| - We were at a company reward function and Alize was chosen. I liked this restaurant a lot. Maybe I'm easily impressionable but it all started with the salad which at first I thought was salmon "hmm I didn't order salmon" then looked closer to see it was thinly sliced tomato's and greens as well as goat cheese, it was fantastic, I have no idea how the chef was able to slice tomato's like that. I'm picky with salad, this one was so well done.
Then on to the rib eye, good, nice..and filling, I'm not a big eater so it was good to be able to eat the entire meal. Then desert..so good I almost cried..don't know what it was, but some cream thing where the chef flamed the top to create a hard candy like surface, and graced it with a little fresh fruit.
The only thing that fell flat here. The wine..when we asked what it was, the server said "a mix" I'm guessing a mix of swill, water, and something which created an unpleasant aftertaste after about 10 seconds in your mouth. They made up with it with the Sherry. It's a shame that such a great restaurant doesn't hire a wine consultant to get it right, white wine would have probably gone better with most of the dishes, but then again I've never been much of a fan of red wines.
Great meal, then we were on to watch the Play Phantom of the Opera which rounded off the evening which highlighted the trip.
I'd recommend this to anyone, worthy of a drive off the strip to enjoy an evening.
