We attended the first Monday night dinner on July 13th and can report back that it was lovely, festive and delicious – plus you could talk to your partners. It was also fun to see the two owners, Karen and Krystin and the rest of the staff looking elegant and energized by the novelty of turning the open space into a dining room.
Collin Hilton cooked on the 13th and he will be back again on August 10th.
The menu on the 13th was amazing. We tried lots of dishes and had no disappointments with quite a few standouts including the beet toast, roasted radishes, wild salmon and lamb steak. Oh, the porcini dashi with a soft boiled egg also popped for all of us. There will be a new menu on the 10th.

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.
As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.
As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
