Charlotte has its fair share — like a huge giant share— of casual spots: breweries, bars, pickle-ball-themed breweries, and pickle-ball-themed bars. But it’s time that Charlotte’s handful of romantic restaurants — mainly dim-lit, intimate venues with delicate dishes — get their time in the spotlight.

Each of these restaurants could certainly host a wide range of lovebirds, from two flirts on their sparks-flying first date to a couple who has been around long enough to know Charlotte before any of these restaurants existed (and who are maybe in pursuit of rekindling that first-date spark). Either way, these spots are pretty much guaranteed to keep conversation, drinks, and maybe even love flowing.
