| - I LOVE random trips to Las Vegas and this is probably my 3rd one???
Anyways....came here with a friend for a late lunch since we were out the entire night before. We walked from the Monte Carlo to Paris and I have to state that it was one of the best walks ever. :) I haven't really cavorted the strip like that and I felt I was young again...what am I saying, I'm not even that old!
We were seated within 3-5 minutes of getting into the restaurant. Everyone has to wait in the bar area for a table. Finally, our host took us to our table outdoors. The view is spectacular. Just as we sat down, the fountain show at the Bellagio commenced. It would've been the most ideal late lunch ever, but it ended up raining and we has to take a booth inside. boo hiss argh.
The booths are comfy and it's dim inside, which makes the setting very romantic. there's the more lit area where I'd hang with my friends, then the outdoor patio if I wanted some air.
I ordered the brie, green apple and chicken sandwich which was not what i expected. I consider myself a huge BRIE and APPLE fanatic...but this one was bland...barely any chicken in my sandwich and it was dry! The soup du jour, which was a cream mash potato mussel soup was DELICIOUS! I almost ate it all with the baguette they give you. The baguette was a little burnt at the bottom, but did not taste bad. I also ordered a bloody mary with extra horseradish...it was ok. Best bloody mary I have had was at Bear Mountains hands down, but I'll try anything once.
My friend ordered the croque monsieur but instead they gave him a croque madame, which we didn't realize until the bill came out. At that moment he exclaimed why his meal didn't look right. It was missing the creamy sauce on top.
All in all, I mayyy come back here to try their make your own bloody marys. As for the food, I was not impressed. We will see how the make your own bloody marys fare in Feb 2011!
