EDITOR'S NOTE: MARC ST. JACQUES IS NOW THE EXECUTIVE CHEF OF MICHAEL MINA. ANTHONY AMOROSO IS NOW AT SEABLUE, BORGATA IN ATLANTIC CITY.
Michael Mina's concepts are famously intricate, and Executive Chef Anthony Amoroso has proven himself up to the challenge of building an equally intricate menu. He not only contributes to that menu's creation, by the way, but also produces its dishes flawlessly. The best way to sample Chef Amoroso's menu, while trying as many preparations as you can, is to order the trios. Each trio features samplings of three flawlessly prepared dishes. If you're not in an experimental mood, though, you can try the Classics, which offer a slightly larger portion, but without the variety. Another nice touch: If you're ordering wine by the glass, your server will present the bottle and pour it in front of you. Plus, according to Chef Amoroso - whose bio you can read here, along with an exclusive interview, which you can read here-Michael Mina is often in the kitchen. He's made it no secret that he's still excited by working as a chef. By the way, if you're up for a decadent night, this is one restaurant in Las Vegas where you can find one, as Michael Mina at the Bellagio has a caviar cart that provides service right at the table, a unique feature; if you've hit it big, you might want to splurge and spoil yourself.
