Best meal of my life so far, hands down.
When 4 out of my 5 best buds fell ill just before the weekend of my 21st birthday, my mom decided that she and I were going to Vegas instead. At first I was bummed that my friends couldn't make it, but what a trip it was, and this meal was the crown jewel. We both had the "classics" tasting menu with wine pairings.
The service was impeccable from the moment we walked it, the bread was fresh and heavenly, we had a view of the Bellagio pool...and did I mention that the sommelier there is both knowledgeable and HOT? After a few glasses of wine I was debating asking him if he was married...but no, I didn't. Gotta keep it classy in a place like this!
I don't remember each specific dish, but the standout was that Maine Lobster Pot Pie. Dear gods! I was frustrated that I got too full to finish it! So luscious, simple and yet complex at the same time. MM deserves every minute of fame that he's had due to that dish. Totally exquisite.
