Saratoga Springs Romantic Restaurants

Its hard to cover all the romantic places in Saratoga in one place but here are a few of our recommendations.   On Valentines Day, you will need to book early as these are some of  the capital districts most poplular and best restaurants. 

First on the list is One Caroline Street an awesome little bistro just off Broadway.  This is the perfect place for a music lover as they have terrific live music most nights.   The tables are a little snug which makes this a great date plae but maybe not the place to pop the question.  

Mouzon House is owned by the same people and offers a very intimate settings as the restaurant is a converted Victorian home.   There are several small dining rooms many of them only able to fit a few people.   

The Wine Bar on Broadway is on everyone's list as a romantic place for nite cap or to start the evening but its also got a great dinner menu.  This one should make the short list for Valentines Day. 

In the arts district is The Beekman Street Bistro.  Here Chef Tim Meaney serves up some of Saratoga’s absolute best cuisine almost all of which is prepared from locally grown farms.   Beekman Street Bistro has a small but charming dining room and a great wine list. 

Dine restaurant and bar is located on Henry Street near congress park in Saratoga Springs.   Known for a unique blend of american, french and italian cuisines Dine is consistently a highly rated capital district eatery.   The intimate dining room and cool bar is a great place for a romantic Valentines Dinner.

Slitghlty off the beaten path is Bloomers which is located on a stretch of Route 9 near exit 13 called the Ridge.   Bloomers serves up a highly eclectic mix of original dishes ranging from seatood to duck to steaks,  pork and veal chops.  The menu changes frequently but is consistenly fantastic.   The restaurant is a converted diner which doesn’t look like much from the outside but you won’t be dissapointed.    Two dining rooms are available the front room with a bar and a smaller back room. 

Maestros is a fantastic little bistro located right on Broadway in Saratoga.    This place is very small and intimate.   Chef John Laposta does an amazing job serving up excellent and unique dishes and there are always great specials on the menu.     Desserts here are always fantastic but be sure to save room for Maestros signature dark chocolate which gets passed at the end of every meal. 

The Wishing Well has been a perenial favorite of Saratogians for decades.    Roaring fires in the winter and and intimate dining rooms make this feel like a getaway even for the the locals.  The Wishing Well should be on your consideration list for every occasion and Valentines Day in particular. 

Last but not least on our list is Longfellows Restaurant on Union Avenue about 2 miles from Downtown Saratoga.   Another fantastic Inn, Longfellows boasts one of the biggest fireplaces in Saratoga and the fire is always roaring on cold winter nights.    There are several smaller dining rooms and great bar which makes Longfellows good for any occasion in the courting process—first date, Valentines Day, engagement, rehearsal dinner, wedding or anniversary.
