Naperville’s Meson Sabika makes list of top romantic restaurants in America

Apropos of Valentine’s Day, OpenTable has released its annual list of the top 100 most romantic restaurants and Naperville’s Mesón Sabika made it. We also have some Super Bowl happenings, and you can head to Lake County for a monthlong flavor festival.

True romance

If you’re looking for a romantic dining destination any day of the year, Mesón Sabika in Naperville was recently named one of the top 100 romantic restaurants in America by online reservation site OpenTable.

Located in a mansion that dates back to 1847, the Spanish tapas-style restaurant was one of five Illinois restaurants to make the list and the only one in the suburbs.

Four Chicago restaurants — Bistronomic, Geja’s Cafe, Mon Ami Gabi and Ocean Prime — also landed on the list, which uses diner reviews and ratings as well as reservation demand in their ranking system.

The restaurant, located at 1025 Aurora Ave., opened in 1990. They said on their Facebook page that they were “thrilled” with the recognition.

“It’s an honor to be part of so many love stories and life’s special moments on our beautiful grounds,” the post read.
