Two checks in one SF trip!

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!!
