    A scallop appetizer

    Came back for a 2nd time - 2 days after my last visit to try the lobster potpie and it was wonderful. Pretty restaurant and not too noisy. Wonderful food

    Excellent food, prepared wonderfully, and plated so nicely. We really enjoyed the appetizers which were unique and different. The whole experiment was very positive. Special kudos to Marcio who made the night extra special with his menu suggestions and wonderful service.

    Chef Raj just continues to impress! Combine his amazing food with Paul's stellar service, and you've got the best dining experience in Vegas. Actually it's the best we've found on 4 continents! We just need to hit a few more continents to prove that Michael Mina is the best dining experience in the world. Always indulge in the tasting menu. Add the caviar parfait because even if you don't think you'll like caviar, you'll love this creation. Ask about the origin story, because it just adds to the enjoyment. If there's a supplement, it's worth it! The white truffle risotto is a work of art: perfection in a beautiful bowl! The pumpkin cheesecake is so good it should be illegal. Thanks for another world class holiday dinner!

    Came here just for drinks before dinner on a weekday around 7pm So many places were packed or you "full service only" - carbone and lago. Had a delicious vodka cocktail that the bartender changed a bit since I don't like elderflower. It was refreshing and well balanced! They also make mocktails!

    I was excited to try Michael Mina. I had been to his restaurant in SF before it closed and I enjoyed that so much. I expected it to be a bit more like the SF location experience wise, but it was still a lovely dining adventure. It's not fine dining like Le Cirque, Joel Robuchon, or Guy Savoy, but it's definitely upscale with great food and a nice polished feel. The service was great and most of the food was good. I took off a star because of two things: the Caviar parfait wasn't good at all. I felt like it had no taste and was missing something. It definitely wasn't worth the $55 supplement! The crispy prawns were also nuisance to eat. Very messy and food particles flying everywhere when trying to cut it. However, the rest of the meal was delicious. The prawns were still tasty, the phyllo-crusted petrale sole was heavenly and the filet mignon with foie gras was absolutely decadent. I enjoyed the two desserts so much too....a root beer float with the most yummy cookie, and their "the lemon" dessert. "The Lemon" was the perfect way to end the meal. I would definitely try Michael Mina again to try other items. However, the rest of the meal was

    A part of the Bellagio since opening, first as Aqua but since reborn twice as MICHAEL MINA Restaurant, it is under the direction of Chef Raj Dixit that the space secluded behind the Conservatory remains remarkable to this day. Always a special place, and picking up pace in early-Winter, it was at a windowside table that four guests were situated just past to 7:30pm, Carte Blanche once again deferred to the kitchen who can always be trusted to prepare a menu of pure opulence. Designed as an eight-course tasting, with white glove treatment afforded to all in attendance, it was following a Champagne toast that the night started with Michael Mina's timeless Caviar Parfait commanding attention from black Eggs to crispy Potato Cake with palates cleansed between bites by Belvedere Vodka. Delivering Crudo and housemade Laffa next, the first of two baskets complimented by a trio of Spreads, Tagliatelle arrives with French Butter ready to be lavished with freshly shaved Italian White Truffles from Tuscany. Always seasonal, two of Mina's famous Pot Pie served tableside with a generous amount of Lobster, Friday's Fish course consisted of gently cooked Turbot bathed in aromatic Dashi fortified by Truffles and freshly shucked Peas. Not holding back with Muscovy Duck and its Liver plated with Mushrooms, the Sorghum-Pistachio Streusel tying into a palate cleansing Float, Dessert is always an all-in affair on this evening finding elegant Apple Tart Tatin alongside Pecan-Praline Shortcake and an upgraded Espresso Martini.

    Dined here with the wife on a Saturday night; 6:30pm reservations. Based on the name, location and reputation we had high hopes for the meal but unfortunately those expectations were mostly not met. We were seated promptly at our reservation time by a friendly and welcoming hostess. Note that this is a smaller venue with an open kitchen and the expediting area is in close proximity to much of the dining room so it's a pretty loud environment with rather bright lighting. That didn't bother us but I only mention it in case you are looking for a quiet, dimly-lit romantic spot - this ain't it. The main reason for my review downgrade to four stars was the spotty service. I'm not sure if we happened to catch them on a night when there were staffing issues but it seemed like tables were being attended-to at rather random intervals. For example, after we sat down our server Elliot welcomed us almost immediately, taking our drink order and delivering the drinks promptly. We were then presented with menus after drinks were served (a little odd that they wouldn't just give you menus upon seating like most restaurants) but we then waited a rather long time for Elliot to return to take our order. In the interim another couple was seated at the table next to us and they had to actually ask for menus as they had waited so long for them after sitting down. As we are not opposed to a nice leisurely meal we normally order appetizers first and entrees when finished however when my wife overhead the menu issue next to us (coupled with the length of time we had already waited to order) she said "Let's order everything as soon as he comes back." At one point after we were waiting for awhile my wife saw our server at the expediting station look over at our table and say something along the lines of "Why don't they have food yet?" We also laughed a little when, after we had mostly finished eating, the general manager came to our table to tell us to enjoy our meal. I guess he didn't see our mostly empty plates by then lol. Just a very weird service experience overall for this type of restaurant. After ordering our food we had hoped to receive the bread service as we had been watching various surrounding tables receive it but again we waited quite some time. They did present a lovely amuse bouche of Asian beef broth which was quite tasty. When the bread eventually did arrive we really enjoyed the Parker rolls which were seasoned in a sort of "everything bagel" style and accompanied by delicious cultured butter. As for the food itself we did enjoy the meal but I can honestly say nothing really moved the needle tremendously, especially by Vegas Strip fine-dining standards (which admittedly is a high bar). My wife started with the kale salad and I ordered the grilled oysters. She liked the salad and the oysters were perfectly cooked in a lovely miso butter. That was probably the highlight of the meal for me. For entrees we shared phyllo-crusted sole and the butternut squash agnolotti. The fish was again cooked perfectly although I felt the crust could have benefited from additional seasoning as that type of fish can definitely hold it's own with aggressive flavors. Ironically the agnolotti was almost too-heavily seasoned with the traditional "pumpkin pie" type spices which overwhelmed the tender pasta and sauce. For side dishes we ordered the crispy potatoes and the brussels sprouts; both were very good with the sprouts being a real standout as they were bathed in an unctuous fish sauce with a chopped peanut garnish (think "Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts" - yum!) Overall this wasn't a really memorable meal and we likely won't be back. I'd give it a final rating of about 3.5 stars. With all of the options available on the Strip we just didn't feel that anything merited a return visit. Our meal came to $283 before tax & tip which included three glasses of excellent white wine poured tableside along with the two appetizers, two entrees and two side dishes.

    Lobster pot pie
    Benjamin H.

    Great experience Tuesday night at Michael Mina! The service here is incredible, true fine dining experience. I had the hamachi crudo... it was ok and then of course I had to get the lobster pot pie! It was delicious. Not too salty and rich which was almost pleasant surprise cuz I feel everything with lobster is super rich but this dish was pretty perfect. If I come back I would definitely try something different for an entree as it's just a lot of food... I think it's ideal for two ppl. Oh the bread service here is the best I've ever had ... unbelievable! Gorgeous restaurant too! Like I said before the service here is truly amazing I really appreciated them, waitress was extremely friendly! (Pretty Hispanic lady I forget her name). Would come back for sure..

    Another amazing dinner at Michael Mina celebrating an anniversary! Paul was our server, and he and his team didn't disappoint! Service was friendly and they treated us to a complimentary round of champagne and a pre dessert sweet treat to celebrate our lovebirds. Consistently delicious with amazing service inside the lovely Bellagio!

    Special meal for Valentine's Day. The wait staff was good, and the food was beautifully prepared and presented. Was a wowed- no. But I was pleased. I was expecting to be rushed through- our meal took almost 3 hours.

    We chose this restaurant to celebrate my 60th birthday due to its Michelin star rating. The restaurant is located inside the Bellagio Hotel. It had a boujee feel as you walked in but unpretentious. Wait staff all very well dressed. We opted for the tasting menu. I prefer wait staff describe the menu but he only chose to inform us of extra entrees available. Sure, we could read it but I wanted a description of each dish and how the meal would progress. I had the Old Fashioned and it was one of the best I've tasted!! Perfectly balanced. Loved that they used a small block of ice with the letter "M" etched in it. Nice touch!! Our wait staff also recommended an excellent Pinot Noir that paired well with our meal. Plating was exquisite and satiated all five senses. The rib eye was so soft compared to the wagyu. Fish glistened as it was cooked to perfection!! Everything was amazingly delicious!! A few opportunities for improvement that should be addressed as this is a Michelin star restaurant. Here are the reasons I did not give it a 5 star. While the food was impeccably plated and well seasoned, I thought temperature wise, specifically with the meats, it was not served hot. The dessert was also very underwhelming. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.

    If one or two people order the tasting menu, does the rest of the table have to order the tasting menu as well, or can they order a la carte? Also, are two people able to share one tasting menu experience? Thanks!

    Everyone has to order it, but they may make exceptions

    Just checked the website. Is Michael Mina still offering the Tasting Menu? I don't see it listed (February 2022)

    Yes there is still a tasting menu offered. One for regular guests and a separate one for vegetarians!

    The classic tasting menu sounds amazing but enormous! Will they allow two people to share one?

    It is not "enormous" at all. Don't be a cheapskate.

    Is there a Corkage policy?

    Yes there is. It is $50 per 750ml bottle up to 2 bottles as long as it is a wine the restaurant does not have. This is standard for all of the Bellagio restaurants.

    Are there vegan options?

    Yes there are!

This…read morewas actually our second visit this year because we enjoyed our first experience enough that I recommended your restaurant to family and friends. Unfortunately, this visit was the complete opposite. From the beginning of our meal, the service was disorganized. Our server repeatedly forgot items we had ordered, including the Warm House Focaccia. After waiting quite a while, I finally asked what had happened to it, only to be told, "Oh sorry, we ran out of bread." Had we been informed when we placed our order, we could have simply ordered something else instead of waiting and wondering. The delays continued throughout the evening. Our entire table waited an unusually long time for our meals, and it seemed like our orders had been forgotten. My wife also ordered the Spritz Flight, but it never arrived until we reminded our server. Even then, it took another five minutes before it was finally brought to the table. Unfortunately, the food itself did not make up for the poor service. Every dish at our table lacked the flavor and quality that we remembered from our first visit. After such a long wait, the meal was simply underwhelming. What made this especially disappointing is that I had convinced another party to join us because of how much we enjoyed our first visit. Instead, everyone left disappointed, and I was embarrassed that the experience did not reflect what I had previously told them to expect. I understand that restaurants can have off nights, but this experience fell far below the standard we experienced on our first visit and the standard we expected from a restaurant at MGM Grand. I wanted to bring this to your attention in hopes that it can be addressed so future guests do not have a similar experience. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. I look forward to hearing from you.

Again neither of us drink but they kept our water glasses full without issue. We ordered the arancini, lobster tacos, bruschetta (salmon, caprese, and prosciutto, and then the dragon shrimp tempura. It took about 15 minutes for the arancini to come out, 4 more minutes for the bruschetta, another minute for the lobster tacos, and about 5 more minutes for the dragon shrimp tempura. We decided to wait until we had all of it for pics and for splitting. The arancini was flavorful and dipping it in the sauce was chef's kiss. The lobster tacos were flavorful; I can see why my friend craved them and why she said she could eat 6. The bruschetta were of okay size. Our favorite was the salmon, then the caprese. The prosciutto was fine, just nothing special. The dragon shrimp tempura was also flavorful although I wish the crispy rice bottom was just a crisped rice patty and not tempura style. All in all it was an enjoyable experience. Servers were friendly and kept us hydrated. Overall, not a bad price point for the amount of quality food.
