FULLERTON, CA — Valentine's Day is just around the corner and, for those still wondering where to take their loved ones out to eat on Friday, OpenTable released its list of the "100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America" for 2022.

Restaurants providing the "most intimate culinary destinations" for diners made it to the list, OpenTable said. Only one restaurant in Orange County made it on to the list — Summit House in Fullerton.

To compile the list, OpenTable looked at restaurant reviews from Jan. 1, 2021, to Dec. 31, 2021, and gave each an overall school based on their overall diner rating, the total number of reviews and overall rating in the region, the restaurant reservation company said.
