Lauren Kiino.

Where: Coffee Bar, 1890 Bryant (at Mariposa), 551-8100

When: Fri., Feb. 25, 6 and 8 p.m.

Cost: $35 (add $15 for wine pairings)

The rundown: Don't call it a pop-up. Friday night, geologist-turned-Patterson-prodigy Lauren Kiino will return to Coffee Bar for another specially curated three-course Chef's Dinner. Kiino, who helms SFoodie go-to lunch spot Il Cane Rosso, dazzled diners earlier this month with Marin Sun Farms spit-roasted pork and butter-braised mushrooms. This time around, expect olive oil-braised artichoke, leek, and carrot, oxtail stew, and much more (full menu at Coffee Bar's website).

RSVP early; despite Coffee Bar's roomy interior, the last Chef's Dinner sold out fast.
