Gardener Roll at Umami, $10
There’s a reason Marina hotspot Umami has a line down the block before it's even flipped over the open sign. The sleek, modern resto (designed by a R29 fave) has two spacious floors, and boasts a menu of yummy specialty sushi. But, it’s the Gardener Roll that got our veggie-loving tongues a-wagging. The no-fuss, sauceless dish has ingredients that could easily be picked from one’s backyard, with pieces of squash, carrot, avocado, asparagus, maitake mushrooms, and microcilantro wrapped into it. The mushroom replaces the texture of the fish, and the squash and avocado add to the melt-in-your-mouth creaminess. The locally sourced veggies change with the season, so boogie over to Umami before it springs forward.

Umami, 2909 Webster Street (between Union and Filbert streets); 415-346-3431.
