This weekend we visited our dear friend Mike M.’s restaurant on his last weekend. Incredible space, incredible food. Kudos to you, Michael, and your culinary skills, and best wishes for your future endeavors.
the space.
Chairs were made in the studio attached to the back of the restaurant. Cool, well thought out designs, with lots of specifics kept in mind, like a free-standing DJ “balcony.”
the cuisine.
yellow peppercorn soup
(I might have gotten this totally wrong…but it was totally delicious).
cheese stuffed bell pepper.
I might have this totally wrong again – it was definitely cheese stuffed in something. I really had no idea what we were eating at times – Mike just kept the food rolling out, and we just kept gorging ourselves. With class, of course.
grilled artichoke topped with goat cheese.
kobe beef sliders topped with humboldt fog (!!!) and frites. homemade ketchup.
paired with some argentinean malbec.
scallops on scalloped potatoes.
laotian pork chop.
land and sea. mouthwatering filet mignon and lobster ravioli.
i missed the grilled salmon, as well as our dessert plate (coconut flan, butterscotch pot d’ creme, chocolate coconut cake) paired with some porto.
The Guild / newton & beardsley, east downtown, san diego.
