The Meat

Well, if she can appreciate molecular gastronomy, Coi would be the go-to choice. I've been hearing great things about Commonwealth as of late. Cory raved about his recent experience there.
 
Yup, she's a foodie, adventurous, complicit, and headed for three weeks of a camp without electricity, so I thought I'd pamper her a bit (but expensive for the sake of show obviously doesn't channel good times).
 
Also, of course, no need to be fancy, better cozy. If the proportions of the room correspond to any number from the Fibonacci series devided by the previous or subsequent number (in other words, comfy), so much the better.

Zuni. Get the roast chicken. Reasonable corkage too.
 
Ok, would someone please explain to me what a typical teenager is?

(asks the father of a 16 year old girl...)

Yes, Zuni is a good suggestion. If you want the best Thai (authentic and a good wine list), Ler Ros would be the place. The Hayes Valley location has a better atmosphere.

Zounds good, Zuni and La Cicciaolina.

Consider Cotogna, Oswaldo. You'll want the big brother (Quince) wine list; it is probably not exactly completely to your liking, but there are good things to drink on it. The food at Cotogna is great, and the room exudes cozy, without being cramped.

Rich Table in Hayes Valley and Flour+Water (or their newer place, Central Kitchen http://www.centralkitchensf.com/) are other spots i like and i think you and Olivia would very much as well.

Not that there is anything wrong with Zuni -- just maybe a bit not cozy.
 
I had thought about Cotogna, but that would be two Italian restaurants in a row, even if the geographical areas they emphasize differ. I like Cotogna's wine list. I find it quite disorderly. I think they'd like Perbacco, too, but I left that off for the same reasons.

FYI, Rich Table is a very tough reservation to get as is Cotogna (unless you want to eat at off-hours).
 
Excellent. Since Olivia doesn't drink (yet), the strength of the wine list is not so important, merely a disorderly inclination so that there might be a few decent things by the glass.
 
I meant Barbacco, not Perbacco. Barbacco is more casual, excellent food, and good wine choices by the glass.

Forgot about Aziza. I'd go with that over Zuni. Very unique and you're not apt to find such cuisine elsewhere.
