Our Proprietary Date Score System

Unlike traditional star ratings that focus on general dining quality, our Date Score is specifically designed to evaluate how perfect a restaurant is for romantic date nights. We use a sophisticated weighted algorithm that considers six key factors that matter most to couples.

Ambiance & Vibe Signals

30%

We analyze social comments, website copy, photos, and reviews for romantic keywords like "cozy," "candlelit," "intimate," "rooftop view," "live music," and "soft lighting" to identify truly romantic atmospheres.

Social Buzz & Sentiment

20%

We measure how often restaurants are mentioned in couple-focused social content and analyze the sentiment of those mentions, including engagement rates and follower demographics.

Occasion Fit

15%

We track how often users mention date-specific contexts like "anniversary," "first date," "proposal," "engagement," and "birthday dinner" while filtering out work or family dining mentions.

Quality & Popularity

15%

We consider Google and Yelp ratings, review volume, rating trends over time, and the frequency of new reviews to ensure consistent quality.

Freshness & Momentum

10%

We track recent positive social activities, new mentions in the last 30 days, trending posts, new openings, and media coverage to identify restaurants with current buzz.

Practical Date Night Factors

10%

We evaluate reservation availability, price appropriateness for date nights, noise levels, operating hours, and location accessibility to ensure a smooth romantic experience.

Our Story

Date Night Restaurants was born from a simple observation: finding the perfect restaurant for a romantic evening in Los Angeles can be surprisingly difficult. With thousands of dining options across the city, couples often spend more time researching restaurants than actually enjoying their date night.

We started by creating a personal list of our favorite romantic spots, but quickly realized that other couples could benefit from our research. What began as a passion project has grown into a comprehensive guide to romantic dining in Los Angeles.

Today, we're proud to help thousands of couples discover their new favorite date night destinations, from intimate wine bars in Silver Lake to elegant fine dining in Beverly Hills.
