| - Not sure why the Sterling Brunch didn't get a whole new page once they changed over from Bally's Steakhouse to BLT as previous ratings are now irrelevant with an entirely new restaurant doing Vegas' best Brunch...but in comparing the old to the new, here's what I noticed:
LOBSTER: Bigger and more tender here than before. Had some rubbery tails in the past, especially towards the end of the Bally's Steakhouse reign.
KING CRAB: Same, great quality as before
FILET MIGNON: Better at the old Bally's...now they have individual filet trays rather than slicing it off a larger cut of meat to your color preference. If you want rare or medium rare, you are out of luck, everything I tried was medium well. The herb butter on top was nice though.
RACK OF LAMB: Thick and meaty as they were before, excellent quality but lacked a little seasoning...had to make use of the green jelly and German mustard.
SERVICE: Waiters were excellent as always, glasses of champagne never half full. However, this one lady behind the buffet was putting this bread pudding french toast from one pan into another with both pans out next to each other and I asked her which pan had the freshly made ones as I wanted to grab one...and she looked at me blankly without an answer...so I asked again, "Which ones were the ones made 45 minutes ago and which ones were the ones made 5 minutes ago as I'd want a fresh one"...again she looked at me like I had horns and gave me a weird look. She wasn't a foreigner who couldn't speak English and I'm paying $235 for 2 people to eat breakfast, she just wanted to act miserable. Ok, thanks.
LOBSTER BISQUE: Wasn't anywhere to be found...noooo! I like my lobster bisque. Actually no soup to be found anywhere.
POPOVERS: Awesome, made absolutely perfect. A new addition...watch you don't fill up.
SUSHI: They used to have cuts of sashimi without having to take any rice, now it's nigiri on rice...I can have that anywhere for 1/5 the cost...avoided it. The free sake was nice though, wasn't too strong and had a nice flavor.
DESSERTS: They looked great in color, but they just didn't taste great...I was actually shocked that the apricot panna cotta had a NON-DAIRY whipped topping on top...that's a low grade stations buffet move. In the past they had the best home made vanilla bean ice cream I ever had in my life and I used to put it on top of freshly made crepes. Now it's just pink cake pops and blue macaroons trying to look lovely. I would put the dessert section of 10 other buffets well ahead of this one with Bachannal leading the pack. A bit of a bummer at $95 a person plus tax and tip to be disappointed at the finish line. Now I know to have more lobster.
In conclusion, you're eating rack of lamb, filet mignon, king crab and lobster, all done pretty well. Throw in unlimited Perrier-Jouet and unlimited top shelf cocktails and this one is still the one to beat. Fix that dessert situation and serve your french toast with a smile for a 5 star bump.
