Michael Mina to Replace His Eponymous Downtown Restaurant With New Greek Seafood Spot
Michael Mina, the Michelin-starred restaurant from SF chef Michael Mina that helped launch a national restaurant empire, is closed for good, and in its place on California Street will be a high-end Greek seafood spot, Estiatorio Ornos.
Named for a beach on the island of Mykonos where Mina says he had a transformative meal, Estiatorio Ornos will be focused on seafood, and will feature different catches of the day and a choice of preparations for each as well as both tasting menu and a la carte options, and a roving cart serving fresh breads and dips like hummus and whipped feta (tirokafteri).

Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is upon us but unlike previous years, the holiday will look very different as couples pull their romantic dinners out of a takeout box, rather than sitting at a table inside.
Throughout the Bay Area, restaurateurs and bar owners are rethinking ways to serve customers on what used to be one of their busiest days of the year, before the coronavirus pandemic. For many, it’s meant fashioning takeout orders, dinner kits and more as a way to remain afloat.
