The River Café.

Located under the Brooklyn Bridge, The River Café is one of NYC’s top romantic waterfront dining spots. Adorned with flowers the restaurant has a fairy-tale quality. In full transparency, the pricing isn’t for the faint of heart — it’ll run you around $200 per person to dine here.

However, for an anniversary, engagement, or celebration The River Café is one of the most romantic restaurants in New York City. The food comes in a prix fixe, three-course menu with options like lamb, venison, and swordfish available as main courses.

And unlike other date night restaurants in NYC where you pay for the location more than food, The River Café’s cuisine is nothing to scoff at. It has a Michelin Star! Tables can be booked up to a year in advance and reservations are strongly encouraged.

Something to note: Collared shirts and jackets are required for men, and ties are preferred. Jeans, athletic wear, and sandals are not allowed.

The place feels like it’s been copied and pasted out of a Disney movie thanks to the abundance of flowers and immaculate presentation.
