Michelin Ratings---Setting the Record Straight! | Wine-Knows

 According to the article:

"It’s the New Year and time to set the record straight about Michelin restaurant ratings.  There seems to be confusion on the varying levels of Michelin restaurant ratings.   In this Blog we’ll review the different levels of these Michelin “grades.”

First, to set the stage, a little history on the Michelin ratings.  The Michelin tire company produced its first book of restaurant ratings in 1920.  In 1926 it introduced a “star system” to denote a very special restaurant with outstanding cuisine.  In 1931 the guide morphed to its present day system with four hierarchial rankings:" . . .

Michael Mina in Westin St. Francis SF is Closing

It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame, on so many fronts.

First, I was a big fan of the Compass Rose which preceded the current Michael Mina Restaurant. It was a comfortable, warm, and welcoming lobby space.

Second, Michael Mina is a very good restaurant, that ate away at public space in the lobby area of the St. Francis.

Third, and lastly, do we really need another steak restaurant, especially in the Westin?!

Read more about this closing on Paolo Lucchesi's post, Michael Mina to close next month, reopen as Bourbon Steak.
