Having a picnic at Fort Mason

Had dinner Michael Mina’s new place RN74 Friday evening. I’ve already dined at his flagship “Michael Mina” and decided to mix things up.  RN74 is on the ground floor of the Millenium Tower in SOMA.

The food was unsurprisingly delicious.  The preparation was absolutely flawless, Friday’s selections consisted of  the following:

• soft-shell crab with lemon and ginger
• sauteed pork bellies and manila clams with spring garlic and paprika
• wild Alaskan halibut with black truffles, sunchokes, peas and a whole lot of carrots
• duck “cassoulet”

The meal was topped off with a couple of delectable desserts:

• Kumquat Confiture with coriander sponge cake, yogurt and white verjus sorbet
• Warm beignets with mascarpone, blueberry, lemon thymey and Ras al Hanout sorbet

The menu is simple and , so I would definetly make sure that everyone in your party was happy with the possible selections before making a reservation.

The room, successfully invoking the feeling of railroad era gone by  was nice, not particularly cramped and nice high ceilings.

The place was also a bit loud, but that could be the result of dining on a Friday night.  The bar area is a  least the size of the restaurant and at one point the line for the bathrooms (coed) was baffling long.  Perhaps someone (or some two) was trying to recreate the bathroom experience at The Box in NYC.

Very interesting meal for an anniversary.
