Cute spots to go on a date night with a friend or a more-than-friend - these ones are on the nicer side/splurgy!
perhaps my favorite date night spot - prefix menu for ~$80 and the price matches the quality of the food imo. perfect for celebrations where you want to splurge!

Easy to get a res a week or so beforehand and have also had success walking in and sitting at the bar! Delicious pastas and very cute vibes
Pearl 6101
Definitely a splurge but delicious (i become pescatarian for the night when i go here bc it's that good) - generally able to walk in without much of a wait!
Saru Handroll Bar
Vibey af, one of my favorite restaurants in the city. They spin records! Sick pizza, great natural wine selection, fun location.
Back To Back | Natural Wine & Pizza
walk ins are the best way to go - plan to wait 30 mins+ and go on the earlier side
true laurel
a staple - pastas rock
Penny Roma
Such a fun vibe since they always have a movie playing in the outdoor area and food is spectacular
Foreign Cinema
I normally get a res or wait a few minutes to sit at the bar! Good vibe and great food, especially the pasta 🍝
The Tailor's Son | Italian Restaurant in San Francisco, CA
I was skeptical at first because it's in the marina and i saw a ton of influencers post here (lol i know that's hypocritical) BUT i went and it was actually so so good. very vibey interior, awesome food, delicious unique drinks
Left Door
Delicious food and perfect for a more casual walk in dinner
Beit Rima - Arabic Comfort Food- San Francisco
Another more casual walk in option, food is SO BOMB
