Regardless of where you choose . . . Have a wonderful time kiddo.

Gillian, I rarely get to go out with just Laura and myself so I am really no help on choosing a place. I do agree though that if the company is great, you will forget all about where you are at.
Have fun, where ever you wind up.

I will acknowledge that the company is what makes the date... but I guess a lot of you guys have been with your SOs for a while, you guys forgot what it is like out there in the dating scene. Please don't take offense to it... but the art of courting is lost. Having a nice, quiet, dinner where you don't have to yell over the noise, good food, nice ambiance is all part of dating.
If I were to go on a first date again, I would like to find a nice happy medium place, where I can have a view of one of my favourite city in the world, good food, good service, a place where I can dress up a little bit, have a glass of wine or two and enjoy the company of the man who had the courage to ask me out.

whenever I go to Oakland, I always stop at Everett and Jones BBQ. I loooooove BBQ and I would even recommend that for a first date. Sometimes first dates can be so pretentious . . . I mean, I dig quiet and good food and views and all that, but what about character and fun? I'll impress you later with a $200 dinner, let's see how you do when you get your hands dirty and have diverse people all around you.

I hear good things about Flint's too. I love dives, but that may be too divey for some.
