We were looking forward to Nob Hill after trying StripSteak(another Mina restaurant) on a previous trip. We tried the spring tasting menu with the wine pairing. To jot it down quickly, the appetizers were very good(Caesar Salad & Shrimp Louie), but the main course, the Braised Short Rib was surprising bland. Our best wine was served with the appetizers(Veltliner 'Steinagrund'), while our Pinot Noir was just as uninspiring as the main course. The savior was the excellent desserts(English Toffee & Banana-Caramel Sundae), but the wine was a little too sweet, even for a Muscat. We're glad we tried Nob Hill, but there's a large gap between it and StripSteak.
