One of the best meals of my life.
Located in the MGM Grand, this is an incredible place but certainly not cheap. If you think paying $50 for a piece of meat is insane, this is not the place for you.
First they bring out some bread that was made in heaven. When just the bread made me weep tears of joy, I knew I was in for a great culinary experience. For starters I got a persian cucumber salad and my friend got the lobster bisque. Fresh. Incredible. Then we both got the filet mignon, cooked exactly as ordered and melted in my mouth. Also got deep friend zucchini blossoms which were like no zucchini I've ever had before. Music in my mouth. Lastly I chose pink lemon sorbet for dessert and it was tart and refreshing perfection.
They have a HUGE wine selection here and I had a sonoma syrah while my friend had a couple of apple martinis.
Our service was impeccable.
I really don't have the superlatives to describe what an all-around perfect experience I had here. I am a bit frugal but here I had no qualms about spending every penny I paid.
As an aside, there was an actual made-for-tv moment when someone tried to swallow too much meat and the heimlich had to be performed. The staff handled this quickly and effectively without much drama. Kudos to them for saving this man and doing so in a manner that was surprisingly of minimal disturbance to the customers dining there.
