I'd agree with the post about Boathouse not being good.
If it's your anniversary and you're saying price doesn't matter, I'd recommend:
1. Hawksworth (downtown) - Pacific Northwest Seafood
2. L'Abattoir (gastown) - French
3. Chambar (gastown) - French
Kishimoto sushi is good, but not exactly anniversary meal type of atmosphere. I prefer Minami over Miku for sushi, and Minami has a nice ambiance (as does Miku).
None of the 3 I recommended really have views though, but the food is much better.
Also, try checking out the lounge on the main floor of the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel. They play live music in the evenings and you can sit down, enjoy the music and have a few cocktails. Weekends are kind of a gong show though so try and go on a weeknight if you can.
L'Abattoir also has excellent brunch, so if you don't go there for dinner, you can save that for brunch.
