Hawthorne Lane - San Francisco, CA

So, I held a party of 40 at this restaurant on 9/23 and the food and service was wonderful.

The restaurant decor and lighting is very soft and romantic. It's most suitable for newly weds and couples to have their anniversary dinner. It's not cheap and the menu changes seasonally.

They have a good wine selection and dinner menu. Both their lamb and beef were wonderfully cooked.
Valet parking is $10.00 but there are plenty of street parking after 6pm and it's free.

Definitely worth trying it once!

Postrio - San Francisco, CA

I finally went to this restaurant for dinner in May this year. It's a pretty good California-French restaurant. The atmosphere is good. The food is decent. The price is not cheap. But it's a good place to take your worthy friends when they come visit San Francisco. Parking could be challenging though. Reservation is a must, but you can still get a table on a weeknight for an earlier dinning time by phone reservation with just 1 day in advance.
