  • I thought to myself - this will either totally live up the Bellagio's greatness, or it will be a very pricey mistake. Michael Mina was outstanding. The decor is under stated and warm: high ceilings, caramel hued wood accents, white table clothes and simple, delicate bud vases with pink mini calla lilies. George and I both had the seasonal 5 course tasting menu with sommelier wine pairings. Three out of the five dishes were outstanding - and the other two were nearly as good. The amuse the mouth (or whatever, sadly, I'm not great remembering even the most basic and important French culinary terms) was a cold fingerling potato with a piece of smokey pancietta and a weird green sauce. Good, but I've had better. The first course was a delicious sashimi course with coconut, mango and red onions that was flavored lightly with sea salt. It was a very good dish, and went well with the Vueve they served it with, but wasn't AMAZING. Just a nice way to begin a decadent meal. The second course was lump crab meat soup with sweet white corn and shaved fennel. All of the ingredients were delicate and high quality, but they put this "broth" over it to make it into soup that was way to damn salty. George pointed out that it must have been to make it taste like the sea - but I found that it overpowered the crab, etc. The third course was outstanding - a filet of sockeye salmon that was cooked PERFECTLY (I'm not normally a big salmon fan) with a crispy skin but tender, bright red-salmon flesh. It was outstanding, hands down. The forth dish was leg of lamb. It was also amazing, although by this time I was feeling the four glasses of wine and can't recall how it was prepared. Desert was a gorgeous arrangement of mission figs with black pepper vanilla gelato, mission fig compote and a square of simple bread pudding. YUM! The service could have been better. Our main waiter at one point made a joke at one of the server's Chinese accent that I found rude and in bad taste. I loathe racially charged humor (unless it's good natured between good friends) and I loathe humor at other people's expense, so that docked him a bit in my mind. Also we asked for a print out of what we ate and the wine pairings, and he never brought it to us. Still - if you want to spend $200 a person on an amazing meal, go!
