I'm new to SD and looking for a romantic restaurant for a 4 year anniversary or Valentine's Day. Something not too pricey with a beautiful atmosphere. Any ideas?

One of my favorite restaurants is Island Prime, on Harbor Island (across from the airport). However, it is pretty expensive. The hidden gem, though is C-Level Lounge, in the same building, run by the same wonderful Chef, Debra Scott. It has a gorgeous view over the water, a lovely menu of salads, seafood, pastas, and is pretty reasonable (main dish salads are around $10, seafoods and pastas are betwen $10 and $20). I think there is no restaurant with better atmosphere anywhere in San Diego.
Another fantastic restaurant is Indigo Grill (same chef owner), in Little Italy. The prices on the menu very a lot. I almost always get the grilled romaine salad for $7.50 and add grilled shrimp for $5. That's an appetizer, but it's big enough for a meal. Normal entrees are between about $14 and $28. Drinks are pretty expensive, though. If you do there, share the romantic and delicious chocolate casserole for desert. The atmosphere is southwestern eclectic.

For my anniversary, I almost always chose Chateau Orleans, in Pacific Beach. The have reasonable prices, (plus a coupon for 1/2 off, in The Reader every week) GREAT food and live jazz. If the weather is nice, you can eat outside. It's a short distance from the beach, so if you are inclined, you can take a nice walk along the shore. And the is a wonderful bakery/restaurant (The French Gourmet) a couple of doors down where you can pick up dessert if you want something to go home with.

I'm not sure what you consider "pricey",but you might find a nice hotel with a nice restaurant,and maybe have a romantic evening alone. The Hotel Del has the 1500 Ocean restaurant. Hotel Del is technically in Coronado,but it's only about a 5-10 minute drive.
