    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    The manager walking away after he discriminated against us as you can clearly see in this photo customer wearing a hat
    Chris M.

    Absolutely discriminatory Service by Domingo, the manager that runs this establishment. I was told no hats allowed in this restaurant which we were OK with until we clearly pointed out. Somebody wearing a hat while dining. We brought it to the Manager's attention and he said since they were getting ready to leave shortly it did not apply to them. Here's the picture to prove it.

    We chose this restaurant to celebrate my 60th birthday due to its Michelin star rating. The restaurant is located inside the Bellagio Hotel. It had a boujee feel as you walked in but unpretentious. Wait staff all very well dressed. We opted for the tasting menu. I prefer wait staff describe the menu but he only chose to inform us of extra entrees available. Sure, we could read it but I wanted a description of each dish and how the meal would progress. I had the Old Fashioned and it was one of the best I've tasted!! Perfectly balanced. Loved that they used a small block of ice with the letter "M" etched in it. Nice touch!! Our wait staff also recommended an excellent Pinot Noir that paired well with our meal. Plating was exquisite and satiated all five senses. The rib eye was so soft compared to the wagyu. Fish glistened as it was cooked to perfection!! Everything was amazingly delicious!! A few opportunities for improvement that should be addressed as this is a Michelin star restaurant. Here are the reasons I did not give it a 5 star. While the food was impeccably plated and well seasoned, I thought temperature wise, specifically with the meats, it was not served hot. The dessert was also very underwhelming. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.

    From start to finish, the Michael Mina team was gracious and efficient with every step of the dining experience. The ambiance is fun with classic decor and music playing at an appropriate volume to allow for conversation. This is definitely a high end meal if you stop in. The food was amazing and well balanced in flavor so you can taste each and every flavor listed on the menu. However, as it is a fine dining experience, you should expect potential delays between courses. The Better Weather cocktail was refreshing and delicious especially for those who enjoy sweeter cocktails. I will certainly be back.

    After a while away, I took my family back to Michael Mina's this past Saturday, and once again, it exceeded expectations. Service: The service here is nothing short of impeccable. They remember all our allergies, preferences, and little quirks, making you feel like a truly welcomed guest the moment you arrive. The Food: I'm always impressed by their creative salads, and this time, the Fall Chicories Salad was no exception. I'm usually not one for goat cheese, but the balance with candied pecans and persimmon was so well done that I enjoyed every bite. We tried the grilled prawns and golden king crabs....... and if my meal ended there, I would have been happy. That grilled garlic with the butter sauce on the side...... need I say more? We also had our staple favorite, the tuna tartare--that sesame oil just elevates the flavors. And for anyone with a nut allergy (like my daughter), they can prepare it without pine nuts, and it's just as good. I ventured to try the Bolinas Black Cod this time, and it was a delightful surprise. Unlike the denser miso dishes in most places, this dish was light yet filling, with bok choy, truffle, and a broth that added layers of flavor. Highly recommend if you're looking for something on the lighter side. Another must-order for me: the whipped potato purée--easily one of the two best I've ever had (the other being at Smith & Wollensky). Dessert: For dessert, we sampled several options, but the standout was the coconut soufflé with black sesame sauce. It's a bit sweet, but for those with a shared sweet tooth, it's fantastic. The meal ended with the nostalgic touch of root beer floats--a fun, memorable tradition that makes each visit feel special.

    Sweet birthday treat

    Came here for our fancy dinner night with our friends while visiting Vegas. Celebrating my wife's birthday our friends anniversary. Starting out the waiter brought out a complimentary glass bubbles for everyone, which was a very thoughtful and unexpected start to our evening. More places should do nice gestures like this, it goes a long way, especially when you're about to spend several hundred dollars on a nice meal. The service continued to be exceptional when the waiter noticed our spouses needed a place for their purses, so they brought over table hangers for their bags, very nice. They bring out freshly baked pita with accompaniments (hummus, olive tapenade and tahini) that was delicious and they kept it coming. The menu is on the smaller side, which I don't mind, but they also have their tasting menu. This was a bit challenging trying to decide which direction to go for our table, ultimately we all decided to order separate entree's and some apps. We started with the grilled octopus that was amazing and sea scallops, also awesome. Delicious starters. For entrees, two of us had the phyllo crusted petrale sole which was excellent, one of us had the branzino half fish that was excellent and finally my wife went big with the Michael Mina's Lobster Pot Pie (menu doesn't describe this dish very well). The pot pie comes out table side with a 2.5lb lobster and then they remove it from the pot and arrange it on the plate to look like a lobster. Flavor bomb for sure!! Another very nice gesture, they brought out a nice little desert with a candle for my wife. We didn't have room for dessert but obviously we had to try something. We ordered The Lemon and if you like lemon, this is amazing and for you!! We didn't order the black forest cake but it accidentally came out so we ate it. All the desserts were beautiful creations. Overall we had an amazing experience!!

    Foie gras - 5/5 must try

    Sadly, this place was quite a letdown for us... in so many ways. My mom and I had a baby shower to attend in Vegas, so I suggested we come out a night early to have a nice girls night. I was excited to treat her to a nice restaurant and show. We visit here somewhat often as we're just in LA and we love the shows and culinary scene here. My husband and I often seek out Michelin restaurants and chefs tasting menus and we'd enjoyed a Michael Mina restaurant in the past so I assumed any negative reviews were a fluke. Reading back on them now, they were spot on. From the moment we arrived, the front hostesses were less than inviting. We were a little early for our reservation so they told us we had to come back at that time on the dot. Once we sat down, it took about 10 minutes for our server to stop by to take our drink order. I asked about a cocktail I saw on the table next to us as asked for direction to something light and refreshing. Before I could finish telling him what I normally drink, he said he'd get me this Golden Hour Cocktail, which looked questionable to me. The cocktail was terrible, combo of tart, sweet, overall strange. He replaced it w the cocktail I normally drink, which is a cucumber gimlet. I'd give it a 4/5. From there, it took 15 minutes for them to come back to take our order. At this point we began to realize how pretentious this place was, which is strongly not our vibe. The tasty complimentary naan bread and dips came after we ordered dinner, about 35 minutes after seating. My mom doesn't drink so this was a rather long wait for her w water from the start. We wanted to try a bit of everything but thought we'd have more fun off the tasting menu so we could enjoy the order of foie gras, octopus, caviar experience and duck fat potatoes. The server took our order w very little personality or input. We got: Foie Gras - this was possibly the best we've had. The flavor profile was dynamic and on point. I could have licked the plate 5/5 Hamachi - this was nice, nothing wildly special. Fresh, clean, nice textures, fun flavor. 4/5 Duck fat potatoes - pretty lacking. They definitely should have served them w some crisp. The beauty of duck fat potatoes is flavor *and* fry. We left 3/4 of them over. 2/5 Octopus - absolutely terrible. It was so chewy I wanted to spit it out but couldn't bc I had stupidly taken a rather large bite and it all just felt wrong to spit that into my napkin or worse off to a plate. We sent it back. 0/5 50g Connoisseur Caviar Service - $350 Something very interesting happened at this exact point of the meal - the service from staff went from pretentious and too busy to really care to "oh YOU'RE IMPORTANT now". This was an awkward and uncomfortable flip of the switch for us both. The service stepped up a few notches from here. We were presented w giant platters of accompaniments for each of us. Grated hard boiled egg, minced red onion, and what I imagine was Crème Fraîche w chives mixed in plus 1 of each - potato pancake, blini, brioche toast. The server had kindly brought a side order of the potato pancakes bc we had already told him we don't like blinis. The caviar was lovely, everything I love in a caviar. Unfortunately, the rest was pretty sad. Poorly executed and wildly dated, IMO. The crème was thick, a bit grainy, lacking the smooth silky creaminess from its lovably character. The rest just overpowered the gentle brine and creaminess of the caviar. The potato pancakes were dense, greasy and lacked any crisp whatsoever. McDonald's hash browns would have been a massive upgrade from these. The blinis were about 1" thick, greasy and while pleasant in flavor, not anything I would let the flavors of my caviar get lost to. The brioche toasts were the best of the options, but honestly I would have rather had simple but masterfully done homemade potato chips w a side of crème fraîche, herbs and lemon wedges. This was served w choice of champagne and/or vodka, both given to us to decide. They seemed willing to give us the world since our caviar service order. Overall it felt like $150 caviar w a whole lot of garbage fluff to fill in the $200 gap in price. Do better. We finished w the Black Forest cake, which was divine and well balanced. 5/5 We paid just under $700 after tax and tip and I so badly wished we'd gone somewhere else. We were left unsatisfied and let down. Luckily the show after was incredible so not a total loss. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO DO BETTER. In no way does it represent a Michael Mina experience. I would never come here again and I certainly wouldn't recommend it. Vegas has far too many beautiful culinary experiences to compete with.

    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!

    This review has nothing to do with the wine, the tasting experience, the service, or the decor. We…read morenever even made it that far. We had a confirmed reservation for Friday, December 19, 2025 at 6:30 PM for a party of seven. The reservation was made online, accepted, and confirmed by email. I even received an email the day before asking me to confirm that we would be there, which I did. On top of that, I called the night before with questions about the menu. Although there is no direct phone line to The Wine Cellar, I was connected to a concierge who, while not fully familiar with every detail, took the time to review the website and menu with me. At no point was there any indication that the wine cellar would be closed. Everything showed as open, normal hours, reservations active. We arrived on time for our reservation and found the place completely closed. This was not a casual drop-in. It took effort to get this group together. We had friends in town visiting who Ubered to the location from The Strip, we drove in from North Summerlin, and others came from Henderson. We dressed up in holiday attire and planned this as a special night out leading into Christmas. It mattered to us. Instead, we were left standing there confused and disappointed, and ended up spending the rest of the evening sitting at another bar in the casino eating nachos. Not exactly the Napa-inspired wine experience we were excited about. If a business is closed, it should not be accepting online reservations, sending confirmation emails, or asking guests to reconfirm their attendance. Employees and concierge staff should be aware of closures. And if something truly unexpected happened, a facility issue or last-minute closure, then someone should be contacting guests with confirmed reservations. That would not have been difficult. We relocated to Las Vegas from Northern California years ago and were genuinely excited to visit a Napa inspired Wine Cellar because we miss that wine culture and wanted to share it with friends. As locals, it is incredibly disappointing to see a business handled this way. I want to support places where I live, but this experience left us frustrated and upset. This was a big letdown and, honestly, a shame.

We walked right in & the place was dead with only 2 other tables filled. We got seated right away & service was polite & attentive. The ambiance felt like you're in a vintage cave similar to one of the wineries we've been to Napa. It felt relaxing & personable. Hubby ordered the worldwide red wine adventure which included 3 flights...a Malbec, Tempranillo, & Chianti. I had the Joe's the best of the best Cabernet which included 3 different pours of Cabernet. I'm from LA & have always been into cabs but recently have transitioned to old world wines bc it pairs better with food in my opinion. However, hubby suggested we have an open mind & order both the old world & new world wines. Surprisingly, I thought the cabs tasted better than the old world wines. The cabs listed on the menu are ones that I've never had before & it was bold as expected but solid. I've had better old world wines so it was just okay. With that being said, I don't mind coming back to try other wines on the menu.

    Lamaii has become our go-to for Thai food. Ever since we discovered it, we've brought just about…read moreall of our favorite people here. The space itself is inviting with stylish décor and a warm, modern atmosphere that makes it perfect for both casual dinners and hosting friends. Service is consistently excellent--attentive, welcoming, and polished every time we visit. Our Usual Order: 1) Garlic Herb Crispy Prawns - Hands down some of the best in the city. The prawns arrive perfectly crisp with a generous coating of golden garlic and herbs. Each bite has that satisfying crunch before giving way to tender shrimp. 2) Mango Crispy Catfish - A beautiful contrast of textures. The crispy catfish is topped with bright slices of mango and finished with a chili-lime dressing that ties everything together. The dish is vibrant, colorful, and bursting with flavors. 3) Crab Fried Rice - The rice comes generously packed with large pieces of crab and works perfectly alongside the other dishes. It's hearty enough to share. 4) Dessert here is as much about presentation as it is about enjoyment. The Mango Sticky Rice is beautifully plated, and the Egg Yolk Ice Cream is a unique treat that's rich and creamy without being overly sweet--the perfect way to end the meal. The wine list is surprisingly impressive for a Thai restaurant. We usually pair our meal with Orin Swift Blank Stare Sauvignon Blanc, which complements the dishes wonderfully. There's also a full bar, and the Lamaii Old Fashioned is worth trying--smooth, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. If you're looking for a spot with great atmosphere, attentive service, and dishes that are consistently well-executed, Lamaii is always a solid choice.

    Long overdue review - I've been coming here for about two years now anytime I'm in town and it's…read morealways the place that I look forward to eating at. Coming from LA, we have decent Thai food, but honestly this place blows everything else out of the water. Tucked in the corner of a shopping mall with quite a few other restaurants, you might miss it if you're driving by. Here are the dishes we've tried so far: Pad Thai (9.5/10) - The best pad thai I've had - nice and moist, with great flavor. I'm normally indifferent to pad thai but having this one makes me realize that most of the other pad thai I've has been dry - no wonder I enjoyed this one so much more. Garlic Herb Crispy Prawn (10/10) - The star of the show - nice, large prawns fried to perfection and covered with a tasty garlic sauce. This is the one we get every time we go. Gang Pu (7.5/10) - Solid amount of crab meat in a curry sauce. The vermicelli noodles come on the side and you can add them into the sauce when you want. It's good but I wish there was a little more curry sauce in the dish. Pra Dook Pad Pren (7/10) - On taste alone this probably gets a 9/10 but we thought the portion was a bit small. The catfish is very tasty and the sauce was on point. Just wish it was a little bigger portion. Panang w/ Crispy Duck (9/10) - the duck is very moist and flavorful, swimming in the panang curry it's really a wonderful dish. There is a good amount of sauce which we like so we can add it onto the steamed rice. Panang w/ Crispy Prawns (8.5/10) - See above but with crispy prawns instead of duck. Enjoyable but I think I prefer the duck a little more for this type of dish. Garlic Green Beans (9.5/10) - Didn't know what to expect but really pleasantly surprised with this dish. The green beans are covered with a super flavorful garlic sauce. A nice compliment to any of the other dishes considering there's not a ton of vegetable options on the menu. The tasteful traditional decor and dark wood sets a nice mood for a pleasant meal. Sure, the view out of the window could be better (you just get a view of the corner of the parking lot) but other than that I can't complain. Also, the service is really stand out - they always treat us very nice and check on us regularly. Shoutout to Pinky - she's super sweet and they've given us a little ice cream dessert when we've come on our birthdays. In a city with so many great food options this one stands out for me. Can't wait to go back!
