A Michael Mina joint on the promenade level of the Aria.  Open kitchen with a very nice ambiance and great bar.  Some pre dinner drinks with a generous pour by the staff we sat at a round table for 8 which really makes all the difference when you have a large group.  The ability to see each other and talk to everyone might make round table dining paramount going forward. \n\nThe never ending push for bottled / sparkling or not is getting old probably because I eat out so much.  Sommelier excellent again handling our wine requests and questions, though there were a couple of bottles of value on the menu the rest of the menu was entirely and utterly overpriced.  Regardless couple were ordered and it was on the menu.\n\nNo Starters tonight just entrees as some of our crew was time restrained and we had a quick in and out burger run on the way home from Shadow creek.  \nSALT-BAKED DRY AGED PRIME RIB Pinot Noir Reduction, Horseradish Cr\u00e8me Fra\u00eeche For Two $170  Well we had two of these for four persons with six side dishes included.  First off the presentation was outstanding table side where the knock the sea salt crust off then take it in the back to have it carved. Unfortunately that is where the accolades stop.  Have no clue what this was but it tasted like no Prime Rib I've ever eaten more like a Rib Eye steak that was baked. We ordered them medium and they came out completely and utterly well done.   \n\nThe side dishes were equally lacking: (2) horseradish whipped potatoes runny, (2) Truffle Mac and cheese runny, brocolini was ok and so was the creamed corn but unlike many places these sides were not splitable they were very small portions. \n\n\nCORNMEAL-CRUSTED RAINBOW TROUT Idaho 33 Fairly bland and nothing special.\n\nS Q U I D  I N K  R I S O T T O , S A F F R O N  S A U C E , R E D  W I N E  A R T I C H O K E S ,  A R U G U L A,  WILD STURGEON Oregon 36  One of two best things on the table.\n\n\n\nS Q U I D  I N K  R I S O T T O , S A F F R O N  S A U C E , R E D  W I N E  A R T I C H O K E S ,  A R U G U L A  BRANZINO  Mediterranean 46   Again a very nice presentation \n\nBoth the last two fishes were very good, but small portions on the fish side.\n\nNo coffee or deserts were tried.\n\nBottom line there are some bad reviews here and it is worth listening in the future as they are not kidding.  A epic failure in my opinion.  Ambiance was great but at these prices they need to do something fast.
