Spring is on the horizon in California and singles are feeling ready to mingle! Our intention at Maclynn is to keep romance in bloom, even through the most challenging of times. As we begin to re-emerge and safely socialize, we are tickled to share some of our favorite San Francisco date ideas for both freshly budding and fully blossomed couples.

Nature lovers will adore the fragrant forest landscape of the eucalyptus trees and the interesting log art installation along the pedestrian path.
Foreign Cinema
Dine under the twinkling lights of this highly-raved about venue now offering private dining events. It’s San Francisco Chronicle’s “Top 100 Restaurants” for eighteen consecutive years, tucked in an entertainment quarter of the city it’s perfect for a pre or post toast theatre performance. The drama doesn’t stop there, each meal tells a story and provides a sensual dining experience that tantalizes all the senses.
