congrats on the engagement, and good luck. My .02, check out the city during the day, and maybe check out Napa for dinner

you can use www.opentable.com for reservations. i use it all the time and i get seated promptly too. you can put special notes on there (ie birthdays, anniversaries, etc) i did that for several resutrants in the past and got free desserts!

I second Aqua for great seafood...not very romantic though, more corporate types on expense accounts. Bar Crudo is quaint and serves exceptional seafood (a lot of it raw). Go for some oysters...

That is a good site, I found it earlier. Thank you

Thanks, I'll send you a PM tomorrow.

I won't have my car but if you ever make it out to Phoenix let me know!

Tim, not sure which day you'll be out here, or at what time, but I had a friend pull some strings and secured a reservation for you on Saturday night at AQUA @ 8:45PM.

If you decide to go there, definitely go with their 7-course prefixed menu:

Wow thanks Boris, that is very nice of you. If I can talk the GF into it, I'm down!

What's the typical dress code at Aqua?

Dress shoes, slacks or jeans, and a button up shirt will guarantee that they don't ask you to leave.

So I called the GF and she took a look at the Aqua site. She said it is not her kind of place. A little too "upscale" since we want to hang around the city all day first.

But thank you very, very much for making the call for me.

No problem. I figured you may have been interested as it would have been an excellent setting for the proposal she doesn't know is coming. If you're looking for something more laid back and casual, check out: http://www.palomino.com/

check out franciscan then dress how ever you want and its in the pier too so if your doing sightseeing its perfect. its not the fancy style food but it is still very good. the garlic crab is great, i go ever week with the gf there. and the prime rib is crab combo ahhh..... i think imma go there tomorrow i want meat

lol boris you know all the yuppy places hahaa. i can only eat at places like that once in a while.

I never said I go there often...

I just looked at the Franciscan's menu, and damn that prime rib sounds enticing. My fiancee is a crab fiend, so we'll definitely shoot out there this weekend.

Bingo!

That place looks perfect. I am going to make reservations right now.

I doubt I will propose there but who knows. It will happen when the right time comes up.
