"Flip the script on the usual romantic dinner obligation at Tanzie's, where spicy Thai lava eggs bring the heat, but brunch hours keep it casual. For a dash of fancy, book a reservation for their prix fixe option. For another just-another-day-date option, grab a beer and some seafood comfort food at Sailing Goat. The Richmond hotspot has live music, great views, and a crowd-pleasing menu for day and night noshing, plus a walk-in only policy ideal for last-minute decision makers. Test the romance waters by timing your visit to the sunset. If there's a wait for a table, you can also check out the collection of former Burning Man art pieces at the Point San Pablo Harbor."
"And nothing says "low stakes" like pizza. June's Pizza delivers on reservation-free spontaneity and solid pies (though arrive before 9 p.m. for maximum selection). For a built-in conversation starter, check out Oakland's new Flour + Water Pizza Shop to see if it lives up to the hype."
Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday, giving extra planning time, but ideal plans depend on relationship status. For undefined or low-pressure dates, choose casual options like Tanzie's brunch with spicy Thai lava eggs and an optional prix fixe, Sailing Goat's walk-in seafood spot with live music and sunset views, or reservation-free pizza at June's Pizza and Flour + Water Pizza Shop. Timing and walk-in policies can ease last-minute decisions. Addresses and weekend hours are available for each recommended spot to help coordinate visits and maximize atmosphere, selection, and spontaneity.
