This was my first time at a Michelin star restaurant so don't have anything to compare it to. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, especially since I sat at the chefs counter and could watch each dish being prepared. We opted for the full 15 course menu and ordered a bottle of wine since wine pairing wasn't offered (perhaps because we were there for lunch). We do not eat beef or pork and the staff was very accommodating, offering substitutes for the couple of dishes that had it. While I enjoyed each dish, there weren't any that were a stand out. In fact, several had a sauce with a similar taste, like a slight hint of curry. On the other hand, some of the ingredients really packed a unique flavor punch, like the tiny mushrooms, white asparagus, and the fresh mustard seeds. The desserts (there were 4 different ones) were probably my favorite. The staff were all very nice and engaged in conversation throughout. Each dish was also perfectly timed. Each course came with it's own very unique dish ware and silverware that was locally made. Overall the experience was worth the price and I'd recommend Mina. read more
