Michael Mina did not fail to disappoint in creativity and flair in regards to Food...And the Service was absolutely impeccable...
I went for one of my Birthday Dinners in 2006 and did the 7-course Seasonal Tasting Menu with the Wine Pairings. Every dish was in 'Trio' style.
I had told the restaurant that it was my birthday when we made the reservation and let me tell you, not only did they have thoughtful handwritten birthday card signed by Michael Mina (I'm sure he just signed the card, but hey, it was the thought that counts, right?), but they also gave us extra courses as well as extra glasses of wine & champagne. Needless to say, I was pretty plastered by the end of the night.
Note To Self: Wine Pairings on a 7 or more course meal is a very bad idea...
So anyway, because there was so much to the meal, I honestly couldn't even tell you about what I had. It was a Gastronomical Overload.
Because of this very fact, I would say that Michael Mina's was memorable, more so for the Experience. Don't get me wrong, the Food was great, but I probably would not do the 7-course meal were I to go again.
At the end of the nite, they had written a personalized 'Happy Birthday Rose!' in chocolate on my Trio of Dessert Dish...
It was truly a memorable experience! As was the bill at the end of the nite! Fortunately, with all of the wine and extra champagne, we were inebriated enough to numb the initial shock of receiving that bill...
All in all, I am sure Bacchus looked down at us and laughed his ass off...
