Michael Mina

Bellagio, Las Vegas

Recipient of:
Wine Spectator's Best award of Excellence
One Michelin star






Smooth salted butter and hot bread that did not disappoint.


With an open kitchen concept, it's quite noisy for such a fancy dining establishment.  You can see the kitchen madness and we even witnessed a chef cussing and yelling.  After the whole scene died down, our server came to our table to apologize. 



Soup & Grilled Cheese
heirloom tomato lobster soup





Check out the lobster meat oozing out of the sandwich.


Noticed how there's MM napkin underneath the soup.  I thought it was a nice touch. 


All the awards the restaurant have received.

The meal was overall a satisfying experience.  Though, the servers seemed hectic but still attentive. Aside from the entrees, we find it amusing that a restaurant of this caliber was just serving a fancy version of grilled cheese sandwich for $16 and root beer float for $15.  No doubt it was delicious but we were looking for more innovative dishes in general.
