| - Came here based on a friend's recommendation, who's previous tastes have not let us down. The ambiance is very nice with a nice view of the Wynn and part of the strip.
What we ordered:
Caprese salad: The mozarella was decent, but nothing spectacular. The tomatoes were average, I'm surprised they didn't try using heirlooms here. The balsamic vinegar was the highlight of the dish and made an otherwise average dish a little better.
Kona crusted filet mignon: Boyfriend ordered this. It wasn't bad, I've had better. The Kona crust gave a different flavor to the steak, but the filet was a little on the dry side.
Porcini rubbed delmonico: At first, it was over-cooked. Ordered medium-rare / medium and it came out more towards medium / medium-well. I cut it next to the bone and it was just pink. I really hate to send food back, for the price I was paying, I was not too happy. The second steak was cooked to perfection. Very good marbling. The rub added a nice touch to an otherwise tasty steak.
Roasted Seasonal Mushrooms: A mix of mushrooms sauteed with butter. Good mushrooms, nothing spectacular, nothing to complain about.
Cheesecake: Not your ordinary cheesecake. First of all, it is round. It is not as dense as your typical cheesecake, which is a good thing to me. There is a creme brulee-like crust over the top. Save room for this.
Overall, dinner for two ended up costing us over $100, and it came out to about $250 with alcohol. The service was good, I would probably have given them a 4 if the steak was prepared to my liking the first time around. If you are a salt and pepper steak fan like I am, I would look somewhere else. But if you want to try something with flavors you can't find anywhere else, this is worth a shot.
