| - My wife and I just had dinner here for my Birthday and I just gotta say: Oh my GAWD!!! This place absolutely rocks!
We both shared the Foie Gras Sliders as an appetizer. Now think about that for a second... What psychotic and degenerate soul would think of making sliders with Foie Gras? Well, apparently Michael Mina would, and they totally rock!
We then proceeded to share a Kobe beef Rib Eye and some scallops. For sides, we got the Mac & Cheese, the spinach souffle, and the trio of mashed potatoes.
Let's just say that I was fondling the Mac & Cheese, drooling, while looking at my wife in very suggestive ways. She got embarassed and I just got off... No, really. The Mac & Cheese totally rocks. The richness of the cheese is cut with the acidity of the truffle oil, and the result is a masterpiece. Bravo!
The kobe steak was pretty good, though not great. The scallops, though, were absolutely tender and beautifully prepared. The mashed potatoes, too, were beautifully prepared. The spinach souffle, while nicely presented, didn't leave a lasting memory. Still, it tasted good enough that it deserves a honorable mention.
The sommelier was also absolutely stunning. We ordered a bottle of Paraduxx Zinfandel. They were out, and the sommelier recommended a bottle by B Cellars instead, slightly cheaper. Well, it was a stellar wine, and it was nice that we didn't feel like he tried to upsell us. Absolutely stunning.
A wonderful experience. I look forward to visiting Michael Mina's other restaurants!
