Two valley restaurants listed among nation’s most romantic
Le Vallauris in Palm Springs and Wally’s Desert Turtle in Rancho Mirage made OpenTable’s annual list of the 100 most romantic restaurants in America released today.
Le Vallauris features a fixed-price French-focused menu. Wally’s Desert Turtle is known fpr its contemporary Californian cuisine.
The list was generated from diner reviews collected between Dec. 1, 2017, and Nov. 30, 2018. All restaurants with a minimum overall score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration, according to OpenTable, the leading provider of online restaurant reservations.
The overall score is made up of unique data points, such as overall diner rating, user klout, total number of reviews and regional overall rating. Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the percentage of reviews for which romantic was selected as a special feature.
Two other California restaurants made the list — Summit House in Fullerton and Cafe Sparrow in Aptos in Santa Cruz County.
“These 100 restaurants excel at setting the table for romance and creating intimate dining experiences at every service,” said Caroline Potter, OpenTable’s chief dining officer.
“Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with a new special someone, a spouse or even a friend, you can count on this list to find not only a restaurant with the right ambiance but also an exceptional meal.”
