It’s not too early to be thinking about that so-important dinner reservation for Valentine’s Day. If you need a little help, Open Table has named restaurants in Greenville, Columbia, Hilton Head Island and Myrtle Beach to its list of the 100 most romantic restaurants. 

They are The Library in Myrtle Beach, The Studio in Hilton Head Island and the 16 Melting Pot restaurants nationwide, including in Columbia, Greenville and Myrtle Beach. I know The Library and Melting Pot are lovely places to dine, but I’ve never had the good fortune to dine at The Studio. Still there are elegant and cozy restaurants all over South Carolina serving delicious food and providing a perfect spot for you and your sweetie.

Open Table said the list of romantic spots is based on nearly 5 million restaurant reviews over the last year. Not all restaurants would be included because many choose not to use Open Table, which is an online reservations system.
