maybe i had high expectations, but i thought micheal mina was just really really good. not great, but def really good. \n\nthe service gets 5 stars! our waiter was amazing, helped recommend some appetizers and remember my name from my reservation. \n\nthe food, i would give 3.5-4:\n\ndrinks: \nmy first drink was a guiness + champagne cocktail. it honestly just tasted like champagne. if it werent for the dark coloring, i would never have guessed there was any guiness in it.\n\ni had a glass of malbec with my dinner. it was quite tasty and had a little bite to it, which i love.\n\nfood:\nbeet salad - GET THIS! this was the BEST thing i ate all night. it's several kinds of beets, red, light red, white + this amazing cheese. i forgot the name of the cheese, but the waiter explained that it's similar to fresh mozz and it is delicious!!\n\nof course, i had to order the famous lobster pot pie. i was surprised that it is an ENTIRE LOBSTER! i thought it was going to be just bits and pieces of lobster in the pot pie, but no - it is an entire lobster cut up w/shell. they serve the dish table side and you watch as they cut the top of the pot pie off and put it on a plate. then they assemble the lobster over the pie crust and pour the sauce w/spinach and shallots over the whole thing. i would have preferred if it was served in a bowl versus a plate. the sauce is pretty rich and creamy, but i was already expecting to ingest a million calories that night. the lobster was delectable. although the dish was really yummy, it was not what i was expecting. i just would have preferred to have lobster meat in an actual pot pie set up. the crust was thin and not flakey at all. if i return, i probably would not order this dish again, unless i was in the mood for lobster.\n\noverall, this is a nice fine dining establishment, but i'd be interested in trying some of the other bellagio restaurants in the future.
