If you’re not much of a planner or just find the whole planning process a little stress-inducing, we’ve got you. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a surprise dinner, celebrating a holiday, or getting ready to pop the big question – this list is filled with all kinds of restaurants to perfectly suit your special occasion.
When you have an enormous amount of love for someone, it can be intimidating to pick the perfect spot to express how much you care. Be relieved knowing that this list is dialed in, and also know that wherever you eat does NOT have to be a reflection of your adoration and can instead be a way to celebrate it (if you so choose).
With all of that said, here are some amazing restaurants to celebrate that special occasion!
