The Mint always gets a bad rap, and it sounds like niblosis had a pretty horrible experience, but the one time I went I thought it was fantastic. i took my parents out a month or so ago for the $18 three course lunch - the food was amazing and worth every penny. The mac and cheese was the best I’ve ever had (even though I could feel my arteries clogging), and the scallops were perfectly cooked and meaty. Really high quality ingredients here. Some of the desserts are baked to order (lava cake) and they were all delicious. Only flaw was I thought the fries with the tuna burger were a bit on the soggy side. But the service was great and friendly and I loved the atmosphere. Then again, this might change during dinner hours, who knows. Not the type of place you can go to often, but for a special occasion-type place you can’t really do better.
