THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Nobhill Tavern Restaurant Review:

Michael Mina's more casual menu fits the restaurant's Tavern moniker, offering comforting dishes with Mina's elegant touches. The dark woods of the bar and semi-private booths at the front of the restaurant create an intimate, sexy feel to the room. Starters appear in the form of snacks and finger foods, from sliders to hearty po' boy sandwiches to a selection of charcuterie including Serrano ham and house-made pâté. Though the signature tasting trios are now gone, favorites such as the cioppino in red pepper broth are still available as full entrées. Daily specials are a nice touch, from meatloaf on Tuesdays to a proper turkey dinner on Sundays. The deconstructed presentation of chicken and dumplings involves crisp chicken drizzled tableside with the creamy, familiar sauce studded with peas and carrots alongside chive dumplings and a subtle kick from spring garlic. Cocktails such as the sugar-rimmed Cable Car, Leblon caipirinha and the Moscow Mule are fun, playful drinks that pair well with the cuisine.
