A new restaurant is coming to the Mission District with some Michelin bonafides, according to a new liquor license application from two local wine experts.
Dominique Henderson — former wine director for one of San Francisco's most celebrated restaurants, Rich Table, and owner of Gemini Bottle Co. — has teamed up with winemaker Alexander Pomerantz to apply for a restaurant liquor license at 2845 18th St. Pomerantz is co-founder of Subject to Change Wine Co. in Richmond.

The new restaurant will be in good company. Its neighbor in the building is Michelin Guide pick Osito, new American restaurant Liliana and home goods store Norden Living. Nearby are Michelin-lauded
