Sadly, I missed out on the late night happy hour. Here is what I tried though: Grilled Quail (Caraway and Black Pepper Rub, Lemon Puree, Arugula and Radish -$20): The quail itself was light, tender and perfectly accented with a hint of acidity from the lemon puree and minor spice notes from the caraway and black pepper rub. Initially, we were just going to drink, but this dish convinced us otherwise. Wood Grilled Sausages ($13): There are quite a few different types of meat present in this dish (I believe both bison and rabbit were included), and each of the spicy sausage slices is drained in a delectably heavy white cream sauce. Scottish Salmon Tartare (Beet, Horseradish, Pita - $18): Scotch egg covered tartare served with thin slices of slightly warm pita. Use the beets and horseradish to make yourself delicious tartare sandwiches. Salmon Creek Pork Belly (Duck Fat Potatoes, Truffle Puree Frisee and Apple Salad -$35): The belly has nice tenderness and was not overdone (as it is at most restaurants that place it on the menu). Still, it wasn't as light and fatty as some places where I have tried this dish. The complementing flavors were fine but not extraordinarily memorable. I finished it off with a couple of the house's version of the Sazerac cocktail (easily the best one I found in the MGM Grand). These cocktails were made appropriately with just a small hint of simple syrup and the correct notes of absinthe. In closing, NobHill certainly has quite a bit to offer. As it is, I think I'd like to go again to try that lobster pot pie and a number of other appetizers. Strongly recommended if you are eating within the MGM Grand.
