Estiatorio Ornos San Francisco

"In spring 2021, Mina arrived at his now-closed flagship restaurant Estiatorio Ornos, fresh off a plane from Egypt where he had spent a few weeks traveling the country." - Paolo Bicchieri

"Less than three years after its debut, the glamorous FiDi restaurant Estiatorio Ornos will close. The restaurant is owned by celebrity chef Michael Mina and opened in September 2021. Notably, the restaurant took over the 252 California Street space that formerly housed Mina’s eponymous Michelin-starred restaurant, Michael Mina, which closed during the COVID-induced restaurant shutdowns. The final day of service will be April 11." - Lauren Saria

"Or a fish sommelier at Estiatorio Ornos showing off the day’s seafood selection via roving cart." - Dianne de Guzman

"In mid-2021 San Francisco’s most prolific chef and restaurateur Michael Mina flipped his FiDi flagship restaurant into Estiatorio Ornos, an upscale Mediterranean restaurant that draws inspiration from his Greek heritage and Aqua, the seafood restaurant where he launched himself to stardom more than two decades ago. A fish sommelier will walk you through menu options that range from grilled sea bass to phyllo-crusted sole." - Dianne de Guzman, Lauren Saria

"For those in search of an upscale dining experience in the FiDi while still allowing for gluten-free eating, look no further than Estiatorio Ornos. Living at the intersection of Egyptian and Greek cuisines, the menu here includes rich lamb hummus, an entire cart of fish (the ocean’s nod toward gluten-sensitive eaters), and top-brass cocktails including the mighty God of Olympus." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
