LAKEWOOD, OH — Valentine's Day will arrive shortly and Johnny-come-late planners still have time to make reservations. To that end, OpenTable has released a list of the eight most romantic restaurants in Ohio, including Pier W in Lakewood.

The list was compiled using more than 12 million verified reviews submitted by OpenTable diners for over 26,000 restaurants across the country. According to OpenTable, American flavors dominate at these restaurants but Italian and French cuisines are also popular.

Ohio, along with North Carolina and Virginia, had the most number of romantic restaurants on the list. OpenTable says their list “features an assortment of intimate restaurants located on charming properties that provide the perfect backdrop for the occasion.”

The Ohio restaurants that made the list are:

• Chez Francois, Vermilion
• Orchids at Palm Court, Cincinnati
• The Precinct, Cincinnati

According to OpenTable’s insights, the best time to have made a reservation for your Valentine’s Day meal was over the past weekend. If you haven’t gotten your reservation yet you still have time, but don’t wait too long. In 2017, 40 percent of diners made their reservation in the week leading up the holiday.
