This was my first Michael Mina experience. I was a little sketpical at frist seeing that even a fish entree was over $40. The restaurant is inside the Aria, just past the buffet but before Jean Georges. It's a smaller place with wood planeling and an exposed kitchen which was neat to watch.
I was there the last week of August which happened to be restuarant week. I normally steer clear of restuarant week menus but there were so many tasty things to choose from I couldn't have picked just one off the regular menu. For $90 I definitely got my fill and I did the extra $45 for wine pairing.
Very tasty. Some of my favorites were the tuna tartare, the mustard baked cod (literally melted in my mouth!), a steak dish and on and on. Yummy. My friend got the bacon wrapped trout which she loved. Not to be outdone, we also got the truffle mac and cheese which was surprisingly good and I'm not a mac and cheese fan.
Our server, Shannon, took good care of us and the sommelier was very friendly and helpful. This place is $$$$. The lobster pot pie looked amazing (although that copper pot is about 1/3 full at best) and was $85 the night we were there, but probably wouldn't have filled me up. You're partially paying for the location inside Aria, but I thought this was a special meal all the way around.
