As write this review of DJT - I asked myself - "What would the Donald say about my experience?" would he Love it? or would he say "You're FIRED!" I'm afraid to say that the latter might just be his response...
Note - I was here for business and experienced both Dinner & Lunch....
Before I dive into the not so great - let's chat about what was right:
The ambiance, decor and service was supreme. In fact, the waiter actually comped us our dessert b/c our entrees weren't up to par (which was a good sign) The wine selection was also pretty good... The one saving grace was the DJT burger at lunch - a total heartattack - but absolutely wonderful - (think 2 grilled cheeses as the bun for your burger w/criss cut fries as a side - oh so freaking good! - the Donald would definitely approve!) The Trump Hotel is spectacular in itself - it's so luxurious and five star that i'm so surprised the food was sub-par.
Now onto NOT making the cut.... -- Dinner was odd. I'm unsure what to make of DJT's whole menu as it appears to have quite an asian flare. The eggs rolls, tempura shrimp & apps were fine - nothing too special - which is my theme for this review. The watermelon & caprese salad just just OK as well. the biggest downer was our entrees- As for most of the group - our food was overdone. The halibut with curry sauce was tough - and the Duck Confit (which btw is apparently DJT's favorite thing to order according to our waiter) was also very dry -- what killed me was the mozarella eggroll that was paired with my duck - wtf? it was odd.. very very odd. The steak was apparently OK but nothing really special. The dessert might have saved the evening. The free panna cotta w/fresh berries was very good but the chocolate dessert option was also a little dry. Bottom line - nothing was spectacular - at least not what the Donald would love anyway... It's hotel food at its best. It'll do if you are staying at the hotel - but it might best to take one of the free shuttles to the Wynn or Caesars for a real meal...
