| - Beautifully decorated restaurant that serves mediocre food at expensive prices.
Ahhh yes, I know your kind!
This was our cheaper dinner. Wait until my next review to see where we REALLY splurged because this is so not the place to do it.
We had a Friday night restaurant, sitting by the window, facing Encore Beach Club's European pool (nope, didn't see any boobies). The menu focuses on steaks and seafood. We were going to get the shellfish tower $65.00 but when our server said it was simply 2 of each (oysters, clams, lobster tails, etc), we passed, thinking it was too much food along with the appetizers we were going to get. Sooo not worth the price either.
Instead we ordered frog legs, hamachi tartare and crab agnolotti for our appetizers and steak tartare and dayboat scallops for our entrees. We also ordered a half bottle of sancerre to start.
While we waited, servers came by and placed cocktail and tartar sauce on our table. I thought, wait, did we ordered the shellfish tower? And then I saw it coming to our table: that damn shellfish tower!
There seemed to be some miscommunication but after they took the tower away, I thought, wait. He thought we ordered 3 appetizers and a shellfish tower. He should have spoke up and mentioned it might have been a bit too much food. Mistake #1.
Our appetizers came out and all were good but nothing great.
- Frog legs: I didn't really like the frog legs and not because they were frog legs but because it just had no flavor. Came with a bubbly buttery garlic sauce but I passed. BF ended up adding salt to this dish. The side salad was good though.
- Hamachi Tartare: Good but overrated. NOT your typical tartare. They placed them on top of crispy (stale tasting) rice. Why?! It was too sweet for my taste too.
- Crab Agnolotti: Very, very, very good. Creamy and plenty of crab! Yummy artichokes too :)
- Scallops: 4 big scallops with a sweet sauce. Not something my bf anticipated and he got sick of this dish quick. I would say it was not something we would order again. BF ended up adding salt to this dish.
- Steak tartare: I was going to get this as an appetizer but none of the entrees impressed me so I got this. Pretty good. Not the tastiest I've ever had. Egg yolk (quail) was small. Needed some dijon mustard on the side and maybe some more salt. Actually, my bf finished this dish for me and added salt.
- Birthday dessert: I only ate the top portion since the bottom was caramel (grossss).
The wine was good but they brought out the wrong one (mistake #2). We were comped a bottle though, that was awesome (and necessary).
Our bill was about $210, minus tip. I shivered not because it was expensive but because I felt like the food was not worth it. But what in Vegas isn't expensive?!
Oh yea, our bill had the shellfish tower on it still (mistake #3) so you might want to carefully check it.
