Mmm, this salad was amazing and the beets were beautiful. Actually, all the components of this salad were beautiful. I’m not even a huge salad person but I love quality food, and this plate was scrumptious. NOMS!
Bread and salted butter. Complimentary
Brown rice, broccoli, carrot, jalapeno, cilantro, chili sauce. $9.55
Asian Box, San Francisco CA
Wow, this was actually really hot! I was surprised because most lunch places, especially in the Union Square area, play it safe with the heat. The pork had a lemongrass flavor, but it wasn’t juicy as it could have been. I love hot and spicy, but I think they may have overdone it with this one. You really couldn’t taste much of anything else.
Sweet onion, organic potato, parsley, piquillo pepper aioli. $7
Coqueta, San Francisco CA
Ok, the service here was better this time around, but there’s still something about it that irks me. It’s awkward and mostly aloof. Puh-lease! Anyway, this tortilla was delicate and delicious (I’ll give them that).
Limonada: roasted sparkling lemonade, rosemary, seasonal fruit. $3
