| - Being a huge fan of Craftsteak at the MGM for many years, I was looking forward to trying Heritage Steak at Mirage. It made total sense as we were going to see Cirque's Beatle show "Love" (BTW don't waste your money - we walked out).
The service was great, but let's talk about the food.
My wife ordered the pork belly. She liked it, but the forkful I tried was dry and tasteless, however, the fried oysters served on the plate was excellent.
I ordered the onion soup... not your usual one from the 60's. This soup was made from char roasted onions, roasted garlic and escargot. Very good for a change, but I doubt I would order it again.
We split the Tabasco Kobe skirt steak. We ordered it medium. 1/3 of it was medium 2/3 well done. It was also over rubbed so that the Tabasco overpowered the flavor of the steak. Don't get me wrong, I love hot food, but this had me sweating. This would have been great on a taco... but that would be a sin.
The side of asparagus was tasteless and so woody, that it was inedible.
The bit of fingerling potatoes on the steak plate were cooked perfectly, but too greasy to eat.
Maybe we just ordered the wrong dishes, as we saw some great looking onion rings and other dishes going to other tables.
The bottom line is that I am at Mirage and hungry, I would go back to their large bar which has sports going on their TV's and order some appetizers, but this will not be a repeat destination... I'll head to Craftsteak!
