Looking for a unique restaurant that will impress your date this Valentines Day? Look no further. Here are three restaurants well worth checking out in 2023.

Double Knot

Address: 120 South 13th Street, Philadelphia

With a cocktail lounge upstairs, and a sushi and robatayaki beneath, Double Knot is another place to add to your list this Valentine’s Day. The underground izakaya, which in Japanese translates to “stay-drink-place,” transports your date from the buzz of the city to an intimate candle-lit experience. The only problem you’ll face at Double Knot is figuring out what to order and eat before you’re too full to go on. But that’s okay! Try the sushi and the Robatayaki menu and if you’re in for something extra special, check out the Chef’s Tasting Menu. Learn more about Double Knot.
