Nick and I headed to SF to see Cirque du Soleil's traveling show, Totem.
And while we were there enjoyed a very nice dinner at Michael Mina. A nondescript building in the financial district. Our reservation was for 830p on a Sunday and the place was completely full!
We got the chef's tasting menu (five course - steak tartare, scallop, fish, duck, ribeye, two desserts - a goofy overly fancy rootbeer float creation and then little bites) with wine and checked off two (sub) checks on the 101 list:
#17. Eat ten new foods: (1) John Dory: A perfectly tasty white fish. As to
the funny name? Even wiki is unsure.
#62. Eat at three one-Michelin starred restaurants: (1) Michael Mina SF
My favorite course was probably the fish (although the scallop with the crab salad underneath was realllly tasty too); there were these little potatoes and this puree with it... yum yum. I was impressed by the food - Nick was underwhelmed. Which for the $$ is disappointing...
All-in-all though, a very fun evening in the city!!
