The Moonraker is part of the Best Western Hotel Lighthouse Hotel in Pacifica, 7 miles south of San Francisco Intl Airport. It's definitely worth the drive down the coast to enjoy a romantic dinner at this seaside restaurant.

Casual but classy atmosphere, priced reasonably too. 101 Cyril Magnin Street, San Francisco, CA (415)982-7874.Pier 39:.Not just one romantic restaurant, but at least 10 establishments along this popular Fisherman's Wharf section of the San Francisco waterfront.
