Chef Michael Mina\u2019s namesake MICHAEL MINA at the Bellagio Resort in Las Vegas has consistently been at the very top of the city\u2019s dining crown for many years. Guests enjoy elegant, globally-inspired seafood providing an authentic international dining experience.<\/p>\n

Recently, Chef Raj Dixit from Michael Mina San Franciso has taken the helm of the renowned restaurant in Las Vegas. The experience featured modern techniques and worldwide culinary influences that he has infused into the dining experience at Michael Mina\u2019s flagship restaurant. Attending an exclusive preview dinner in their private dining room was an honor to meet Chef Raj Dixit as he prepared a multi-course menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>

An excellent way to begin is the Cherrystone Clams Casino. This exquisite dish featuring horseradish and caviar is a must. Moving on, Dixit outdoes himself with a Duo of Kona Kanpachi Crudo and Kabayaki Collar with white soy, yuzu, and a lovely Kabayaki grilled black truffle \u201csnowball\u201d on the side. On the lighter side, why not indulge in the Dover Sole Grenobloise? Capers, raisin, madras curry, and beurre noisette provide layers of flavor that jump off the plate when accompanied by a soft, warm Parker House Roll with seaweed butter. San Francisco Style Cioppino with Dungeness Crabmeat, Ft. Bragg Uni Roll, and a sourdough crouton provide an authentic San Francisco experience. For an exceptional FINI, Lemon Citrus Custard with tangy candied lemon peel and white chocolate send you off with a satisfied smile on your face.<\/p>\n<\/div>
