| - Went for dinner with family from out of town on Friday night. First, I am a big fan of steak joints, and second, I am a big fan of Michael Mina, so I was really excited. Yeah, yeah, the fries are great, but you could probably fry shoelaces in duck fat and they would be tasty- bottom line, how was the steak? Answer: Pretty good, but it did not blow me away. I had the ribeye, because that is my measure of a place and it was, well, pretty darn good. What did blow my doors off was the prices of wine, or in this case, whine. Our wine tab came to $350 for one ok bottle and one very tasty bottle. However, I could have re-created that for about $75 bucks at Bevmo and costco. I mean, I get it- super swank wine display, big name chef owner, but seriously. Really good food- go for the lamb, but not quite worth the $$$$.
