A: The one star is because that's the absolute minimum I can give. Sat at the bar near the POS for fifteen minutes, watching other guests who arrived after me receive immediate service. Finally was able to place an order, which the bartender Chris got wrong when he was repeating it back to me. He forgot to bring my girlfriend's drink, and we waited an eternity for the bill. I can't stress enough how angry I am to receive such dismal service. Will not be back.
Q: positive

A: Positives: I've never ordered anything here I didn't like. Negatives: Ballantyne pricing. My typical order entails an order of the summer rolls, tom kha gai, and ginger chicken over white rice. Oooh, don't forget to order a Thai Iced Tea!
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: I was there Sunday evening for the 7pm David Copperfield show. The server I got was terrible, rude. I ordered popcorn and she asked "are you paying cash" I asked " you only take cash?" She said "no" ok, so then why ask that question if you take other forms of payment? She said "ok then I will need to take your card." Ok? She came back with the credit card ticket to sign, I knew I would be there for a couple of hours so I said I wanted to keep the tab open so I can order drinks or more snacks, she looked at me and said, "no, because I need to go on my break and I don't want anyone else to help you." Omg, seriously? I guess it was more important that she take her break and get the tip than providing me with a service I feel any customer would expect, I'm sure it's pretty standard to leave the tab open? I was left feeling very shocked and like I was in a low end diner. Very disappointed with that experience. The show was fab though!

Output: This place could be so much better. I had a king suite in the Camelback building. While the size and layout of the room was impressive it really needed some updating. The TVs were all the old tube style. There were stains on the carpet and the pillows on the couch. The outside of this place is impressive but the rooms are something less than desired.

output: You know, I have been here before and the sushi was good. BUT EVERYTIME I ORDER TAKEOUT, MY FOOD IS RIDICULOUSLY HORRIBLE. The first time I ordered takeout, it was okay. Nothing to go nuts about. The second time, my California roll literally tasted like soap and it was warm. Yuck. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and order once more (only because Stingray sucks and RA has terrible service)...okay, my rice was soo sticky on the rolls that I choked on it...like they put superglue on my rice and it didn't finish drying... and my spicy tuna was literally dark brown. Totally unacceptable. C'mon Pearl...I thought you were better than that.
Q: positive

A:
I think Michael Mina is a fitting first review for 2015. There are so many things to love about Michael Mina's location, understated decor and staff and of course the food. It is after all a Michelin star and a AAA 4 diamond rated restaurant. It was a very special family occasion and celebration that brought us to MM. There are several ways to approach a high brow dining establishment like MM and clearly the tasting menu let's you check all of the culinary boxes. Small bites of their best fare served at a measured pace heightens the anticipation and allows you to truly savor each bite. It's not all that easy if you are super hungry so be prepared. Your hunger may actually increase after the first few small plates. Surprisingly there was no amuse bouche which is usually standard at a restaurant such as MM. The bread and rolls would have to tide us over. They offer several seasonal tasting menu options and parings, and the 4 of us mixed and matched and shared a little bit of everything. Case in point, the first course, pure perfection in a barely more than a single bite. DOMESTIC CAVIAR PARFAIT ALDERWOODSMOKED SALMON, CREME FRAiCHE, SHALLOT POTATO CAKE http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas?select=QZa6m2ZO-KVlapG7alTZFg#l_nkq-q-IzL2dFlV_PH8gQ TARTARE OF AHI TUNA ASIAN PEAR, PINE NUTS, SCOTCH BONNET INFUSED SESAME OIL- loved it and not as spicy as one would expect being kissed by the Scotch Bonnet. Great fusion of flavors and of course the best Ahi on the market. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas#gEQ_WWTYb8PeacaBKc0Ltg HAMACHI SASHIMI YUZU VINAIGRETTE, PONZU GELEE, MICRO SHISO-Incredible flavors but painfully small portion of Yellowtail even for a tasting menu. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas#yKhKRwGWL4apEmvSJIXTHQ MISO GLAZED CHILEAN SEA BASS ,SHELLFISH DUMPLING, DASHI BROTH Maybe it's just me but I am losing by fondness of Sea Bass although this may change my mind in the near future. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas#m_99MvkHuIKpGWB859nK8g SEAWEED & PEPPER CRUSTED AHI TUNA BAMBOO RICE, GINGER VINAIGRETTE- Dare I say a bit pedestrian? A nice cut for sure but this did not measure up to the Tuna Tartare. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas#dOLHMrWbYuJs_jUsl5duDw LOBSTER POT PIE SEASONAL BABY VEGETABLES, BRANDIEDLOBSTER CREAM- The restaurants signature dish, was met with so much anticipation. The lobster however seemed a bit overcooked in the pot pie. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas#0eYjItNfS23-ptRNlla0Iw BUTTER POACHED MAINE LOBSTER SPINACH & RICOTTA RAVIOLI, CITRUS BROWN BUTTER-Preferred this simple and perfectly prepared sweet lobster to the pot pie. FILET OF BEEF BRAISED SHORT RIB, ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES, SYLVETTA- tender beef perfection. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas#3M_5KfLDOy47TZSVT0OwQQ COPPER RIDGE RANCH NATURAL VEAL LOIN PORCINI & FOIE GRAS FARRO- Incredible, well balanced and perfectly paired and prepared. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas#HcDb6l1HE-iF6xYJzrjRjw PB &J cake, root beer float and chocolate chip cookie. Not sure this lived up to the rest of the meal. It seemed a whimsical take and well intended effort but not the dessert finish I expected. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas#Y0D82fpDRgidx-JxTDILVA PASSION FRUIT PANNA COTTA AVOCADO,CITRUS, COCONUTLIME SORBET with the Root beer float and chocolate chip cookie. Tart, tangy and unique, the perfect palate cleanser without being overly sweet. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas?select=QZa6m2ZO-KVlapG7alTZFg#os24LwlqJ-TDgMBc1pZY3Q We supplemented the tasting menu with a round of a half dozen Kusshi oysters. The yuzu infused ice as a topping was sublime, citrisy crisp overtones with a hint of spicy. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/michael-mina-las-vegas#cr_emCC82a2BAD0eAfuEyQ The dining room is warm and inviting if a tad loud and cramped. The service was spectacular although our oyster order got lost in the shuffle for a while. All in all MM is a treat and a must try at least once for any foodie visiting Vegas. I know our birthday cousin left feeling on cloud nine and as a whole everyone was more that satisfied.
