Limon Rotisserie in the Mission is another restaurant that is starting to get popular in SF. My fiancee and I were looking for a cheap, ambient, and quality food restaurant for Valentines day. We went a little early around 5:30 and managed to grab a seat before it got really crowded. I must say for the price, ambience, and food, this place is a deal. We ordered the half rotisserie chicken, ceviche,  yucca fries, and for dessert rasberry cake. Overall really tasty and delicious and will definitley return.

Ariake Japanese Restaurant is a hidden neighborhood gem that people don't seem to know about. Some of the freshest sushi I have had around SF, not many places have these type of sushi rows and also the quality of the fish. Some recommendations are the Tataki plate ( thinly sliced tuna with lemon and ponzu sauce, my favorite), the cherry blossom roll ( tuna, salmon, cucumber, and avocado-simple but great), and the Hamachi Mango Roll ( Hamachi, mango, asparagus, fish roe, and special sauce). Overall great chill atmosphere, service, and of course good food.
