I was actually not expecting too much when I originally came here for Xmas dinner 2012, but to my surprise, the food and evening was actually splendid. Service was nice and on point, not intrusive, etc. \n\nThe evening started with the caviar parfait which was a very nice way to get the palate going. Following that, the tuna tartare was decent but not spectacular. The lobster pot pie and the main courses, filo crusted cod and duck, had a fantastic blends of flavor and textures. I'm not sure what Mina was thinking with the foie gras rice side dish though. To me, the black rice used pretty much destroys the flavor of the foie mousse that is stirred in. I was actually hoping for more of a foie risotto like thing when I saw this dish on the menu.\n\nDessert of Root Beer float is classic Mina, so that was enjoyable. I have to say the pumpkin tart left a bit to be desired.
