Bay Area Restaurants
Ok, so next saturday is the fall formal that my house is sponsoring and I need to find a good restaurant in the Berkeley/El Ceritto/Oakland/possibly SF area to take her prior to the event. I'm going for a good impression here, so I want somewhere nice, but not so fancy that neither of us can figure out which fork is used for what. Thanks!

If you want Sushi and don't want to go too far, go to Kirala, it's on Shattuck. It's the best Sushi in the Easy Bay, but prepare for long ass lines (I'm not sure if they take reservations, might wanna call).
For steak, I recommend Harris' in San Francisco ... voted best steak in San Francisco by many sources.
Also, a classy fusion food place in Oakland (yes ... it's VERY NICE and it's IN Oakland) is Le Cheval. It's basically vietnamese/french food and pretty damn good.
If you want some particular food in general, let me know and I'll see if I can come up with a recommendation ...
I eat around here ... a lot and I'm always trying to impress the ladies when I take them out for dinner.

You can try Chez Panisse Cafe in Berkeley. It is less expensive than the restaurant.
You can also try Ebisu Restaurant in San Francisco. There are
also some interesting restaurants in San Francisco Mission area.

For makimono, come by my restaurant! We have over 20 different "special rolls" that you will only find at our restaurant - from such exciting varieties as "Crunch & Munch" to "SF Fire roll".
My favorite, "Pink Lady Roll" with soft shell crab inside, covered with tuna and hirame.
Address:
Osaka Sushi
460 Castro Street
San Francisco, CA
415-255-8828
Ha ha...
