Sorry fellow Yelp Elites, but this Yelper was underwhelmed by Michael Mina's establishment.  Perhaps it is just an extension of the MGM (see separate reviews)... didn't score a touchdown with Hubby and me.  We noted that many of the restaurants in the casino appeared either empty or closed.  When we came out of our concert at 10:45pm, all the restaurants were closed off and dark.  Seems that restaurants over at Caesars or Wynn stay open much later.\n\nSince we were going to see Neil Diamond and didn't want to fall asleep during the concert from a huge dinner, we chose to go with nothing but appetizers.  One glass of wine for me and a Macallan 12 for Hubby.  Wanted to try the lobster pot pie, but thought it might be too heavy.  Anyway, what we chose were:\n\nCaesar salad:  Six skimpy hearts of romaine heavily drenched in dressing with one itty-bitty, teeny-weeny sliver of an anchovy on top!  Oversized, dry, somewhat stale croutons, and two more dried out slices of cheese.\n\nRoasted quail:  Like a good duck, quail should not be over-cooked.  However, we were not expecting quail sashimi!  Our grilled quail was a single split bird served on an overly sweet lemon sauce.  Very rare next to the bone.  \n\nFoie gras:  Californians here having withdrawal, so had to order this.  The quarter inch thick slice was tasteless and over-cooked.   It came garnished with three clumps of red radish salad.  Ho-hum.\n\nPate:  The only item that we seemed to get right.  A generous serving of rustic pork pate.  Excellent with the wine.  Could have used more bread...actually, we saw other tables getting baskets of bread, but perhaps because we didn't order an entr\u00e9e, it was not to be.\n\nService was mediocre.   We know it's Vegas, but for the prices charged, we expected much more.  Have never given such a low mark to a Vegas celebrity chef establishment, but the Nobhill Tavern just didn't make the grade.  We cannot recommend this place.
