| - The best meal of my life. The service alone is 5-stars. I was here on a weekend with reservations at 5:30pm to get the pre-theater menu. Upon seated by a window with a view of the Bellagio pool, our server laid napkins on our laps and explained to us the menu options. We spent a bit of time looking through the wine list and the menu options. We both decided on the pre-theater menu $59/person for appetizer, entree and dessert.
We ordered: Potato & Root Vegetable Chowder, Brioche-Crusted Florida Pompano (white fish similar to halibut), and the Maine Lobster Pot Pie, Michael's Root Beer Float served with warm chocolate chip nut cookies, and the seasonal fruit tart (fig over a hazelnut streusel with spiced ice cream). We had wine pairing with one of the meals.
A man was walking around with a bread basket full of different choices of bread - the honey wheat and the sourdough was amazing. It came hot and toasty with just enough to dip into the chowder. The chowder was amazing - not too heavy even though it's a creamy soup. The chunks of potato combined with the smoked ham gave this soup a great texture and flavor.
The main course was even better than expected. I had the Maine Lobster Pot Pie which came out in the pot it was baked. The server took the crust off the top and laid on the plate followed by re-assembling the pieces of the lobster in order. It's a full lobster. The color of the shell is a beautiful deep orangey-red color. You have the option of having it served without the shell. Then the server spoons out the veggies and mushrooms and drenches the whole plate in a fragrant sauce. My hubby had the pompano which was a tender fish over a bed of cauliflower which was less extravagant then my dish so I shared mine. I love lobster but couldn't finish my entree due to the amount of lobster and the richnes of the sauce.
Dessert was good - I liked the balance of flavors from the citrus salt and the sweetness of the fig. The ice cream cleansed the palette and was refreshing. The root beer float was also good and had just enough sweetness. I couldn't finish the cookies or the small plate of chef's miniature desserts (coconut macaroons, chocolate cookies, one other type of cookie). We had to pack it up to go.
Overall, I like the atmosphere with very attentive wait staff. One waiter kept bringing me iced tea every time I was low. They were generous with the wine. They did everything for us - except eat the meal. The table settings elegant, the lighting dim & romantic, and peaceful.
