text: Michael Mina was unfortunately an underwhelming meal I am a strong believer that Yelp reviews should be based on a price quality rating We dined at Michael Mina and had the Signature Tasting menu with the wine pairing extra There was a total of of us including Mr Riches The tasting menu consisted of a course meal with some highs and some lowsnnThe Lowsn The Sea Bass was very dry and rubbery Nobody at the table who had it enjoyed it When the waiter asked how it was one diner said I will be honest with you It is not very good The waiter just did not say anything as he cleared the platen The Caviar I am not a huge fan of smoked salmon This dish is probably just a personal preference issuennThe Highsn The kobe steak was the best part of the meal Well flavored and cooked greatn The Lobster Pot Pie had a lot of lobster and was deliciousnnI was also quite surprised that there was not any amuse buche with the meal Nor were there any small chocolates or jellies at the end I think that a tasting menu should always include these nice surprises especially at a fancy restaurant Based on the fact that dish was underwhelming and dish was bad paired with mediocre service and no surprise dishes Mina to me is simply a star
