As 2024 unfolds, many couples are looking for the perfect spot to rekindle their romance over a delicious meal. The OpenTable list of the 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America offers a top recommendation that’s not too far from home. Kaamil Jones noted it for NBC10 Philadelphia.

OpenTable determined the restaurants that provide the best romantic dining experience by analyzing more than 13 million reviews, and 1906 at Longwood Gardens made the cut.

It’s less than a 30-mile drive from Montgomery County.

Named in honor of the year Pierre S. du Pont purchased the grounds that were developed into Longwood Gardens, 1906 offers fresh, seasonal fare with a focus on locally sourced and sustainable ingredients for an unparalleled dining experience.

This Kennett Square gem offers a unique chance to take in the beautiful gardens while enjoying a romantic dinner with a menu that includes plenty of meals with mushrooms.

“We have a wonderful tradition of dining here and enjoying the Christmas displays for the new year,” wrote one reviewer. “The food is always delicious, and we love the mushroom soup. Their menu is always impressive with chef specials as well. We look forward to the special dessert, the delicious and fun Pomme de Noel. The warm spiced wine was a nice addition this year and tastes like Christmas cheer in a glass!”
