Name of Establishment: Le Colonial (http://www.lecolonialsf.com/)
Inquiry: “near soma/union square”

What's Special About It: Located just a few minutes away from Union Square, this restaurant has a French colonial/Vietnamese fusion ambiance that comes across as romantic. Having been in business for more than ten years, diners can feast on authentic Vietnamese dishes touched with a little French influence.They have a romantic inner courtyard (it used to house the legendary Trader Vic's) that they transformed into an oasis. This area has mosaic-like flooring, tropical plants and rattan furniture. With a touch of candlelight, it sure screams “romance.”
