Whether you’re planning a casual date or celebrating something special, I’ve found that Boston has no shortage of romantic restaurants to fit the mood. I’ve sat at cozy outdoor tables between sightseeing stops, and you can too—it’s such a nice way to slow down and enjoy the city. If you’re up for a full evening out, I always suggest finding a place where you can try something new and unwind over a good glass of wine. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
