Finally! This Friday, Michael Mina's new project, RN74, opens for dinner in the ground floor of the Millenium Tower on Mission Street. This wine bar and restaurant is named after Route National 74 which passes through Burgundy, France. Executive Chef Jason Berthold (French Laundry, Per Se) and wine director Raj Parr (Rubicon, Mina Group) have collaborated closely to ensure that their 80-some page wine list pairs well with their affordably priced menu which is divided into three sections: fish and shellfish, garden vegetables and hand-rolled pasta, and meat and poultry. Priced between $14 and $17, items include Japanese Big Fin Squid Salad, Spring Garlic Agnolotti, Liberty Farm Duck Confit, and Sauteed Pork Belly. Lunch service begins on April 28th. 301 Mission Street at First. 415.543.7474.
Mid-June, Postrio will stop serving dinner as it undergoes a remodel, along with the rest of the Prescott Hotel. Personally, I think it's about time that this Wolfgang Puck eatery gets updated. It used to be one of my favorite restaurants in the '90s, but then the food and service started going downhill. Michael Bauer only gave it 1.5 stars last December. Look for the new, and hopefully, improved version in 2010.

About Me
- Grubalicious SF
- A U.C. Berkeley graduate with journalism and restaurant research experience, I am a former corporate meeting and event planner turned gastronomic explorer in my native San Francisco. We all lead busy lives, but nearly everyone stops to eat, whether it be a burger from a fast food joint, an organic mixed greens salad from the purveyor of locally grown ingredients or a fancy plate of foie gras accompanied by a glass of wine from an upscale eatery. No matter how short or long on time you are in this amazingly diverse city, lunch should be a culturally rich and enjoyable experience. Neophytes and gourmets alike should be able to walk away completely satiated, if even after a brief meal's visit. On this blog, I will share my passion for and knowledge of the San Francisco restaurant scene, divulge the must-try gems so that visitors and transplants can get away from the tourist traps, and celebrate with natives all the exciting dining experiences that we are so lucky to have here.
