| - One of those places where you wish you could order everything or go back every night for a week! The "Create your own salad" where you can choose 10 items from a yummy list is right up my alley, but I'd already had salad for lunch and was ready for some grubbin fresh fish. (They have as many crawling options as they do swimmers, FYI.)
The menu changes according to what's uber fresh, but this is what we had:
*Michael Mina-signature trio of steamed mussels and the soup trio--these are something between small plates and entree-sized plates, let's call them Goldilocks servings. They were juuuust right.
*delicious Arctic Char, less fishy than salmon, but just as flavorful.
*being kind of a picky eater who has to swap out the super starchy sides almost everywhere I go, I was delighted that the sides here for the wood burning grill entrees were chickpea and lentil rice and seasonal vegetables.
* I was so in love with my dish I hardly had room to taste Will T.'s, but his bacon-wrapped Chilean sea bass in toasted garlic jus, cannellini beans, and manila clams was downright dreamy.
After three glutenous days in Vegas, I couldn't fathom dessert, but the chocolate creme brule and chocolate molten cake looked worth going back for.
The service was what you would expect of a Michael Mina restaurant--the servers are all friendly yet professional and have extensive culinary knowledge. When our main server didn't know about the particular wines we were asking about, she went and got a sommalier recommendation that was perfect.
The value:quality ratio was actually very good (for Vegas), about $100/person including a bottle of wine and dessert wine.
