Sushi On The Run
Categories: Sushi Bars, Japanese
I'm very very picky about sushi. Actually, my stomach is very very picky. Unless the fish is seriously fresh, I get super crazy stomach cramps, feel sick, and become bedridden the whole day, no joke.
I only had the shrimp and tuna, but both were fresh. Not regular sushi fresh, but Mary-approved FRESH.
The nigiris were huge.... very Japanese (the fish is supposed to be at least twice as big as the rice, and must fall/drape over on the sides). My mom only eats JDM sushi (none of the weird American dynamite kungfu ninja turtle rolls), and has not found a sushi joint in the US she likes yet. I must take her here to eat the nigiris.

The Ritz-Carlton Spa
Category: Day Spas
Like everything else at the Ritz-Carlton, my spa experience was superb. I'm knocking off one star though, for the price.
We enjoyed a 50 minute couple's massage which was very relaxing. My masseuse was very professional and pleasant.
I fully utilized their amenities (since I never do at spas!) but the best was their co-ed mineral spa. It's basically an oversized jacuzzi. It was so relaxing! And we got to enjoy water/tea and fruits while taking a dip.
The couple's massage was $350, plus a 20% gratuity that was automatically tacked on... total came out to $420. Ouch.
May come again, but I'd like to try some of their other services, like a facial.

The Conservatory Lounge

Had dessert here with some friends. OMG everything was so delicious. We had three different desserts and shared everything.
We got the ultimate chocolate cake, the creme brulee, and the strawberry rhubarb cobbler.
The chocolate cake was really a molten chocolate cake; one of the best I've had! Portions were kind of small though. I can't wait to go back!

I had the iced mocha, which I found to be good, but not SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO great like everyone raves. maybe it's just the chai that's exceptionally good?
They also have muffins, which from the variety, I'm guessing is straight from Costco lol.

HOLY CRAP Bush Man has his own Yelp rating?!
I can't believe Bush Man makes $60,000+ year doing what he does!

Restaurant James Randall
Category: Restaurants
My current favorite lunch spot.
I really love the coziness of this cute restaurant!
They put a nice touch of their own to each dish which I appreciate. For example their burgers come on a ciabatta bread, the chicken gruyere had a caper aioli spread, and french fries come with home-made ketchup sauce!
Everything was delicious, and the best part (for me) was that each lunch meal came with a side salad and a COOKIE!! satsified my sweet tooth after my meal, what could be better?
The only thing-- I would not get the fries again-- small portion (maybe 10 fries total) and it cost $6!

Bambino's Ristorante
Categories: Pizza, Breakfast & Brunch, Italian
Neighborhood: Cole Valley
3.5 stars.
I think they get a lot of spill-over business from Zazie's, since Zazie's ALWAYS has such a fat line. I admit, I've been to Bambino's twice because I couldn't stand the wait at Zazie's.
Their portions are HUGE. Everything from their salads to their breakfast plates! I can never finish my meal, I always have plenty left over to go.
I really like their thick home-made wheat bread; I think they put poppy in it-- it's delish!
What I like most about this place is that if you go in for breakfast/brunch, they'll give you free scones (instead of the traditional free bread). YUM!

Best yogurt shop in the Bay Area.
They usually have some sort of special going on (free topping, 99 cent night, etc), and you'll know about it before hand if you sign up for their mailing list.

Clover Bakery & Cafe
Categories: Bakeries, Restaurants
I come here every weekend with my mom after we go grocery shopping around the corner at Mitsuwa.
Pretty authentic Japanese bakery. They have all the weird querky pastries like coroquette pan, tonkatsu pan, and spaghetti pan. LOVE IT!
All their buns are great, but my newest obsession here is the Kuri pan (chestnut). It's soooo good.
The buns do cost a little bit more than at other bakeries like Shengkee, but it's totally worth it. They use better ingredients, and have significant more filling (i.e., more kuri filling!!) than other bakeries.

My favorite Boba joint. I…
I had the Camarones Criollos (prawns in tomato sauce), which was plenty of food for lunch. The prawns were huge... not the "prawns" that most restaurants claim (that are actually small ass bay shrimp or something). Loved the sweet plantains! You can get one of each-- one maduros and one tostones, but the maduros is def better.
The fiance had the Bistec Encebollado, which reminded me a lot of Brazilian food (but I think it was better).
Two things that were unfortunate: there is practically no seating. A few counter spaces and a few bench spaces. I think most people get their food to go. Another thing is that they have no customer restroom. I had to run to a nearby Mike's Bikes to pee. And I ended up having to politely stay for an extra 30 minutes while an employee there was trying to sell me a $1000 bike.
