Limon Rotisserie




Limon Rotisserie

1001 S. Van Ness Ave.
(Between 21st and 22nd)

Grub-O-Meter: 4 out of 5 Bellies-Up
Cha-Ching-O-Meter: $$ out of $$$$

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




Ariake Japanese Restaurant
5041 Geary Blvd. (between 14th and 15th)
San Francisco, CA. 94118

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.
