Here’s just a few of the most romantic restaurants in San Francisco…
First Crush Critically acclaimed wine lounge and restaurant. If you love your wine, especially California wine, this is a great place to dine. Over 400 different vintages available here. The menu changes by the season and allows you to put together a combination of tastes to fully bring out the “flavor of the vine”. Casual but classy atmosphere, priced reasonably too. 101 Cyril Magnin Street, San Francisco, CA (415)982-7874
Moonraker The Moonraker is part of the Best Western Hotel Lighthouse Hotel in Pacifica, 7 miles south of San Francisco Intl Airport. It’s definitely worth the drive down the coast to enjoy a romantic dinner at this seaside restaurant. The view of the sunset over the waves is just gorgeous, there’s seafood like Salmon and Rock Lobster along with a nice selection of wines and some live piano music as well. Pick a nice day, check for sunset times, reserve a window table, and enjoy. 105 Rockaway Beach Ave, Pacifica, CA (650) 359 0303
Rue Lepic You can find some very romantic dining for two in San Francisco’s Nob Hill district. This charming little French restaurant has mouth-watering Parisian dishes in a small, intimate and very romantic setting. Decorated with fine art, fresh roses at each table, and frequented by celebrities who also appreciate the fresh lobster and Crème’ Brulee. 900 Pine Street (at Mason) San Francisco, CA (415) 474-6070
Pier 39 Not just one romantic San Francisco restaurant, but at least 10 establishments along this popular Fisherman’s Wharf section of the San Francisco waterfront. Our choice for romantic dining for two would be Neptunes Palace Seafood Restaurant. The view across the Bay to the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz is outstanding. Neptunes has been called one of the best seafood restaurants in San Francisco. (415)434-2260
Forbes Island If you need more than just a view of the Bay, how about a romantic dinner in the middle of the Bay?! Forbes Island is actually located on the only manmade floating island in the world. Accessible by 27-passenger boat from Pier 39. It’s already an experience before you taste anything, but the French-California dishes are gourmet-quality. An evening’s sail past the sea lions and out to the island is one of the most romantic things to do in the San Francisco Bay area. (415) 951-4900
Bistro Aix Very reasonably priced French/Californian/Italian Bistro down at the Marina. Both Traditional and “cutting edge” favorites are on the menu here. White tableclothe settings, artwork and a wraparound bar make for a warm, inviting and quieter atmosphere. Bonus: outdoor dining on the patio very romantic. 3340 Steiner St. San Francisco, CA (415) 202-0100
