Friday: ICHI Sushi
ICHI Sushi is one of those places that has been on my must try list for about a year now. The only issue is that every time we tried to go, there was an hour plus wait; and if you know me, you know I hate to wait at restaurants. Luckily, in December they started taking reservations (yay!!!), so I of course made a reservation immediately. I wanted to wait until my sister was in town because she's been dying to go as well and well, I don't know many people who like sushi as much as she does (she told me last night if she had to eat one food for the rest of her life it would be sushi).
Upon arriving we didn't even bother to look at the menu. I'm sure it's great but we had decided ahead of time that if we were going to ICHI we were doing Omakase. We sat at the bar and had a fantastic meal. The sushi was fresh, exciting and unique. The service was also great, with some unexpected twists and turns; there was a short power outage at one point during our meal. In the end we ate about 20 pieces each...like I said we really love our sushi!
If you haven't been to ICHI and love (or even just like) sushi, I highly recommend adding it to your list immediately. I'm already planning my next visit and I look forward to seeing what their new location, opening this year, brings!
Dessert: Mitchell's Ice Cream
Established in 1953, Mitchell's is one of San Francisco's most classic ice cream joints and with over 40 flavors to choose from, picking just one is never easy. This time I decided to try something new and went with the Kahlua Mocha Cream. Rich yet creamy this flavor is a must try, even if it's just a sample! If you've never made the trip to Mitchell's I highly recommend adding it to your list, who knows maybe you'll even make it a sushi ice cream night like we did!
Tip: Make a reservation at ICHI, this way you don't have to wait for an extended amount of time. If possible, ask to sit at the counter, great service, great view and great recommendations from the masters!
