Best restaurants in San Diego, CA for special occasions?

It's my boyfriends birthday in April and I was wondering what the best restaurants are? I looked in to dinner cruises but am iffy about the crowed (we're late 20's). Any more suggestions? Price is not an issue. Thanks.Best restaurants in San Diego, CA for special occasions?
Best restaurants and you're getting Bucca Di Beppo? I know San Diego doesn't have the best restaurants, but come on...



The Ocean Terrace Bistro in La Jolla is pretty good, as one of the other people said. Check out Laurel or Bertrand at Mr. A's in Banker's Hill, Jack's, the Marine Room, or Azul in La Jolla, 150 Grand or Asia Vous in Escondido, 1500 Ocean at the Hotel Del, Mortons or Flemings for great steak houses, Mille Fleur in Rancho Santa Fe, Cavaillon in Santa Luz... I could go on and on and I haven't even reached the Gaslamp.



If you want something trendy, cool, and fun go to Jack's in La Jolla or Laurel in Banker's Hill.
Hornblower does have dinner cruises. The food is ok...not bad but not terrific. Cruising on the bay is fun and there was dancing as well when I went. We had fun.



Some of the most romantic restaurants are: Bertrand at Mister A's, Georges at the Cove Outdoor Terrace Bistro, and Marine Room.

Go to LaJolla...



Ocean Terrace Bistro....great food, great views and cool atmosphere.
Please don't go to Bucca Di Beppo! There are several, if not more, great places all over SD!! The Marine Room in La Jolla-Mister A's at Banker Hill-Salvatore's, Rainwaters downtown-The Palms, Flemings in the Gaslamp.....if none appeal-check out www.gayot.com for restaurant pricing %26amp; reviews by area-Enjoy!!
red lobster is a good idea
Attack of the killer pizzas from Mars (or something like that) is a pretty cool place. The pizza sucks though.
Buca di Beppo. I think there is one in the gaslamp quarter. There are a ton of wonderful restaurants in the gaslamp area of San Diego.
Peonys is a good one in Coronado. Mr. A's, Laurel downtown,Donovans, The Chart House North of San diego...This one is right on the beach, where you can see the waves crashing up to yo while you eat.
Here's a listing of special occasion restaurants in San Diego, which could help you start to do a little research. I'd agree about Buca di Beppo - especially if they have the Pope room (a personal favorite of mine).
I highly recommend Mille Fleurs if you like French food, Betrand at Mr. A's is good too.
Benihana's



located by mission valley



japanese food and the chef cooks right in front of you



entertaining
Bertrand at Mister A's is a pretty good restaurant, specially if you go at night its pretty romantic cause you get to see downtown SD from a different view
Try the Brazilian restaurant called Rei do Gado in downtown Gaslamp. I ate there a month ago for my 5 year anniversary with my bf. The atmosphere is romantic and the food is even better!!!!
