Our 1 year anniversary is coming up and i don't know jack about restaurants in the city. She wants to go to equinox but i just read the reviews and they're pretty bad. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I know there are some of those boat restaurants too that take you around the bay. Basically any place with a nice view and good food. Any ideas?

Away from san francisco is fine too. Theres grandview in san jose but with the recent weather i've been avoiding it.

 

How about Scoma's:

A good restaurant with a view is http://www.greensrestaurant.com/

I'm not vegetarian but my wife is and the food was great. When we went, we watched the sunset during dinner. Congrats on your 1 year anniversary. Its not too late to leave. Nearly 7 years here and I'm only 27 ouch.

The Marine Memorials restaurant has a nice view as well.

I haven't been here in about 8 or 9 years. Used to be very good. View is spectacular.

cliff house

Park Chalet over by the cliffhouse is also alright.

There's Skate's over in the Berkeley Marina.

 

Food aint all that great there. Mainly just paying for the view. Equinox is a pretty good restaurant in SF too. Good seafood and nice atmosphere.

 

Bella Vista on skyline is gret food and great veiws...it's a bit of a drive but it's worth it for the souffle alone.

 

all nice suggestions, thanks, i'll look into all of them. BTW, i forgot to mention she's my gf, not wife. Don't scare me haha

 

+1 for the Beach Chalet.

This place is pretty cool. I was just there on Saturday. We jam down on bikes, get beer'd and then ride a little slower back. Good fun. The garlic fries will keeel you. Great beer and snacks for sure. On a sunny day it's tops.

I have been meaning to check out this place for a while: http://www.thevansrestaurant.com... Maybe I will have a review after the weekend. Supposed to have a great view..

 

+10..... Pasta dimplomatica.. mmmmm MMMMM. Just made my mouth water.

 

Cityscape. It's on top of the Hilton. Ask for a window seat. View is incredible. Food is above average, but you are paying for the view really.
