Locals and visitors alike flock to RN74, Michael Mina's downtown outpost, known for "creative, modern, yet simple interpretations of regional French cuisine," –often presented in the most beautiful manner. In the chic lounge area, visitors enjoy delectable treats like chilled tiger prawns, oysters and duck fat fries. Talented Chef Shawn Applin recently joined the team, bringing menu standouts like the Anderson Ranch Lamb Loin (with charred eggplant puree, mustard seeds and mustard greens), the Ora King Salmon (with truffled lentils, crispy sunchokes, fines herbes) and the Coffee-Crusted Torchon of Foie Gras. For the grand finale, do not miss the hand-cut warm beignets (with Macallan butterscotch custard and confectioner's sugar). But perhaps, most importantly, patrons return for RN74's extensive wine list. From boutique Northwest wines to extremely rare vintages from Burgundy, RN74's collection of more than 2,200 bottle selections makes this a mecca for wine lovers from near and far.
