New York Events

With Valentine's Day less than a week away, we thought it'd be appropriate to review some of the country's most romantic restaurants. Though couples find them idyllic spots for candlelit dinners for two, meeting and event planners can also make the most of the unmatched elegance and top-notch cuisine at these venues, each sure to impress groups of all sizes.

Take a look at some of Mobil Travel Guide's top picks:

Fleur de Lys

After a 10-month renovation following a devastating kitchen fire, this landmark San Francisco restaurant emerged with an luxurious redesign featuring 800 yards of custom-designed fabric, Limoges and Rosenthal china, and fragrant floral blooms. Host an event in style at the restaurant's Salon Room, with room for up to 25 guests, or private Wine Room, with room for up to 16 guests. The entire restaurant is also a great San Francisco banquet facility for functions of up to 105 people.

Les Nomades

Groups of up to 44 guests can enjoy the intimacy and fine French cuisine offered at Les Nomades restaurant in Chicago. With wood-burning fireplaces and original artwork, this former private club serves up classics with a twist such as roasted venison loin with sherry brown butter sauce and Angus beef fillet with sunchoke potato gratin.

One if by Land, Two if by Sea

Thanks to the soft piano music, flickering candles, and vases stocked with fresh flowers, the well-reputed New York restaurant One if by land, Two if by Sea is commonly known as one of the most romantic in the country. Among exposed brick, fireplaces and shimmering chandeliers, guests to New York events can settle into a night of pure elegance as they enjoy the restaurant's Mediterranean fare.

The Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta

One of only 16 restaurants in the country to receive the Mobil Five Star Award, The Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton is the perfect spot for private events in Atlanta. A la carte and tasting menus of French cuisine are complemented by an impressive 600-bottle wine cellar at the restaurant. The chef's table offers a great view of the display kitchen to up to 10 guests, but the adjacent salon is an ideal venue for up to 20 attendees to enjoy an intimate, private meeting.
