Restaurant reservation platform OpenTable has released its 2026 list of Top 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America, just in time for Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14.
There’s just one restaurant on the list in North Texas, and it’s located in Uptown Dallas.
Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille – Park District is Dallas-Fort Worth’s sole representative on OpenTable’s Most Romantic list.
With sweeping views of Klyde Warren Park and downtown Dallas, the restaurant is also known as a go-to for business lunches and is popular for its pork chop special on Fridays.
OpenTable’s methodology involved analyzing more than 9 million diner reviews and other metrics from Dec. 1, 2024, to Nov. 30, 2025. Restaurants met a minimum diner review threshold to be considered. Key metrics included diner ratings, the percentage of five-star reviews, the number of alerts set, the percentage of reservations made in advance, percentage of capacity and direct searches. Qualifying restaurants were then ranked by the percentage of reviews with the tag “romantic.”
The pork chop is a beloved dish at Perry’s Steakhouse and Grille, Dallas’ most romantic restaurant, according to OpenTable.

A handful of other Texas restaurants made the list, which had representation from most states, in addition to Puerto Rico.
In Austin, Michelin-Recommended Jeffrey’s from restaurant group MMH Hospitality, which is bringing a few of its concepts to D-FW, was among the Most Romantic picks. The list also included an Austin location of Truluck’s Ocean’s Finest Seafood and Crab; Houston’s Pappas Bros. Steakhouse – Galleria; and San Antonio’s Bohanan’s Prime Steaks and Seafood.
