| - I just returned from one of the most overpriced lunches ever. it was at the verandah at the four seasons hotel, which is also located in the mandalay bay resort. the hotel has a private entrance away from the main entrance of the mandalay. It does continue on with that slightly tropical, slightly Asia and beautiful resort dcor from the mandalay. theme. there was indoor and outdoor seating available overlooking the pool. the tables and chairs were of rattan amidst the wood tones around the restaurant. We started with tuna sampler of tuna tartare (ahi poke), blackened sashimi (seared tuna) and spicy tuna maki roll (spicy tuna roll)...good but unimpressive. We also had the tasty and crispy crab cakes on a jicama-green papaya-mango slaw (this is a definite recommendation...i just love that slaw). my friend had the original san francisco crab louis, which was loaded with hella lumps of crab meat. i had the nioise Salad with grilled hawaiian rare tuna (these were meaty bastards that resembled slightly rare steak with a shiny sheen under different lights), haricot vert, roasted potatoes, cherry tomatoes, capers, and big chunks of red and green olives sprayed with vinager. We also ordered garlic and parmesan fries, sweet potato fries, which both needed a better dip than ketchup. (note the sweet potato fry comment on my pop's review...totally better over at pop's.) my friend could not stop raving about the macaroni and cheese (sounds like somebody else out there...Ed M.) and wholly crap!!! it was damn good, in fact i took some back to the office and eating it right now. this cheese is just extremely creamy, but what I love about it is the garlic toast sprinkles all over the top. when you mix it all up, every bite you'll taste the creamy buttery cheese, the softness of the macaroni, crunchy little bits scattered throughout. we did finish it off with the mini eskimos, roasted nuts and dark chocolate covered vanilla ice cream bars on a stick. i had to have two!!!
if i could i would like to give this place 3 and a half stars. i mean the mini eskimos and crab cakes were good. i ordered the nicoise salad because it looked and tasted good, plus i didn't see anything appetizing in the entree section. it is a good thing b/c i probably wouldnt have had the chance to try the mac and cheese and fries. both items were side dishes, and they were happy to whip us up an order. i would like to return here for afternoon tea and then add some more insight to this place...till then...
