When seeking a spot for a romantic rendezvous, secure a reservation at the secluded café in boutique hotel Zero George. Tucked into one of the property’s five historical buildings, the café has all the requirements for an enchanted evening. Start with a cocktail snuggled up in a private corner of the courtyard garden, then move to one of the tables à deux that flank the café’s fireplace. The cream curtains, silver banquets, and polished heart-pine floor of the cozy candlelit room create a comfortably cloistered atmosphere for sharing Champagne and a menu of chef Vinson Petrillo’s carefully curated small plates. 0 George St., (843) 817-7900, www.zerogeorge.com
