**NOTE** Ok – so its time for me to make amends with the Citrus Club.

I’ve finally gone back and it was as good as ever – better, even! I had a grilled ginger salmon (was cooked PERFECTLY, not overdone like most places: hate that) over garlic noodles, carrots, snow peas, broccoli and some other vegetables. It was one of the best things I’ve eaten in a while and I forgot how cheap it is! It cost me $10 for a delicious dinner that I’ll get to eat for lunch tomorrow too (if I can leave it alone for that long, or if someone else (read: Lindsay) doesn’t discover it before then.

Anyway, I can’t turn back the food poisoning clock, but I’m definitely giving this place another go. I think you should too. :)

Sam’s / Guymas: 2 different waterfront restaurants in Tiburon

The good: Location, location, location! Both of these laid-back patio joints are located right on the water in Tiburon, right over the Golden Gate. Sam’s is where you should go if you want a burger and you don’t mind obnoxious drunkards having obnoxious drunk (loud) fun. Guymas is where you should go if you’re in the mood for a nice light salad and a glass of wine, and you’d like to relax and have a good chat with the person next to you. Can’t count how many sunny days now I’ve longed to sit and enjoy either. Makes for a great Saturday or Sunday afternoon if the weather is cooperating.

The bad: You have to drive there (or take the ferry) so you can’t enjoy your drinks too much.

The bottom line: If you’ve got a couple hours before the sun goes down and you’re in the mood for an outdoor drink, get over there. Sometimes it gets a little windy & chilly when the sun goes in, so bring a sweatshirt. Also keep in mind: you’re sort of a big deal, so don’t forget to flip up your collar and put your shades on.

The bathroom: Don’t go anywhere near Sam’s bathrooms unless it is an emergency. They’re of the public pool-house variety and you’re bound to track something back to your table via flip-flop. The bathroom at Guymas is nice, lots of mirror, and you can chill with the girls and gossip in there no problem.

Blowfish: 2170 Bryant St. in the Mission

The good: Sushi! And if you like your spicy tuna very spicy, you will be excited. Also had some delicious mango mojitos, which weren’t too sweet, which is kind of hard to pull off with this sugar bomb of a drink. Also saw the “smoking volcano” being brought over to someone’s table. Very cool… but then dry ice gets me every time. Was there with clients so paid no attention to the prices on the menu, but I know we got a ton of sushi, drinks and appetizers and between the five of us the bill came out to about $200 (before tip). Not bad for sushi this good.

The bad: Was a little loud, and is kind of tucked away in the Mission so had to have hostess call us a cab for us before we left.

The bottom line: Definitely, definitely check it out. I wasn’t as impressed as I was by Tsunami – the cool atmosphere seemed a little more forced – but it’s definitely good.

The bathroom: Decent. Clean. Nice lighting. Tucked away in corner so you don’t have to wait in line while in view of the entire restaurant. If you’re like me, you don’t want everyone watching while you… well, do the pee dance.
