Arcadia Description:
San Francisco's restaurant Michael Mina married a steakhouse and its offspring is Arcadia. Mina has created one of the most sophisticated dining spots in the south bay---a chic, elegantly appointed 130-seat restaurant located at the San Jose Marriott. The dinner menu includes Mina classics like the decadent Maine lobster potpie with truffle cream and seasonal vegetables served tableside by the very professional waitstaff. Another classic, whole chicken for two, is fried in duck fat and served with truffled mac 'n' cheese. Frying the bird whole crisps the skin and keeps the meat inside greaseless. The high-end steak menu includes filet mignon, grass-fed skirt steak and dry-aged New York strip as well as bone-in specialties like a 20-ounce cowboy rib-eye, Berkshire pork chops and Colorado lamb T-bones. If you're not in a meat mood, go for delightfully fresh fish steaks such as Atlantic arctic char. You can also add seared foie gras, a butter-poached lobster tail and choose from more than a dozen sides---don't miss the roasted wild mushrooms. There are six sauces to choose from including green peppercorn and Worcestershire vinaigrette. Master sommelier Rajat Parr, wine director for the Mina Group, has hand-selected a list focusing primarily on boutique wines from America. Because Arcadia is in a hotel, breakfast is also served. For lunch, check out Mina's playful take on corn dogs---made with lobster.
