| - Utterly delicious! I mean it. This is the other restaurant that I've been lucky enough to go to during Restaurant Week, and again, I have not been disappointed. I'll admit, though, during any other circumstances, I may not have been coerced into trying this place out--prices mainly.
We had a group of 6, and they were quite accommodating. I had also made a separate reservation for another group through Open Table, and changed it according, through the hostess. They were pretty helpful in trying to get our tables together, though, which I appreciated.
Being as it was during the week, I'm pretty sure that our reservations were unnecessary (since we walked right in and there was no wait), but I can definitely see how this place would have lots of traffic and why people would need to be prepared to wait.
I must say, I thorougly enjoyed my dining experience due to a number of factors: ease of finding the restaurant (make sure to park in the West Tower/Area vs. East to avoid a long walk), accessibility was close to the Strip (a bonus for some of our friends that wanted to walk around after the large meal), and the excellent service (seemed like the wait staff was coming around quite regularly to either ask us if we had any requests or to to give us refills...no, not in a way that got annoying, but definitely enough times to know that they were present).
Since it's Restaurant Week, we definitely went with this menu. The choices were a Caesar or Wedge salad with bits of tomato, bacon, and cheese, in addition to the dressing for the first course. The second course options were Prime Rib with mashed potatoes or Salmon with bacon, green beans and potatoes. Finally, the third course was Chocolate Cake or Banana Cream Pie. Basically, our group had a combination of the salads, prime rib, and a combination of the chocolate cake and banana cream pie. I thought it was actually pretty funny that nobody got the salmon. Haha.
We also had bread and butter for the starter, although nobody was really impressed with this dish. My boyfriend did, however, order the truffle tots, which were gobbled up in seconds. The tenderness and crisp tots were actually pretty tasty, without feeling that "I just bit into a lot of grease and need to spit all of this out," but more like "Just one more" repeated again and again.
The salads were, well, salads.
As for the prime rib, JUICY JUICY AND JUICY! I could get enough of it. If I would've had to have given up any of the other options in lieu of another piece of prime rib, I would've done it in a heartbeat. I feel like you couldn't go wrong with the prime rib, and I was unwilling to be the lone soul to order the salmon, instead.
With the desserts, it seemed like people were split on this. If you like a moist, filling chocolate cake, look no more. That's what they had here. If you expect anything else out of a chocolate cake, you're probably not gonna like the dessert here. Did I mention that the piece of cake was pretty much close to 5 inches tall? Amazing! I heard that the Banana Cream Pie was pretty good, but I'm more of a chocolate person, personally.
Can't wait to come back for more Prime Rib!
