HELP - Finding most romantic restaurant in San Francisco! (plus other fun things to do)?

My husband and I are traveling to San Francisco for our anniversary this weekend, its spur of the moment so we haven't made any reservations for places to eat. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a nice romantic restaurant that we might have a chance of getting into late notice? We want our NICEST Romantic meal to fall on the Sunday, so the restaurant needs to be open on that day.



Also, if you have recommendations for places to eat for a good lunch or things to do in the city that would be great.HELP - Finding most romantic restaurant in San Francisco! (plus other fun things to do)?
Here are my favorite romantic places:

Le Colonial on Cosmo place [between Sutter and Post and between Jones and Taylor] serves Vietnamese food and great drinks in a lush interior with lots of plants and intimate nooks.

Millennium 鈥?580 Geary at Jones - vegan food that will amaze even confirmed carnivores. Check to see if they are still offering their aphrodisiac dinner.

Boulevard on Mission at Stuart serves great food in a beautiful art nouveau interior. It can be a bit on the loud side, but still romantic.

Farallon on Post between Mason and Powell, a good and expensive seafood restaurant. If you are on a budgert visit for one drink and enjoy the ambiance, like having cocktails in an underwater garden.



And My Must Do San Francisco list



1. Ride a Cable Car, the only moving historical landmark in the world. Stop off at the Cable Car Barn at Washington and Mason to get a full understanding of this unique form of transportation. Riding the Powell Hyde line will allow you to walk down Lombard Street, the famous crooked street.



2. Visit Alcatraz, this former prison is the most popular destination in San Francisco. The bay cruise to and from the island will give you the opportunity to see the skyline from the water a unique perspective. During the height of tourist season it is wise to purchase tickets before you arrive as tours are often sold out days to a week in advance.

3. Discover Coit Tower, Beautiful murals inside, impressive bay view from the tower or Pioneer Park at the base. After the tower descend Telegraph hill via the Filbert Steps on the east side of the park for a unique view of how folks on Telegraph Hill live. More beautiful bay views and the chance to hear and see the famous Parrots of Telegraph Hill.



4. Golden Gate Bridge, not just a feat of engineering, this 1.7 mile span offers incredible views of The City, the bay and the Pacific ocean. Be sure to visit Ft. Point under the bridge for a different view of this San Francisco Icon.



5. Explore Golden Gate Park, this large urban park can consume a whole day [or two]. The New Academy Science, Japanese Tea Garden, Deyoung Museum [American Art], the Arboretum, Bison Paddock, and Paddle boats are all worth a look and watch the sun go down over the Pacific over a drink or dinner at the Beach Chalet.



6. Chinatown, the most densely populated portion of San Francisco offers the largest Chinese center for shopping, food and unique architecture found outside of Asia. The best place to buy souvenirs to take home to friends and family.



7. North Beach, traditionally the Italian section of the city which has no beach but abounds in quaint shops, great restaurants and The City鈥檚 best coffee options.



8. Civic Center, the largest collection of Beaux Arts buildings in the US. Home to San Francisco City Hall, with a dome larger than the US Capital, the Asian Art Museum and the Modern San Francisco Library with its San Francisco History Room housing an eclectic collection of city artifacts and photographs.



9. Buena Vista Gardens, this urban park is home to; the Museum of Modern Art the Museum of The African Diaspora, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Contemporary Jewish Museum, Cartoon Art Museum and the Metreon will keep you entertained for hours.



10. Twin Peaks, see The City and the bay spread out at your feet. Especially captivating at night when the lights seem to go on for ever.HELP - Finding most romantic restaurant in San Francisco! (plus other fun things to do)?

Try restaurants in the Ferry Building or Embarcadero Center. You'll have a great view of the Bay Bridge.



The Marriott in the financial district (near the Metreon Theatre) has a lounge at the top floor. They may not serve dinner but it's great to enjoy drinks and appetizers while taking in a panoramic view of the city.HELP - Finding most romantic restaurant in San Francisco!
