| - As usual my partner and I were so excited to try another of the Michael Mina restaurant as we LOVE his menu and cuisine all the time. As soon as we walked in the restaurant, we were tiny bit disappointed as the decor is way below expectation. No more water falls, video screen showing sports at the bar and nothing exciting to look at. We were seated by a brick wall, and no "pardon our dust sign". Time to renovate Mister Mina.
No let's talk about the important part:
Beverage: We started with a Perrier Jouet Glass as it was one of our BD. One glass was the end of a bottle and had no bubble, so we asked to change it which they have done very easily though. Second round of drinks was a Pouilly Fume and was excellent.
Food: We tried about every appetizers on the menu. Lobster Bisque, to die for; Hibachi great, Clams nice, Beef Tartar AMAZING, Veal Carpaccio STAY AWAY, Scallops fritters interesting, the complementary mise en bouche were amazing. Fries were obviously out of packaging but cooked or covered with duck fat and came with a perfect dip.
Did not order dessert as we were full this time
Service: Our waiter was very nice BUT should have mentioned that we were ordering too much, which they usually do. Because he noticed that we did not like the veal nor the fries, he nicely removed it from our invoice which was a nice gesture.
My advice: DON'T GO before they renovate the place which they are schedule to do very soon. Instead, and to stay in the Mina family, try American Fish or Michael Mina
