| - I would give this place 4.5 stars but I'm going to round up. I loved my experience here because the food was exceptional, waiters were nice & friendly, and presentation was stellar. I also pulled my picky self together and asked them to move us to a bigger table and they did this immediately which was very satisfying.
ordered:
1.) Thai-Style 'Kobe' Beef Carpaccio
Glass Noodles, Cilantro, Chile, Toasted Peanuts - This was lovely. It was VERY good! A++
2.) Butter Poached Maine Lobster
Sweet Potato Crpe, Thai Coconut Cream - This was so delicious, I felt like I got a million different flavors from it. I was a bit sad it was small because I just wanted to eat more of this dish..A
3.) Chocolate
Gianduja Semifreddo, Praline Crunch, Caramel Mousse, Warm Chocolate Cake, Mocha Anglaise -Really good combination of desserts..loved it!
The reason as to why I'd knock off .5 stars is because perhaps I had slightly higher expectations because of the name of this place.. nonetheless the food was great, oh and our waiter gave us some extra dessert for free which was really sweet of her :)
Pros:
+ nice setting
+ they change all your utensils and plates several times which was nice
+ waiters are at every corner waiting to re-fill your drinks
+bathroom was really pretty, too :)
Cons:
- just a tad bit pricy..but then again, it's Michael Mina's...what do you expect.
