"This Presidio French bistro is ideal if you’d like a “close quarters” kind of date. French pop plays at just the right level for conversations that require leaning in, and there are cushioned nooks for cuddling. Start with shareable dishes like the fantastic beet salad, and follow it up with the flaky sole meunière or crispy duck confit. Just skip show nights at the Palace of Fine Arts, otherwise you’ll be relegated to doing date night elsewhere." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
