| - I came here with a large group because I wanted to try one of Michael Mina's restaurants and liked the SF themed menu. Between the 12 of us, we ordered a significant variety of food, all of which was delicious. I ordered the pork belly (which was incredible), my wife ordered the spare ribs (which were also great), and we shared a salad (which was equally as delicious). Other notable orders within the group were, Kobe burger (and sliders), lobster rolls, NY steak, caesar salad, and chicken. Overall, the food tasted very fresh and true to its flavors. Also, the service was impeccable. My wife ordered a cucumber Collins, and the bar did not initially have a cucumber on hand to make the drink so our waiter suggested a very close alternative to my wife, which she loved. Thereafter, he had gone to get a cucumber so that they would have it on hand in the event she ordered another (which she did). I will definitely make this a regular stop for us in Vegas.
There is one negative from the entire experience, which was merely with regards to policy. In order to make a reservation for a group of 11 or more (even in the main dinning room without any preset menu) there is a nonrefundable booking fee of $125 that is a flat fee and does not go towards the bill. Additionally, there is a $500 deposit (which does go towards the bill) and a minimum of $75/ person and the average per person cost for our group was $60-$70, after tax and tip. We ended up making two reservations for 6 and requested to be next to one another, however, they were not able to so (although a party of 13, divided into a group of 6 and 7, were able to be seated right next to each and were even allowed to push the tables next to each other to make one long table for all 13 - the only difference between our groups was that theirs was comprised of all middle aged white males).
