Mina Test Kitchen

We went to Diane's for lunch on a day we were shopping for my future daughter-in-laws wedding dress. Our reservation was at 1:00, but we weren't sat until 1:45. causing us to miss one of the dress shops we were going to. Because of this delay on such an important day, the manager comp-ted our entire bill, and sent us on our way with two bottles of Bloody Mary mix and a box of warm cookies. What a classy thing to do, it truly made the bride to be feel very well taken care of. Having said all that, I also have to rave about the Bloody Mary's and the amazing lunch we had, everything was delicious and beautifully prepared, will definitely go back, and as often as I possible.

This is one of the better new brunch places to open recently. The bloody Mary’s are good as expected, especially the dirty Diane and the mezcal Bloody. The Backyard Breakfast is huge and very tasty. The scones were a great way to start. The French Toast was different but very tasty. All around, a great brunch option.

What a fun experience!! Diane and Lisa made it feel like you were at a fun relative's home. We sat at the bar and had phenomenal conversation, delicious food and tasty, tasty drinks! Not to mention, they sent us off on our camping trip with two tumblers and a bottle of mix, which was so thoughtful. As far as food, we had the smoked trout salad, polenta and pozole. All three were delectable and different. The salad was light and the smoked trout was great, the polenta was heavier, but SO good. The pozole was hearty and had a lovely mix of spices. The bloody?! Come on now, of course it was delicious and the orange is a MUST! All in all, go. Go eat and drink beautifully!!!

Excellent French toast! (1 slice $11) The Diane's dirty bloody was superb ($14), the bloody maria ($13) way above avg. Back yard bfast ($14) was good, but the "well dressed avocado" was a mere dab of guacamole garnish. The bacon wrapped dates in the bloodies are worth a 🌟 all by themselves. Maybe 2 stars. Service was solid, & attentive. Price is high vs the world, but normal in SF. I'll go back, for sure.
