| - My boyfriend and I dined in the downstairs dining room on Saturday, May 18th 2013; we had reservations via Open Table and as soon as we arrived we were seated immediately by the smiling hostess.
It took a little bit of time for the server, Clifton, to greet us (and they weren't particularly busy) however he was pleasant. I ordered a bottle of the Two Hands Moscato ($54) which was recommended to me by Clifton and it was so delightfully good! I was a smidge disappointed that it didn't come out as cold as I would've liked, it could have been chilled down another 10*, but I still drank the whole dang bottle by myself, ssssssh ;) And he put it on ice for me so the next glass was even better. The busser brought out a complimentary bread basket which consisted of corn bread muffins and cheddar biscuits (very similar to Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay biscuits) plus whipped butter, all of which were tasty.
We started with the Clam Chowder soup. It was warm and full of flavor & veggies. There was a strong beer/hops undertone that I didn't particularly care for but my boyfriend loved it...especially all those little oyster crackers he threw on top! Personally, for $15 I would pass it up the next time we're there.
We then ordered our entrees: Surf and Turf for me (9oz prime filet mignon in a red wine jus and a 1/2 lobster w/clarified butter) which was garnished with micro-greens. The menu online stated that the entree came with mashed potatoes but for some reason my entree never came out with any. You'd think for $89.00 I would get some type of side. The filet came out horribly black and charred which I made them take back. Besides that, my new steak melted in my mouth like butter, the lobster was ridiculously delicious and the red wine jus was a perfect complement to the steak. In addition we ordered Old Bay fries w/remoulade ($7), which were like shoestring fries, as well as the mac 'n cheese for two ($14). The mac 'n cheese was in a white cheddar cream base and it was to die for. My boyfriend ordered the King Salmon ($34) which was about 8oz in size and it was garnished in different citrus elements which he said was a wonderful flavor compliment to the fish.
After all of that we ordered dessert: the dessert sampler platter for him ($18) which included White Chocolate Bread Pudding w/a blueberry compote and blueberry buttermilk ice cream, an Irish Chocolate Tart with Guinness gingerbread ice cream, the Fat Elvis w/passion fruit caramel sauce and their Key Lime Pie w/cilantro syrup. My boyfriend raved about all of them. I ordered the 16 piece ice cream and sorbet sampler ($18) and was less than impressed. The chocolate ice cream was bitter however I did enjoy the salted caramel ice cream.
My suggestion: beware of the menu posted on the Mandalay Bay website as it's severely out of date, including what's featured on the menu and the prices. They have all gone up!
