I had a glass of wine while resting my feet.

I had dinner at Foreing Cinema in the Mission district. This place is amazing, with a large patio showing movies every night, and an indoor room with large windows. But the food is so delicious, who cares about the flick? Service was excellent. I even got an extra appetizer, on the house. Maybe taking pictures of my food and knowing about wine is finally paying off. Or they just had extra. Heh! Either way, I had one of my best meals of the year so far at this place.
