by Jason S. on Serendipitous discovery: Did you know Viagra was intended to be a medication to combat angina and thrombosis? It's common use now was discovered as a side-effect during clinical trials. Similarly, my party and I failed to make a reservation at Limon Peruvian Rotisserie and found ourselves facing a 90-minute wait. We decided to go elsewhere. After several unsuccessful walk-in attempts at LoloSF and Revolution Cafe, we found ourselves standing on the corner... feeling helpless. It wasn't all bad though, because as we left LoloSF, a trio of really attractive ladies walked by us. After giving them the standard "double-take" my party and I had a brief discussion and decided to wander down Mission in hopes of finding some nice eats. Several minutes later, as we were ambling down Mission, a familiar sight caught my eye: The three ladies that had walked by us earlier had just ducked into some restaurant. Naturally, I suggested that three classy ladies must have exquisite taste. My troupe concurred and that was how we were serendipitously introduced us to the jewel that is Medjool. The quick and dirty: High ceilings, comfortable lounge, decked bar, sky terrace, eye candy, and GREAT food. We ordered the grilled hangar steak, broccolini, fig and lamb tangine, pomme frites, Medjool sampler, and the salmon. The symphony: Each dish that arrived tasted wonderful, making my experience there incrementally better with every bite. The Medjool sampler entered first, with soft and warm pita bread accompanied by 3 types of dips that complemented each other to the point where mixing all three in one bite yielded an explosion of flavor and decadence. Next came the pomme frites which were perfectly fried to a light crispy texture, followed by the broccolini and the hanger steak which were luscious and tender, each layered with a blend of condiments that only enhanced the eating pleasure. The fig and lamb tangine sent the dining experience into a permanent crescendo that culminated into an effervescent climax of color and texture that is the roasted salmon, after which my party and I were sitting there, dazed in amazement at the carnival of flavors and tastes that greeted our lips. I can't wait to go back. The Sangria was delish.
by Emery Firlit on Line actually does go pretty fast even if it is long, but expensive! 20 bones to get in!!! pretty asian place to hang, dont go if youre not into that crowd....saw a couple of old couples, which was interesting. Not to bad mouth my friend's promoting establishment BUT.... This place is whack., super small, hella crowded filled with small asian guys with a bigass attitude....too many wannabe's thinking they hard up, i'm asian too but i dont go around acting like i got something to prove to the handful of black and white ppl there, thinkin' i need to gain their respect to be cool...... bouncers are eh...some are annoying hella shining their superbright LED flashlights in your eyes trying to get you to move off the stairway, its their job to get you to not be a fire hazard sure..but if you fall down in the club and break something of of those steep steps, that guy aint gonna have a job for long...one female bouncer who made it her job to talk to everyone for 2 minutes at the door, i'm thinkin that this beezy needs to shut up and let me in, im not here to pay youre paycheck just so i can stick around to talk to you, itd be different if she was speaking in a friendlier tone, but she was tryna assert her authority over everyone by forcing them to listen to what she had to say otherwise you wouldnt get in. i'm not gay, but there were too many scantily-clad women there, at least it was waaayyyy too revealing for me....at some points i would turn my head and i felt like i was in a live porno..... and some beezy stepped on my foot with the stiletto part of her heel....that was unfortunate and bothered me cuz she didnt apologize, but at the time the pain clouded my judgment and didnt realize she was just another drunk stumbling her way to her next drink, or another man to get her to buy her a drink.... and as a side note, how the hell can some people say this place is wheelchair accessible?!?! WTF?!?! its got stairs only, maybe i'm wrong, but im pretty sure there are no elevators.......
