• Michael Bauer stopped by 54 Mint for a two-star meal of “rustic farmhouse cuisine at its best” that nonetheless lost some points for the chaotic atmosphere and spotty service. It’s real-deal Italian food, though, with “a generosity of spirit that transcends the place.” [SF Chronicle]
• Patricia Unterman got by Schmidt’s, where “High-quality German ingredients paired with skillful on-site cooking and friendly service please everyone.” Especially appetizing: Schnitzel topped with fried egg. [SF Examiner]
