text: It's hard to miss when you're dining in establishments like the Bellagio, and Michael Mina's restaurant was no exception. So when I was tasked with finding a place for a dinner with family friends, Michael Mina's seemed like a perfect choice.\n\nWe all ended up going with the 5-course tasting menu and I don't think we could've left happier. The tuna tartare is one of those over served dishes that you see on so many menus these days, but I'd be happy to just scoop up spoonful after spoonful of Michael Mina's version. Extremely fresh, with a nice little kick of heat, mixed at the table. As I write this review during my lunch break, I could use a plate of it right now. The other standout would have to be the lobster pot pie. I mean...just look at the name of that dish, how could it be anything but delicious?\n\nSure, the meal will but a dent in your wallet. But you're walking into a top-end restaurant in a top-end Vegas hotel...you already know what you're getting into. That being said, the meal was great from start to finish. And if there had to be a reason I wouldn't go back, it would simply be because Vegas just offers too many great dining options. But even among those plethora of choices, Michael Mina's holds its own.
