| - Sensi goes in my gourmet 5 star list, fo' sho'
The night started out all wrong... We were staying on East Harmond near the newly remodeled Planet Hollywood. The plan was to drive to the Mirage, grab a parking spot and go see a show there, and then drive to the Bellagio for dinner. We had reservations at 9:30 PM. No problemo, right?
Well, driving in Las Vegas is hella stressful, and even more stressful for my stepfather, who drives rather seldom.... Basically this whole drive (or ride, in my case) was somewhat akin to playing Russian roulette with a dirty ol' Russian gun that misfires one out of every three shots. Best bet, you may not permanently blow your head off but you'll blow a hole through your head large enough that you'lll retain more than a slight speech impediment.... Yeah, just lovely....
Anyway, so we eventually made it to Sensi at 9:40, some 10 minutes after our reservations. They couldn't seat us then & there, but they said it'd be about 20-30 minutes..... Fine, I thought, I'll order a stiff martini to calm the nerves after this brutal drive we just had... and we'll eventually be seated. The bartender was slow and full of attitude, preferring to stare at the cute playboy bunnies who were looking at him lovingly instead of making my fucking martini. Can't say I blame him, other than the fact that I wanted some liquid medicine... AND FAST!!!
We were eventually seated some 30 minutes later... We ordered 3 oyster shooters for appetizer and, as main course: 1 Roasted Salmon, 1 New York Steak, 1 Day Boat Scallop, and 1 Lamb Chop... We ordered 2 side dishes alongside that: mashed potatoes and deep fried asparagus.
As far as drinking was concerned, I wanted to order a nice bottle without freaking everybody out, so I ordered wine # 14437, which, as it turns out, was the Brunello Altesino and it was ripe to perfection... An absolutely perfect wine pairing.
Food was way good, portions were generous, and the wine definitely complemented the food very well. I ate the lamb chop and really enjoyed it. The meat was so tender and fell right off the bone. I tasted my wife's scallops and man-oh-man were they awesome too! Served with a puree of English peas, it was a delightful dish. My stepfather seemed to enjoy his steak, and my mother definitely enjoyed her salmon.
Service was wonderful... Shortly after we started our dinner, the sommelier came to let us know we had ordered the last bottle of 14437 but made several other recommendations. Frankly, we had no intent to dig into another bottle, seeing as the first one was already $121, but still, it was very professional of him to come and let us know. Our waitress was fabulous...
Decor, very modern and trendy and, thankfully, not too loud. All in all a wonderful dining experience and Sensi goes into my top 20 in America fo' sho'
