Soft music. All the basic elements needed for a romantic date-night dinner, right?
Sure, but this is South Florida, and we’re a little bit (OK, very!) extra. So add in waterfront or rooftop views, immersive experiences or other completely outside-the-box ideas.
With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away on Feb. 14 (yes, it’s a Saturday this year, so even more pressure to get those coveted reservations), we’re inspired to seek out the best romantic restaurant for the first topic in our 2026 Best of South Florida Dining series.
We’re looking for the best swoon-worthy spots in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties to take your sweetheart for a memorable meal.
As always, we leave the floor open to you, our readers, to nominate your favorite restaurants and then we’ll put the Top 5 places up for a vote later.
To submit your nomination, fill out the form below (or click here if you can’t see it). You have until Wednesday, Feb. 11, to make your voice heard.
Don’t forget to tell us what makes the restaurant a romantic spot. Is it the food, ambiance or something else? We want to hear all about it. Plus, your comments may be featured in future stories.
