SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- As temperatures
drop, relationships tend to heat up. With fall in full leafy swing,
that can only mean one thing: cuffing season is upon us.
OpenTable, the world's leading provider of online restaurant
reservations and part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG),
today released its first-ever list of the 50 Best Restaurants
for a Date in America for 2019. Perfect for finding the best
date night eatery, this list is guaranteed to help people find the
perfect date spot just in time for cuffing season as singletons
start looking to couple up.
Featuring restaurants in 21 states and Washington, D.C., Illinois, Nevada and Texas are tied for the most honored state with
six restaurants featured on the list each. Georgia boasts four honorees, with
Arizona, California, Florida and Pennsylvania following suite with three each.
Additional states represented on this year's list are Alabama, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin. Whether you're craving a
Parisian-themed evening at Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas or a romantic setting paired with
seafood at Catch LA, the 50 Best Restaurants for a Date list is
guaranteed to have something that'll have you both drooling.
The list comes on the heels of OpenTable's partnership with
Hinge, the relationship app designed to be deleted, that found
through an OpenTable commissioned survey* that 86 percent of
respondents find it stressful to select the perfect date spot. 81
percent of Hinge users agreed and claimed that they wish it were
less stressful to find a date night restaurant. Hinge and OpenTable
are also releasing a 'Date Night Matchmaker' feature to help diners
find the perfect date spot.
"Given the added stress daters face when looking for the right
restaurant, we wanted to create a go-to list that offers a
restaurant for any date - whether it's your first or
one-thousandth," said Anna Besse,
Director of Marketing at OpenTable. "And for a more personalized
experience, diners can turn to our 'Date Night Matchmaker' feature
for a no-fret way to find the perfect restaurant based on their
specific dining preferences."
OpenTable's list of the 50Best Restaurants for a Date in America
is generated solely from diner reviews collected between
September 1, 2018 and August 31, 2019. All restaurants with a minimum
"overall" rating and number of qualifying reviews were included for
consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted
according to the sum of tags spanning "GoodForDates" or "Good for a
Date" as a percentage of total reviews.
Based on this methodology, the 50 Best Restaurants for A Date in
America for 2019 according to OpenTable diners, are in alphabetical

About Hinge
Hinge is the dating app for people who
want to get off dating apps. In today's digital world, singles are
so busy matching that they're not actually connecting, in person,
where it counts. Hinge is on a mission to change that. So we built
an app that's designed to be deleted. On Hinge, there are no rules,
timers, or games. Instead, you'll meet your most compatible matches
and you'll have unique conversations over what you've shared on
your detailed profile. It's a natural way to find a great first
date. Currently, we're setting up a date every 4 seconds, 3 out of
4 times users want to go on a second date, and last year we became
the fastest growing dating app in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
