5 Glorious Restaurants for First Dates in San Francisco
There’s no shortage of fun and interesting activities in San Francisco. From a movie at the Kabuki Theater to a walking tour of the Mission District’s murals, there are plenty of engaging pursuits that could double as a first date. However, I’m of a certain old-fashioned mindset where I believe that a first date should involve some sort of wine-ing and dining. Bread must be broken, alcohol must be imbibed, and stories must be swapped. The restaurant doesn’t have to be fancy — if a guy took me to Saison on the first date, I would think he was crazy — but it should be inviting, stylish, and scrumptious. After all, a lively atmosphere and great food are necessary to survive the unavoidable awkward silences that may occur. Although I feel that first dates should involve dinner, I’m modern enough to realize that either party, male or female, can select the said location. Wondering where you should go on your next first date? Here are the top five restaurants for first dates in San Francisco.
