LONDON, Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With the most
romantic day of the year rapidly approaching, toptable, the
leading consumer destination site for restaurant bookings in the
UK, along with its parent company, OpenTable (NASDAQ:
OPEN), are pleased to reveal the 2014 Diners' Choice winners
for the Top 20 Most Romantic Restaurants in the UK. These awards
reflect the combined opinions of more than 300,000 restaurant
reviews submitted by verified toptable diners for
approximately 4,000 restaurants across the UK.
"Diners can be certain that romance is always on the menu at
each of these winning restaurants," said toptable Head of
Restaurant Relations, Lucy
Taylor.
"When it comes to Valentine's Day,
the top restaurants fill up quickly so it is always best to book
early. However, many diners still wait until the last minute and
plenty of availability can be found on toptable in our
round-up of Valentine's day specials," she added.
The Diners' Choice awards for the Top 20 Most Romantic
Restaurants in the UK are generated from more than 300,000
restaurant reviews collected from
verified toptable diners from January to December 2013. All restaurants with a minimum
number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration.
Qualifying restaurants were then sorted according to a score
calculated from each restaurant's average rating in the "romantic"
category along with a minimum "overall" rating.
