| - This place was on my husband's Vegas bucket list. As locals, there are places you want to try or things you want to do, but regular life gets in the way.
So, for his 40th birthday, I decided to treat him to this experience on Friday night.
The decor (which I never comment on) was amazing. While we were eating our dessert and chillin' a bit, we really had a chance to look around and the place is just so interesting and beautiful to look at.
We started our meals with beer (him) and a mojito for me. The Marrehech mojito is no joke, by the way. I probably should not have had the second one, but it was so tasty.
The prefix menu is a crazy amount of food. A couple of recommendations. First, eat a baby size lunch that day before going in. When you get the first course of shrimp scampi, despite the deliciousness of the homemade bread, stop yourself from completely gobbling it all down. You have a long way to go and if you go too hard at the beginning courses, the main course will arrive and you will have no room!
The shrimp was perfectly cooked. Well seasoned and a good texture. The second course of the veggies with the hummus was good. The hummus was the best part. The soup had a nice kick to it, but I am not a huge fan of rice in my soup, so I just didn't eat the rice.
The steak was amazing. But all of this left me to look at the chicken and couscous with sadness. I knew that if I had a bite of the chicken that the dessert would be unattainable. Therefore, I determined that the chicken and couscous would have to come home with me (which made an amazing breakfast). The dessert was this interesting pastry with bananas and hazelnut inside with cinnamon on top. It was seriously good, but the jasmine mint tea was the finishing touch to the meal. I stole the hubby's and finished his off, too.
The belly dancers were talented. I got a cute pic of the hubby with the dancer.
Thanks for a great night! We would love to return with friends.
