"Bon Délire is single-handedly raising the Embarcadero’s date night stock. The French spot on Pier 3, with a sexy U-shaped bar and vinyl spinning in the back, is the neighborhood’s best option for a night out with lots of wine and butter. Come in with someone you like and split the small plates, like truffle fries or croquettes topped with folds of speck, alongside perfectly cooked steak and juicy roast chicken. And if you’re sitting outside and the waterfront breeze gets too strong, they also have blankets." - lani conway, julia chen 1
