Leaving Frisco in style

… with an absolutely delicious dinner at Michael Mina’s restaurant in San Francisco (Mina wikilink), located just in the lobby of the Westin St. Francis hotel, Union Square.

My 3-menu choice (with accompanying yummy pictures that I couldn’t help taking; the light was rather dim however; hence, ultimately, the photo quality is not what it could have been…):

  • Dungeness Crab ~ Local and Seasonal
    • Endive, Poached Claw, Aïoli
    • Butter Roasted, Whole Leg, Espelette
    • Cioppino, Backfin Meat, Tinkerbell Peppers    .
