| - As I approached the restaurant, Kokomo's, in The Mirage I didn't know what to expect. From the outside, it didn't seem like a 5 star restaurant that my friend explained to me. Expecting it to be "dress to impress" type of restaurant, I found myself over dressed for dinner.
After the host lead us to our table, lonely but serene as it looked, there lay a single candle to give the table a small light. The table was a square dark brown wooden table, and chairs as you sit on it were not that comfortable but it did it's job. My first drink was a bottle of Fiji water poured in a wine glass looking cup. Considering I'd never been there, I asked my friend to order for me.
Our wine was a white wine to accommodate for the sea food we were about to ingest. The first course was Kokomo's Seafood on Ice. oh my gosh!!! The oyster on that was super duper great! It was definitely the best oysters i've put in my stomach and in my mouth. It had just the right amount of flavor of sea. With a splash of lemon, cocktail sauce, and hot radish just hit the spot.
Next came the Kokomo's Lobster Bisque. Mmmm... the flaky crust around the soup perfectly blended with the bisque. I couldn't put it down. I think i even scraped it till there was no sign of the soup. For the sides, we had mashed potato, sauteed mushrooms, and jumbo asparagus. By this time, i was already getting full. Yet, there was more coming. I had the Alaskan King Crab Legs. I didn't know if I could finish this since it was oversized and my poor stomach was completely full with no room left. But, slowly I managed to fit everything I could.
We didn't end up with dessert. I couldn't even look at another food after the meal we had. I remember not being able to stand up. Walking was also a challenge. With all this, I still want to go back. Seafood was awesome!
