Great place for a (nerdy) date, esp one of their 1st Thu of the Month night-time "After Dark" events (adults only, alcohol is available) events. Just be sure to check out that month's After Dark theme because they change all the time.

Awesome new building on Embarcadero about 10 min walk from BART (much easier to get to than the old place near the Palace of Fine Arts).

The Seaglass restaurant is surprisingly good, with a rotating menu that can go from Indian curries to upscale tacos to sushi (~$10-$20/person).

Don't forget to walk around outside and out back - nice views of the water though it can get a bit windy/chilly.
