| - The last of the Michael Mina restaurants in Las Vegas for me to try out. I have to say, it was quite disappointing. I found the food to be average and not up to par as his other restaurants. Ordered was the Trio of shellfish, Trio of American Kobe Beef, the duck with foie-gras, and suckling pig with perigord truffles.
Of the trio appetizers, the best shellfish dish was the lobster carpaccio and from the beef appetizer, the pho broth, Vietnamese salad. The broth was really good.
I really didn't care for my dish, the suckling pig. And my friend gave me the foie-gras from his duck dish. Now, I love foie-gras, especially seared, but this one needed salt and just tasted fatty and oily (duh).
From past experience at his other restaurants, I don't expect much from his desserts. And the dessert ordered also agreed with my opinion. We both shared the Farmers Market Strawberries with candied fennel, pistachio sorbet, creme fraiche sorbet. Only the pistachio sorbet was tasty, the rest was just blah. The coffee that they serve on the other hand was good. It is his own blend from LAMILL. I wonder if they will sell it to the public?
My quest to eat at all the Michael Mina restaurants in Las Vegas is now complete. If I ever go back to another one again, it would be Stripsteak.
