How late am I to this party? But I forgive myself because I don't live in the Bay Area anymore (It's been 10 years! Sarah, you've got to let go!)
Michael Mina, San Francicso chef and restaurateur has opened a restaurant in southern California, Stonehill Tavern at the St. Regis Resort, Monarch Beach in Dana Point. The restaurant is designed by Tony Chi as a modern American tavern. As such, chef Mina's menus are catered toward southern California coastal living with modern Americna cuisine, with a slight bent toward seafood. Uh, yes, I'll start with the toro sashimi with osetra caviar and sudachi lime; then as my entree, I'd like the suckling pig with root vegetables, wild arugula, and truffle sauce. This time I don't think I'd mind the caviar or the truffles.
Michael Mina owns a restaurant that bears his name in San Francisco, Arcadia in San Jose, and has three restaurants in Las Vegas. Ah, but I will never forget him at Aqua (Yes, it's been that long).
