text: I'm a little torn with this place.   How does one boil your thoughts about a place down to 1-5 stars?  What I've found is that the most memorable things about a place will drive the stars up if they were great, even if overall the place wasn't that superb.  \n\nIn the case of MIX, the stars might have been driven higher than the 3 I gave it, if I had followed this method... because the dramatic ceiling installation (see pictures) and the 5***** appetizers were amazing!  But the main courses were underwhelming all around the table and the service was lackluster.  Add it all up, and then remember the outrageous prices, and a 4-5 star review quickly gets knocked down to a 3.  \n\nFirst the good...\nThe installation and decor as a whole... well, not much more to say than it made an impression.  But even with decor, I felt that the all white and mother-of-pearl layout got lazy after the drama of the ceiling, especially when they underachieved on taking advantage of the spectacular view of the strip it could have.  But decor is decor...\n\nThe food...\nLike I said, the apps were top notch.  The foie gras and sashimi apps were amazing, as were the others.  However, the main courses took a nose-dive.  Maybe this was because were were there around 10-11pm, their last seatings at the end of the night... but this is Vegas?!  Where midnight is like 3pm.  Plus charge what they do and it better blow my mind. It didn't. \n\nDisappointing.
