THE EMBARCADERO — Taking over the shuttered Mexico DF restaurant is Region (139 Steuart), a pan-Asian concept from the Unicorn team. It's due to open in the middle of next week after being slightly delayed with tech issues. [Grub Street]
NORTH BEACH — Coi (373 Broadway) pastry chef Matt Tinder has a new dessert tasting menu that's being offered as a five-course midweek special on its own, or as a supplement to the regular tasting menu. He'll create new dishes but will also draw from his repertoire from his stints at Saison and Meadowood. [ISSF]
INNER SUNSET — Nopalito on 9th (1224 Ninth Ave.) is going to open up outdoor seating soon. Yes, it gets warm enough for al fresco dining in the Avenues to be appreciated. Sometimes. [7x7]
POST FIG-GATE — Two years on from David Chang's "figs on a plate" brouhaha, SF is dubbed a pioneering "culinary capital" once again. This latest compliment stars David Kinch, Christopher Kostow, Daniel Patterson, Corey Lee, and James Syhabout. [WSJ]
