Nobhill - MGM Grand

I never thought we could get comped food here, but our host gave us RFB. Inside, the decor, service, and food, everything was excellent. Our table was so private, our seat was like a sofa. It was so comfortable. So far, all the Michael Mina restaurants we've tried were just great.We ordered Nobhill's signature dishes, "lobster pot pie" and "cioppino". New style of pot pie and cioppino, like I've never seen before. It was very interesting. All I can say is EVERYTHING we ate here was DELICIOUS! Since we have more offers from MGM for RFB, I'll be sure that we'll be back.

They also have a tasting menu, which costs between $50 - $100 per person.
Our food was total $208 + $16 tax + tip.

Waiter preparing lobster pot pie. He nicely accepted when we asked him if we can take pictures of it. He cut off the top crust and put it on a plate, then scooped out seafood and vegetables onto the crust.

Two-pound Maine lobster, fingering potatoes, brandy cream













Cable Car Creme Brulee, $10.
I actually wanted to eat banana tarte tatin or souffle, but I had banana cream pie the same day for lunch, and I had souffle the day before, so I got creme brulee. But next time, I'm gonna get tarte tatin and souffle for sure (if it's still on the menu).

  4. We usually don't order drinks so I don't know the prices. What I know is each bottled water usually costs around $8.
