2 Philadelphia Restaurants Ranked Among Nation's Most Romantic

PHILADELPHIA — With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, two Philadelphia restaurants have been ranked among the nation’s most romantic in 2025.

Reservation service OpenTable released its 2025 iteration of the Top 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America, an elite list developed from more than 12 million diner reviews and other metrics, the site said.

The list was compiled by analyzing more than 10 million diner reviews, along with diner ratings, reservation demand, percentage of five-star reviews among other factors.

The two Philly restaurants on the list are Butcher & Singer and SkyHigh, atop the Comcast Center.

Here's what OpenTable says about Butcher & Singer:

Butcher & Singer, in the amazing historic location of 1500 Walnut, is an intimate and sophisticated dining experience in a relaxed clubhouse setting. We brought back the true classics from perfect Manhattans and Sidecars to hand-cut steaks and chops, and freshly caught fish. Timeless and fun for all in the continued age of the American chophouse.

The Stephen Starr steakhouse has 4.9 stars based on 632 reviews on OpenTable.

And this is what OpenTable wrote about SkyHigh:

Philadelphia's SkyHigh restaurant presents a chic and comfortable dining experience specializing in approachable Jean-Georges cuisine. Experience panoramic views and world-class service.

SkyHigh has 4.7 stars from 585 reviews on OpenTable.

The two restaurants were among five Pennsylvania eateries to make the list. The others were the Belvedere Restaurant and Bar in Lancaster, and Altius and Monterey Bay Fish Grotto, both in Pittsburgh.

The full list includes restaurants in 34 states and Puerto Rico. States with the most restaurants on the list were California with 11, Ohio with 9, and Florida and Virginia with six each.

One thing to keep in mind. Reservations book up quickly, with about half gone two weeks before Valentine’s Day, according to OpenTable.
