Michael Mina at the Bellagio
Michael Mina at the Bellagio may very well have the best seafood in Las Vegas. It is fantastic. We have been a fan of this restaurant since it opened and was orignaly called Aqua. It is back in the Atrium area of the Bellagio, so there is always something to look at special here (For example the Thanksgiving flower arrangement, the Train and small town scale model set up in exquisite detail – I mean it is the Bellagio). The food in this place is awesome. My favorite dish (if you like shellfish) is the lobster pot pie. I like lobster by itself and was unsure about this one baking it in a pot pie with vegetables, etc…, but it is probably the best lobster dish I have ever tasted. This is the specialty of the house. This place is also for those that don’t love seafood. The vegetarian tasting menu is truly something special. Vegetarian’s don’t usually have lots of choices in upscale restaurants, but Michael Mina prepares a five course vegetarian tasting menu that could be the best and most upscale vegetarian meal I have ever seen. My wife loved it!
