| - Wow. High five to Wolfgang Puck for an exceptional dining experience - delicious food with professional & attentive service. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/J4CATH00YZrq8Bne2S4_cw?select=G2-vNaQFSCP9bN7z-xJVUQ
While waiting, we enjoyed various samples of bread - my favorite was the Bavarian pretzel. Slightly salty, sweet, and an incredibly soft texture - divine.
Prior to ordering, I loved that the waiter rolled out several variations of the raw cut beef to demonstrate the difference in Kobe Wagyu & American style Wagyu (mixed with Angus to give it a meatier texture).
My entree was the Petit Filet Mignon (USDA Illinois) served with the Argentinian chimichirri sauce, a light and springy taste with shallots, garlic, and cilantro. Perfectly cooked at medium and absolutely delicious. Refrain from biting the screen: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/J4CATH00YZrq8Bne2S4_cw?select=YXCIjyzzVH7Cb9vr-cifGg
The fiance also loved his American wagyu rib-eye with kosho butter sauce. While part of the meat was slightly tough, the thicker end of the rib-eye melted in my mouth. It's not necessary to order an additional sauce with your meat, since they also bring out three condiments for you to use anyhow.
I do recommend sharing the sides family style with a group - at about $12/side, you get a significant amount of delicious fare. Our group of four split three sides: the delicious creamy Mac & Cheese with Quebec cheddar, the sauteed wild field mushrooms, and the butternut squash. All were incredibly savory! The best and most amusing part of the dinner was that we had three waiters (one per side dish) hovering next to us individually to explain what the dish was and proceeded to scoop it onto our plate before shuffling to the next person - it felt like culinary musical chairs. If fighting over equal portions of a dish is an issue, this eliminates that problem...
Ambiance is very modern and sleek. It is pretty dim, but it wasn't too bothersome for us. Similar to the sauce, ordering dessert isn't necessary since they brought out a plate with decadent filled chocolates. An exquisite way to end a satisfying and indulgent meal.
