Shiny and new, Mecca makes you feel like Somebody. The focal point of the black and silver room is the huge, circular bar, where bartenders work as fast as they can, mixing up specialty cocktails for the largely gay clientele. Oysters on the half shell are served with a delicious traditional mignonette, and the crispy fried calamari will have you ordering seconds. Chef Lynn Sheehan has been around the S.F. restaurant scene for a while, and she knows what works. The menu is eclectic, and if you stay for more than drinks and bar food, you`ll find the entrees -- particularly the wonderful pizzas û far from disappointing.
Mecca is a fine dining establishment that serves Cajun and Asian dishes. Expect the average entrée to cost over $20, and you`ll be appropriate if dressed casual.
