"On October 8, chef and restaurateur Michael Mina and NBA star Stephen Curry rode a cable car down to The Westin St. Francis to cut the ribbon at the new Bourbon Steak San Francisco restaurant and The Eighth Rule bourbon bar. There was a man on horseback outside, and inside, the wall-to-wall tall guests lined up for canapés and dancing girls shimmied everywhere. E-40 was there, so it was a real Bay Function."
"That event was too packed for this invited claustrophobe to follow through on and go, which is a rather funny thing to say when I just reported on the Fred again.. party at the Cow Palace. Suffice it to say that this was a big and splashy opening to celebrate Mina's return to the hotel in a more flamboyant way after the restaurant there being closed for nine years. No other opening has had this level of pomp so far this year."
"The glass room in the plaza at 101 California Street in front of the company's wonderful PABU Izakaya is now a tasting room called PABU-Chan. When I stopped by a couple weeks ago, there were balloons in front, but otherwise no signage that would explain what's in the room unless you walk in and inquire. It looks like an intimate wine bar, but only sake is on the menu."
On October 8, chef Michael Mina and NBA star Stephen Curry rode a cable car to The Westin St. Francis to cut the ribbon on Bourbon Steak San Francisco and The Eighth Rule bourbon bar. The opening featured a man on horseback outside, wall-to-wall guests lined up for canapés, dancing girls, and the presence of E-40, creating an exuberant celebration. The Mina Group also opened a low-key tasting room called PABU-Chan in the glass room at 101 California Street in front of PABU Izakaya. PABU-Chan serves only sake, is not yet licensed for dining, offers a $39 off-menu bento for takeout, and does not require reservations.
