Valentine's day dining

Sure, you can wait until the last minute to think about where to take your honey-bunny to dinner on Valentine's Day.

You can also pretend to enjoy the dubious grub at some questionable eatery that just happens to have plenty of empty tables on February 14.

Instead, make a reservation at one of the eight restaurants suggested by Thrillist/San Francisco. Fabulous food without the inflated prix fixe pricing. Yum.
