| - I thought this place would be more highly rated, but I guess when you're a fancy-four-star (or however many stars?) restaurant in Vegas... you're still really just one out of many many others. I can see why people would expect a lot, since the competition is tough as sh*t. But putting other restaurants aside, I did enjoy my meal here. The food and service were great, and the place was very very pretty :)
I came here with my bf's family (+ a friend) for my bf's brother's birthday. The good thing about going with his family is - they don't seem to have a budget for food (or anything, really). Big, wealthy gamblers.. lol yup.
Anyway, they ordered two chilled seafood platters, a couple small plates of foie gras, a dozen kumamoto oysters on the half shell, and one fried calamari dish for appetizers. This was appetizers for 6 people lol... a bit much, but I wasn't complaining.
The seafood platter came with cocktail shrimps, king crab legs, lobsters, ceviche, and oysters. The oysters (both from the platter and the kumamoto) were as fresh as it gets, and comes with the usual tabasco, cocktail sauce, etc. BOMB. I love raw oysters. The cocktail shrimps were huge and crisp, and although it was probably as good as cocktail shrimps get - they were outshined by the lobster and king crab legs. Lol, but of course. Everything on the platter was great though - fresh and flavorful.
I ordered the rib eye cos I was feelin meaty, and it was YUM. It came with a chimichurri sauce that was a bit spicy and it paired well together. It had this delicious peppery char on it, mmmmmm.. I only ate like 15% of it though... the appetizers filled me up good :( My bf ordred the rib eye as well, and added a bacon and blue cheese crust. It was GOOOOOD. We also had sides of mashed potatoes, lobster mac and cheese, and asparagus. Mac and cheese was just ok, but I didn't try the other sides.
The birthday boy ordered a 5 pound lobster because why not........................ which totaled to $575........ which puts it at $115 per pound. WTF. LOL. I mean, it was shocking.... but I suppose not that surprising...... haha. I did get to try it, and it was amazing. Succulent, fresh lobster meat, and I LOVED the green dipping sauce. Maybe like a basil-y butter sauce? SOO delicious.
So like I said, I enjoyed my experience here. Oh and the show at the lakeside... lol, they were weird I guess. Very whimsical but also kind of random... floating, colorful balls and singing frogs among other things. LOL but I don't really care about that stuff. The meal was wonderful :)
