| - This is my second time at Hank's. We came for our 11th anniversary, I guess I told them the occasion when I was making the reservation. From the host to the Sommelier to the waiters all wished us not only a Happy Anniversary, but Happy 11th Anniversary!
I always liked the ambiance of this restaurant. There is glass fire places, several chandeliers, views of steel and glass wine cellar, swanky sofa-like booths as well as tables with nice big chairs for each person.
For a special touch, they seated us at a booth made actually for 4 people so that we could sit side by side.
Service was incredibly attentive and comfortable, yet formal. However, I like a Sommelier that tells you about the wine you just ordered, this one was silent and very stiff when presenting the wine. Last time I was here, our Sommerlier was awesome and gave us info about the wine we were about to enjoy! Anyway, Hank's has a beautiful and extensive wine collection. Take advantage.
One thing that was interesting and I liked was they ask if you want a bread basket or if you want to "save room" for your meal.
My husband order the lobster chowder. I took a bite, it was creamy yet still had nice size chunks of seafood and vegetables. While excellent it was not extraordinary...I make a corn chowder that has a similar flavor profile.
While meant to compliment the steak, I asked for the foie gras as my appetizer. They happily obliged my request, without looking at me strangely. OMG a nice 3 inch slice of heaven that I rarely get to eat anymore.
We shared a steakhouse salad and each got our own 22 oz bone-in ribeye. Beautifully cooked to medium-rare, as requested. Sad thing was we were looking forward to a Tomahawk Steak for two, which they no longer offer. Nonetheless, some of the best steak in the Vegas area.
So stuffed and gathering that we don't eat grains they brought us two tuxedo dressed chocolate covered strawberries as a complimentary dessert. Very nice, and that was in addition to the little sweets they bring with your check.
While we normally just celebrate our anniversary with a simple meal out, Hank's made our 11th very memorable. Everyone said good bye and Happy 11th Anniversary, once again.
