my birthday wish this year was a trip to smugglers cove and sebo sushi, approx three blocks from each other. since jp can’t eat sushi or drink alcohol because of kue-2, i went by myself.
smugglers cove:
puka punch – rum and a lot of other stuff
three dots and a dash – rum and a lot of other stuff
so i have now had three drinks from there and though they were all really great, i don’t think i could distinguish one from another. they all read similarly on the menu, so i guess that was to be expected.
sebo sushi:
wasn’t cheap, but possibly the best fish i have had anywhere. and i got a bunch of things i’d never heard of before, much less tasted. new things to me: katsuo (bonito), kohada (gizzard shad), ainame (greenling), kuromutsu (bluefish), shirauo (ice fish), hotaru ika (firefly squid).
then i decided to check out range since they’ve got a new menu since i was last there. i tried to get there by bus, failed. resorted to a cab.
ran into my brother at range which was pretty cool and lucky, since neither of us are in sf very often.
range:
the b-line – bourbon, lillet, bergamot, honey, bitters. this was superb. a bourbon sour variant made silky smooth with the lillet.
‘cocktail of the day’ – i missed the name and also what was in it, except lime, guava, and sparkling rose. delicious, but maybe on the dry side for me.
kamilia – basically a margarita with guava. excellent. guava and tequila are perfect complements.
