The Best Restaurants For A Last-Minute Date Night - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Yes, you should make reservations for a table at Nopa pretty far in advance, but that’s why we like sitting at the bar, which is first-come, first-served. Grab a few cocktails while you wait for a spot to open up, then split a flatbread and order some duck or pappardelle. When you’re done with your meal and happy that you made it into one of the most classic SF restaurants around, pay, and let the couple behind you take your seats next - it’s the circle of life." - taylor abrams, will kamensky
