Fodor's Review:

San Francisco cuisine is the star at Michael Mina's handsome, understated brasserie with clean lines and polished-wood floors. The menu's emphasis is on seasonal regional favorites such as a duet of sturgeon (caviar as well as the smoked fish, served with poached quince and vanilla oil), lobster potpie (containing a huge 2-pound Maine lobster and swimming in rich brandy cream), and steak with seared foie gras and a pinot noir reduction. There are no weak spots in Mina's repertoire. A selection of five flavors of mashed potatoes, such as lobster, curry, or basil, is included with dinner, and you can bet the sourdough bread's the real deal.

I'm sorry to read that SummerLuck had no luck at Nobhill. We ate there about four years ago and had a terrific meal. It was there that we had our first wine pairing dinner, a six-course sumptuous experience. (We passed on the seven-course version that included the lobster pot pie Enough is enough, after all.) The food was beautifully and artistically presented and absolutely delicious as well. The wine pairings were fantastic, and with each new course the sommelier came by to explain why he had chosen that particular wine. We were there very late in the evening, so the atmosphere was a bit hushed, but the setting was plush and lovely. Of course it wasn't a cheap meal, but we thought it was well worth it!

Do not go to Nob Hill if you now what is good for you. I had their "signature" dish the lobster pot pie, and I was up all night in the bathroom vomiting, as well as severe diahrrea for the next 2 days. For a whole day I was in bed, because I was dizzy, could not move, and sick to my stomach. I missed out on a whole day in Las Vegas because of their disgusting food. When I called the manager, he did not help at all and kept denying the fact that it was his dish that caused me to be sick. If you want to waste 2 days in bed in Las Vegas than go to this restaurant, if you are sensible at all stay clear.
