| - I can absolutely recommend this restaurant for any foodie, couple or group.
I took four people there with the offer from travelzoo. Would have done it without, but the offer made it even better.
A little advice: Explore the wine list. We started with a California brut champagne. We then had the Cherry Tart Pinot with our main course. We spent a lot of time with the sommelier and he was more than accommodating. After dinner two of us had a flight of cognac, along with a nice port. All the wine worked perfectly with the food.
For the first course we had the salad, carpaccio, onion soup and the lobster bisque. All were excellent. We returned the salad, needing to have a second salad with dressing on the side, a request the staff honored quickly. I added a second course of the seared foie gras since good food is illegal in my home state of California. The treatment was distinct and excellent. Cooked perfectly.
For the main courses, we had the halibut, the flat iron steak and the duck. Each was cooked perfectly. I asked for medium rare on the steak, it was perfectly and precisely cooked. We all had soufflé for dessert.
The presentation for each was very good, the service was top flight and the experience was absolutely as expected.
As others have said, once you are inside the restaurant you will have no idea you are inside a casino. Also, a prior post expressed regret over the perceived dissimilar treatment received as a result of using the TravelZoo offer. We looked for any sign of this and saw nothing. We were served and treated as well, perhaps even better than others. One member of our group has some significant food allergies and our waiter worked through the entire list. He made sure there was no shellfish in the sauce, brought her gluten free bread and made a gluten free soufflé for her.
In all it was an exceptional experience and we would certainly eat here again.
