| - I was nervous about trying out this schizophrenic restaurant... what is it? A steak house? An italian place? A sushi restaurant? Tapas? HUH? I thought the sushi/continental/steak/italian concept was stupid and could never work... they proved me wrong!
I went here for a work dinner. The place was packed on a Wednesday night (a good sign!). The views were incredible and the restaurant is incredibly well designed. It's a huge place, but honestly every seat has a great view. Watching the sunset and seeing the lights come on on the strip was awesome from their vantage point . Loved it. Service was also divine. Now on to the important stuff... the food..
Sushi: I was blown away by the freshness of their fish. I expected crap, but was pleansantly surprised. Not fishy.. not mushy.. just awesome. They had a surf & turf roll on special. Spicy tuna covered in seared kobe steak. Awesome!!
Appetizers/tapas/"sharing plates": We only tried the kobe sliders. I've had so many awesome sliders in this town, that I can say these were great, but I honestly prefer the ones at Hanks better. However, they were served with amazing shoestring sweet potato fries..! I'd order them again for sure.
"Large plates": I ordered the black truffle chicken breast. The sauce.. the chicken... it was all perfection! I sampled my coworker's ribeye.. tender, well prepared, and tasty. Mac and cheese was creamy, but not too heavy.
Desserts: The little mini donuts were kinda a disappointment to be honest.. skip those!
Price: A great value!! With entrees ranging from $19-$35 it's quite "reasonable" for Vegas. Sashimi was $6-$9 for 3 pieces, sushi rolls were in the $7-$15 range, Chimay was $6/bottle, etc. Hardly cheap, but when you're looking to splurge you definitely get a good value for your money here!!
