In exactly one month, it’ll be Valentine’s Day—which is apparently something we as a society still choose to celebrate. Which means you need to secure some reservations immediately. Here are the five best tables.
You require: Fancy Mexican in a clandestine corner spot. By a window.
You’ll receive: A secluded table for two surrounded by chandeliers and Italian leather.
By the way, this is a fixed-menu situation. So you can just sit back and focus on the chandeliers or
whatever.
You require: The scent of baked goods and a wood-burning oven.
You’ll receive: The oven-side spot inside this intimate café/bistro. It’s a good place
to be if your date’s into things like quince-filled donuts and mackerel. If not... no, that’s a scenario
too difficult to consider.
You require: Some serious SF history. And serious proximity to the chefs.
You’ll receive: The stools directly facing the open kitchen. When jamón-wrapped trout
and squash croquettes are happening, they should be happening right in front of you.
You require: Champagne poured by the magnum. But with some Parisian intimacy.
You’ll receive: A six-course feast at a stand-alone two-top separated from the rest of
the banquette seating. Also, it’s underneath a vintage map of Paris, in case you wanted to start planning
your next trip.
You require: A quiet dinner. Like, really quiet. As in scientifically made to be crazy
quiet.
You’ll receive: A window-side table in the “Meyer zone.” It’s a room with a
high-tech sound system that tackles noise pollution with strategically positioned microphones and speakers.
Is what that is.
