Fogo de Chao

This Brazilian steakhouse had great food. The only one thing I will complain about is they definitely try to sneak in serving you alcohol (they handed us mimosas, which many people accepted because they thought it was part of the meal). They also handed us jumbo shrimp cocktail, where people also thought it was included.

For the meal itself, most of it was great (can’t remember which one I liked the best). One type of meat we did end up ordering was the dry aged tomahawk, which I remember tasted amazing.

We ended up pairing the dinner with some merlot, which was a great compliment.

Also, the salad bar had a good selection.

Lastly, since it was our birthday, they did give us a complimentary dessert (but definitely doesn’t cancel out all the other non-free things mentioned above).

Surisan

Went here for brunch. What’s interesting about this place is that it is Korean.

I got the bulgogi bap, which of course I found great. I also had a side of bacon. What I should’ve got a side of (but tried from someone else) was millennium bacon. Mmmm. Also, tried the Korean fried chicken. Also great.

And what brunch would be complete without a mimosa? They did have bottomless, but opted to not do that mainly because of the previous night.

Overall, definitely coming back to this place. Maybe next time family style might be a better choice, since trying a variety of food made the experience that much better.

This is a great brunch place. I loved it the first time, and the second time did not disappoint.

The bottomless mimosa deal is definitely a good reason to go here. Only $22, and they are very good at refilling your drink.

The bacon in the middle of the first picture (not sure what it was called, but maybe millionaire’s bacon?) was really good.

We also ordered pad Thai. It also did not disappoint.

One interesting is the last picture, which was a shooter of some sort. It was a good start of the meal.

I would order everything pictured below again.

South Beach Cafe

Went here to work since they close at 9pm.

I actually got a breakfast item even though it was dinner. I got the ham, cheese, and egg focaccia. Overall, delicious and worth the price.

I also got the mimosa, which I believe had orange juice that was freshly squeezed. It was one of the best mimosa’s I’ve had!

The only complaint about this place is that it has flies. They can be distracting when trying to work.

La Mar

We went to this restaurant for a friend’s birthday. I would come back to this place, and probably order a couple of the same dishes (given that when I went there, I didn’t have that much of an appetite).

For appetizer’s we had the beef and chicken empanada’s. I was expecting the beef to be better, but the chicken one was really good.

For a drink, I got a mimosa and lychee martini (I was surprised they had lychee). I will say, I wish the lychee martini was a bit sweeter.

For my main, I got the Ariz con Pollo (roasted chicken). It was good. I remember being a really big fan of the rice underneath it (and the chicken wasn’t too dry).

One thing I will get next time (although it is a bit pricey) is the adobo. A friend had it, and it was better than the dish I got.

The Sarap Shop (SF Soma Street Food)

Tried this Filipino food truck, and I would come here again if I felt like eating Adobo.

I ordered the “I love my adob(r)o”. It was adobo with pork belly (not a lot of fat, which is what I prefer), with rice and a side of vegetables (the sweet corn and fried okra were a good accent to the main meal).

And I also did try the mimosa. I’ve gotta say, it’s worth the $5.

The Grove

Came here for brunch / to work. Great cafe atmosphere for working. I would definitely come back.

For the drink, I of course got a mimosa. It was alright for $8 (spark SF is still better for $5).

The main dish I had was the breakfast special. I ordered it with ham instead of bacon, and they delivered it to me with bacon. I didn’t complain, but I think I would have enjoyed it more with ham (still good though).

Bouchon

We got the fixed price meal.

They started us off with some French pastries. From the picture below, the lemon cupcake tasted the best.

For drinks, I got a mimosa and mojito. The mojito here was better than the mimosa.

For the appetizer, I chose the salmon salad. It was pretty delicious (definitely made the right choice).

For my main, I got the corn beef. It was ok, but I think I should have gotten the lobster instead.

For dessert, they have us some sweets (all of it was good, except I didn’t try the sugar coated on pictured below).

Saffron Mediterranean Grill

Food here is reasonably priced, and mostly pretty good.

For a drink, I got champagne (and added our own orange juice to make it a mimosa since they did not have any).

For my main, I had the chicken kabob (it was a little dry though, unlike Oren’s). Someone else got donner (a mix of lamb and beef). That was really good (unfortunately I didn’t take a picture).

They also gave us free baklava at the end (which was good).

Réveille Coffee Co.

Although this is a cafe, I ended up ordering a mimosa. Haha. I have to say though, it isn’t as good as Spark SF, and the price is $9 a glass. Perhaps it’s pricey because the juice is freshly squeezed.

The cookie is pretty good, but it’s also not cheap (at $4.50).

I will say the music is pretty good. It’s house music (really good for working).
