| - I'm not going to lie..part of the reason we booked Skylofts was the fact that you can be invited to dine here...yes it's that special :) The Mansion is located behind a discreet wrought iron gate at the MGM. Usually you have to be a mega baller and be invited to stay here...I think the villas here are 10k a night. However, if you are a Skyloft guest your butler can get you in!
Ambiance: The pics don't do it justice, the patio area is just divine! You are sitting in a glass enclosed atrium with the mansion rising up behind you. There's the scent of lemon in the air, and the sounds of a nearby fountain. 5 stars
Food: 5 stars (ok, before you read this, know that all the dishes listed below are around $25...and yes it's dim sum, but it's decadent dim sum ok? lol)
-beef noodle soup: This was recommended by our server, and at first I was a bit leery seeing that beef noodle soup is usually not $26 but we decided to go with it. It. was. AMAZING! The broth was delicious and so flavorful, but it didn't have the usual globs of oil floating in it which is standard with most beef noodle soups. The noodles delish and the chunks of beef so tender.
-shark fin and spinach dumplings (3 pc, around $20-$25)- It's good if you like shark fin
-foie gras and lobster dumplings (3 pc, around $20-$25)- highly recommend this!
-bbq buns- (3 pc, around $20-$25)- SKIP
-shumai- (3 pc, around $20-$25) it's pretty good but not worth the $$
-lotus wraps- very yummy!
Service: Our waiter was very friendly and always on hand, he also walked us around and took pictures for us! Your butler walks you from the Skylofts into the Mansion which was a nice touch :)
I want to come back soon!
