ISO Warm Restaurant in SF

[sugarseattle]

I am returning to the bay area this weekend for a wedding and my husband and my anniversary. We're sneaking down to SF and staying on Geary in the theater district and would like to have a nice anniversary dinner. I'm completely out of the loop about the latest restaurants. Here's what we want.

- unique/innovative.

- preferably within walking distance to our hotel, or short cab

- not too cold ambiance. something not too formal and stiff...we're artists and HATE stuffiness!

- not through the roof budget-wise. we'd like to spend about $150 bucks for 2 and have some libations

- excellent dessert, after all, I am a pastry chef.

Canteen. It is a block or so away and probably the best restaurant that fits your criteria.
