With a Robert Rauschenberg on the wall and the kitchen, overseen by executive chef Marc St. Jacques, replicating Michael Mina's cuisine, this elegant restaurant delivers among the very best cutting-edge cuisine on the Strip. How such pristine dishes manage to explode with flavor wows us every time. Starters may include tuna tartare, ancho chile, sesame oil and pine nuts; Dungeness crab tortellini; or “soup & grilled cheese.” It's a lovely challenge to pick an entrée when the choices include braised pork short rib, Anson Mills polenta, quince and hock jus; Maine lobster potpie with winter vegetables and truffle lobster cream; or the porterhouse for two. We therefore suggest ordering the chef’s tasting menu, or the vegetarian tasting menu. That's the fastest way to acquire Michael Mina bliss. À la carte sweet finales have included a mini root beer float. The exciting wine list matches the creative fare.
