Open Table's list of the top 100 most romantic restaurants in the United States came out just in time to book your Valentine's Day dinner, and two restaurants from Rhode Island made the list.

Not listed in a particular order, Chanterelle the recently rebranded Bouchard Restaurant & Inn in Newport and the White Horse Tavern, another Newport spot were picked based on "over 12 million diner reviews and metrics to find the restaurants that had diners swooning," the website said.

Our question is, what restaurant do you think is the most romantic in the state? One of the above or is there another one that stands out to you?

We've collected a list of romantic restaurants from around the state, and now, we're asking you to vote in a friendly competition.

Cozy, romantic restaurants make a nice setting for a anniversary dinner.

Vote for the most romantic restaurant in Rhode Island

What do the winners get?

What do the winners get? Clout. Bragging rights. Being in The Providence Journal article announcing the winners. There’s not a tangible benefit to winning these polls other than winning and being able to tell people you won.

How do we pick who is in the poll?

Rhode Island may be a small state, but it has a lot of restaurants, making it hard near impossible to come up with an all-encompassing list for the polls. The way we are doing it ahead of the poll we announce what the next poll is going to be on the Providence Journal Food Instagram page @ProJoEats. People can leave a comment with the restaurants they think should be in the poll (restaurants are encouraged to nominate themselves), we’ll round up those entries for the poll. We do reserve the right to use our editorial discretion.

We also will add a restaurant that requests it within the first 48 hours of the poll being up. Email klandeck@gannett.com with nominations.

How does voting work?

We’re setting it up so people can vote once a day, which means if you love a restaurant, you can vote for it more than once. The voting for this poll will close on Sunday, Jan. 28, at 11 p.m. Winners will be announced the following week.
