Hey thanks for looking, I was hoping to hear some suggestions for fine dining in the city. I'm from the north bay and know little to nothing about quality restaurants in San Fran. I'm looking to treat my girlfriend to a really nice dinner ect for her birthday, so price really isn't important. would prefer suggestions that offer vegetarian cuisine as Well.
thanks for your time!

I know it sounds corny but I use an app on my iPhone called urban spoon. You can select what type of food you want, price range and ratings. Hopefully this helped a bit! Lol

 

I've never heard of it, I'll be sure to check it out, sounds useful either way. thanks for the suggestion!

If you don't mind spending the money try to get a reservation at Gary Danko in the Fisherman Wharf area. I've been there twice and it has been amazing each time. Its better than French Laundry in my opinion. Also, if you go you have to get the wine pairing with each course if you even remotely like wine.

 

i liked wandering north beach till i found an italan restaurant i liked its pretty classy and lively there bars included

 

Kabuto is a Michellin star rated Japanese place on Geary, really good. Kappa I'm Japan town is really good too, but it's over a 100 per person. La Ciccia in the Richmond district has to be the best Italian/Sicillian place I've ever tried.


No vegetarian places that I know off

 

Gary Danko.

 

If you want Chinese vegetarian food, you can try Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant. There's 3 of them in the city. One in Chinatown, one in Sunset, and another on Geary Blvd. Both the Sunset and Geary places are pretty small. If you don't want to wait, Chinatown's probably the best bet.

Most dishes are around $10 each. The decor isn't super fancy looking or anything, so if you're looking to impress the GF, not sure if it will suit you, but generally, the place is pretty clean. Food's pretty good for a Chinese vegetarian cuisine. My mom's vegetarian so we eat there often. Check yelp for pics and reviews.

 

all these sound great, doing my research as they come in!!! thanks so much and keep em coming. as much as I like good cheap food, this will be a night I want her to remember, you guys know what I mean.

Fairmont.

 

If it's soon, might as well book the hotel in union square with a view of the christmas tree (provided it's still up by then!)

you can even take her to victorias secrets sometime during the day, since its right there

 

Ritz Carlton or Mandarin Oriental

 

Haha good call with Victoria's secret, I'm planning in advance for early January, just wanted to make sure I could get reservations for whatever sounded best.

NOPA for good American food.

R&G lounge for Michelin-star rated Chinese-- the salt and pepper crab is the big draw.

Turtle Tower for pho.

Baker and Banker in the Western Addition for American.

Hillstone for steak in a low-key, business dinner sort of restaurant. Live jazz many nights of the week.

****. Vegetarian? Bleh.

Millennium is fine dining w/ a completely vegan menu.

Hotel rooms are whatever to me, unless you can afford the megabucks top floor suites, they all look pretty similar. Just stay at somewhere with a good name like the Ritz, W, Fairmont, etc.

 

King of Thai noodle on Clemente!! Super bomb and super cheap, there's also a bomb crepe place right next door for dessert
