Medicine Turns Up the Heat for a

Passionate – Vegetarian! – Valentine's Day Dinner

For one night only, Wednesday, February 14, Medicine's Japanese fare

will show a sensual side with aphrodisiac spices, champagne,

chocolate truffles and a live classical guitar serenade.

San Francisco, CA: Internationally acclaimed for its new-shojin

Japanese cuisine of the Zen monasteries of Kyoto, Medicine will make

a departure from this serious, healthful fare for one night only,

Valentine's Day, and offer an exquisite vegetarian feast that speaks

to the senses. Executive Chef Bryan Waites is developing a six-

course, fresh, seasonal, sensual Japanese menu to celebrate love on

Wednesday, February 14.

 

Waites will be using special spice blends that contain aphrodisiac

qualities to raise the heat level, and will draw on his training as a

classical French chef to create visually stunning presentations. The

dinner will cost $50 per person, including tea service, and artisan

truffles made exclusively for Medicine by Chocolat Christophe. There

will be a live, classical guitar serenade in the dining room from 6 –

10 PM. Medicine's regular tasting menus will not be available on

Valentine's night.

 

Reservations are now being accepted at (415) 677-4405 or online at

www.medicinerestaurant.com. Reservations may be made for seating for

the Valentine's dinner from 5 PM to 9:30 PM; after that the a la

carte menu will be available. Medicine is located at 161 Sutter

Street near Union Square in downtown San Francisco in the Crocker

Galleria. The restaurant has a private entrance and elevator on

Sutter Street.
