Thermidor, the second modern American restaurant from Neil Jorgenson and chef Bruce Binn of Spork, has opened in San Francisco's Mint Plaza.
Binn's 1960s-inspired menu features revivals (some with a twist) of classics such as a mini lobster roll, pommes Dauphine, celery Victor, scallops Newburg and sole amandine, plus the restaurant's namesake - lobster Thermidor.
Pastry chef Kyle Caporicci (Candybar) offers ice cream with all desserts including the whimsical Coffee, Cigarettes and Doughnuts - coffee ice cream, tobacco-infused white chocolate custard, and carrot cake nibbles.
The 27-seat bar and lounge features cocktails from Brooke Arthur (Range) and bar manager Morgan Schick , along with the eclectic bottled beer selection and concise wine list.
