    Lobster pot pie
    Paul P.

    This is the second time we've been to Michael Mina's and they did not disappoint. It's a cool restaurant inside the Bellagio with a modern vibe. 5/5 Hostess was really welcoming and seated us quickly after asking about our reservation. 5/5 We started out with the grilled octopus, which was very tasty. We'd have preferred a little less of the Romario based sauce and a tad bit more salt. 4/5 For our mains, I had the 8oz filet, my wife had the lobster pot pie and we got the brussel sprouts and whipped potatoes for sides. All were excellent! 5/5 Server and bussing staff were exceptional. Very friendly and fast. 5/5 Highly recommend if you want a nice night out! They aren't cheap, so expect to pay up.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

Pretty good selection of vittles. Egg and carb heavy IMHO. We really wanted some fruit, but that never came around until we were almost ready to leave. Almost all the hot items were served almost lukewarm. Probably due to the fact we were at one end of the dining room and the servers came in from the other end and made their rounds. Selection was pretty good , but I was craving either bacon or sausage and I never saw any making its way to our table. It did seem that by the time the servers got to our table, their trays were pretty close to empty. So maybe mixing it up a bit and starting at different corners with each rotation? But the food was good, definitely brunchie . Standouts to me were the egg benedict's (two kinds) . And the yoghurt and fruit and the berry dish. Other diners at the table thought the mini burgers and the grits were good. (The grits were too creamy for me, but that is just a personal preference) Other diners liked the flatbreads and the ubi pancakes. They do have a bottomless beverage option as well, and our server happily had the bartender prepare a couple to go drinks before we left. Final opinion, still a good deal and alternative to the buffet, especially with respect to lines and wait times... We'll be back of course, still need to get my applewood bacon.

Unfortunately, our visit this time did not favor as well as our last visit. When reservations were made we were asked if our visit was for a special occasion, in which we told them for a birthday. When seated, we were greeted by our server,Mike. He never introduced himself to us and the only reason I know his name is because I heard the ladies seated across from us say his name. If there were any specials, we were not informed of any. To start, we ordered the roasted beet salad (thinking we could share it), and for our entrees, I ordered the lobster risotto and my husband ordered the spaghetti with meatbalLes (which was tasty). When the salad arrived we realized it wasn't shareable. Our server had not come back to check on us so we flagged down another server and asked him for another salad. We had finished with our salads and still no visit from our server. We finally pushed our salad plates to the side thinking someone would pick them up. Our food is brought out to us by a runner, and our salad plates still there and still no visit from our server. The runner then removes our salad plates. I see that our server is busy with a party of 11 behind us (more money there for him instead of us, a party of two). While eating our food, our server brings a birthday dessert to the ladies across from us and make conversation with them, still no visit to us. We finish our food which was good, then our server arrives to ask if we would be ordering dessert. We reply no because we figured a birthday dessert would be coming out as it did for the ladies across from us. Nope, nothing! All week I felt a little special by the other restaurants we went to in MGM. In the previous nights we had gone to Morimoto and Craft Steak which both did an amazing birthday dessert. I wasn't expecting Luchini's to do something to the same caliber as Morimoto or Craft Steak, but I thought at least something. My score is for the lack of service by our server and yes, no birthday dessert. It wouldn't have been a big deal if the ladies across from us didn't get one. Then I would just think Luchini's doesn't give anything out. But that was not the case. When you go out of town to celebrate and drop some money (because it's not cheap), you want some good service which unfortunately we didn't receive.

There was one guy down @ the end of the bar with a couple other men & he kept coughing & coughing & coughing without even covering his mouth....it got very annoying and eventually he left (thank God!) but then one of the guys started smoking a cigar and it was soooooo stinky & a chic behind us who was smoking a cigarette, which was stinky too. I know these bad habits are smelly but I wish the air circulation in this bar was better. I did enjoy my Lemon Lime Happy Dad seltzer & gambled a little bit but didn't win any money. I have been in this bar twice in the past & had a better experience so I'll give it 4 stars, just like with any place sometimes your visits can be good & sometimes not soo good!

    Sullen employees not interested in being personable…read more Really, it's a no brainer. This is a run down, disconsolate establishment with a formerly elegant past. We used to come to the Tropicana, years ago. There was a gracious, wonderful valet. There was history. There was pride. There were customers. This is the end of days for the Trop.
