| - In my 8 years living in Las Vegas, I never had a chance to try Spago. I view it as a bit out of price range, so when their 20 Year Anniversary came up with roll-back pricing, I had to try it. Went last night with my date, and we asked the assistant GM Drew to pick our food. Here's what he picked, and my thoughts on each:
Signature Roasted Beet Goat Cheese Salad
I never would have ordered this but it was delicious.
House Smoked Sturgeon, Crisp Potato Galette, Horseradish Cream - $12
It was like a spicy latke with fish on top. Really good.
"Chinois Style" Colorado Lamb Chops, Cilantro Mint Vinaigrette, Sweet & Sour Eggplant - $33
Tender and delicious even without the sauce. Eggplant was so good my date and I couldn't figure out if it was eggplant!
Cantonese Style Roasted Duck with Wild Huckleberries, Ginger and Stir-Fried Baby Bok Choy - $20
Huge and delicious, and unexpected as we thought we were only getting 1 main course to share. Needless to say we had plenty of leftovers.
Even with the discount I spent a bit more than I had hoped, but everything was delicious and the service was great, as well. Oh, and they have an amazing bread platter. Wish I was hungrier and got to try more of that!
Thanks, Drew W & Scott G!
