For me, San Francisco is one of the most romantic destinations. I don't know. Maybe it's the views or the fact that I can choose from so many diverse restaurants to celebrate. Perhaps it's the effort the chefs here go through to source local ingredients. These sweeping bay views, candlelit tables, and menus are my favorites.
