4/29    Can someone remind me what is the name of the circular, hotel-top place
        in SF around Embarcadero where people go for "romantic dates"?  I think
        it's a dining / bar area on top of Marriot or some big hotels around
        there where you have a cicular view of the bay.  And, what's the likely
        of me getting a dinner reservation for this Friday night?
        \_ Go the Union Square and buy a homeless guy some food to show her
           your caring sensitive 90's side.  Show her that you're in touch
           with your nurturing caring feminine inner self.  Women like that.
        \_ Equinox. No problems getting a reservation.
        \- if you want to go somewhere for a date, go to aquarello or
           merenda. m is a little cheeper than a. going to equinox, julius
           castle,carnellian room etc is stupid. "the view" at the top of the
           marriot is ok, but i would avoid it on a friday night ...
           it is a really cheesy scene. same for top of the mark.
           if you go to the view, get an "absolut kamikaze" --psb
                \- beach chalet is ok for a date too. lower budget. --psb
                   \_ Speaking of which, inquiring minds want to know how
                      the Potempkin went.
                          \- i dont potemkin and tell.
        \_ On Sunday mornings the Equinox hosts a jazz brunch and 103.7 (KKSF)
           broadcasts from the restaurant.  It is an all inclusive brunch, read
           as much liquor you want to drink on a Sunday morning, but price is
           about $50 per person.  I've spent almost four hours eating, drinkin,
           and being merry so it is well worth the price, but almost more suited
           for a group of people going together than a date. --dre
                \_ Ritz Carlton brunch is $50 per person. Take your pick.
