I went on a Thursday night and the restaurant was about half empty yet still very loud - I guess because of the open layout. The service was good but unfortunately the food was not.
Since I wasn't that hungry decided to go with two appetizers: caesar salad and a lobster roll. The caesar salad was presented as three stacks about 3" high of romaine lettuce leaves coated in dressing, each stack was topped with a 1" anchovy, and a little bit of black olive puree drizzled around the plate for decoration. The caesar dressing was heavy and bland - tasted like mayonnaise out of the jar - and there weren't enough anchovies or olives making this completely tasteless.
Next came the "lobster roll" which was three small pieces of bread that had been fried in butter and topped with a lobster salad that was just nasty. The lobster was minced in a (a LOT of) aioli with (a LOT of) celery and tomatoes. Could not taste any lobster whatsoever and overall was greasy, garlicky, and gross.
Only saving grace so to speak was the glass of red wine that my waitress poured quite generously. Overall two appetizers and a glass of red wine was $60. I have been to many Michael Mina restaurants across the country so was not expecting cheap but I was expecting good. This was NOT GOOD!
