A good example of a restaurant in the Mission district: dark walls, interesting lighting and artifacts, and packed on a Tuesday night.
The food was good, while not being spectacular.
We had the Kale and Green Oak lettuce, with peanuts, sardines 'n stuff - crispy and tasty, but perhaps a little bit too much greenery.
Vinegar braised Pork, mop sauce, potato chips, mustard and radish trimmings - this was excellent, and I could have done with seconds.
Salinas Asparagus, steak tartare, green garlic, cress and alyssum. This was good, but the miniscule serving of steak tartare meant that Mrs Page ordered another dish in addition the moment she saw it. That dish was: Chicken liver mousse, mustard, and lovely, lovely bread.
St Vincent's main claim to fame is their sommelier - David Lynch, late of Quince - and his wine selection. At least 100 of their wines are available for under $100 a bottle, and also can be had by the half bottle. This feature seemed to be going down well with last night's diners, as there were open bottles strewn near every table.
