| - First of all, reservations are very hard to come by here, so plan ahead. I heard they're pretty booked through June. There are random times that are available and you may get lucky checking day of for a spot that opened up. They also have seating at the bar which was completely full when we arrived at 5:30, but we found a couple of spots when we came back later for drinks at 9:30.
We were fortunate to get a reservation at 5:30 on Sunday, but did have a little trouble finding the way to the entrance. We had our Uber driver drop us off at Caesars and then we cut across the circle driveway towards Hells kitchen, but didn't see a pathway. There is a pathway to the left of the fountains or you can walk along the outside of Caesars heading south and walking past Absinthe to get in the front door. That seems to be the most direct route. Just don't try a short cut like we did!
We were seated right away and given the choice of two tables. There are some tables with strip or fountain views, so you may want to request to reserve those. The space is open and modern. We had a tabletop right by a pillar and there was. I other table right next to us, so it felt a little private.
Dana was our server and she was excellent. She went over the menu with us and made recommendations and suggested alternatives when needed (the Wellington sounded great, but I don't like my meat rare). I could see her working a lot of tables, but she was on top of the service and friendly.
We started with cocktails: Smoke on the Boulevard (such a cool presentation...everyone around us was checking it out) and Notes from Gordon and enjoyed both.
For appetizers, we did the smoked beets (unique presentation) and lobster risotto. Our entrees were the Beef Wellington and Short Rib. We ordered a side of Mac and Cheese, but the entrees came with small sides and we ended up stuffed. All of the food was so delicious! I honestly didn't think we'd be able to eat one more bite, but Dana told us we couldn't miss the sticky toffee pudding and there's always room for dessert. She was right! Don't skip that!
We had to leave by 7:15 for a show, but we enjoyed our experience so much that we came back for another drink at the bar after the show. Another Smoked Boulevard and Chef's Stew which caught my attention when I saw it earlier. Love a cool presentation!
This place was worth the hype for us.
