| - We recently celebrated our anniversary and spur of the moment picked Sensi as our dining destination of the night. I've had this establishment bookmarked for quite some time, and it appears there was a time during which this place was missing the mark. I am glad that it wasn't the case in this instance.
We had a reservation for 9:15pm, arrived a bit early and sat at the bar while waiting for our table. As far as Vegas fine dining goes, I was not overly impressed by the design or the decor of this place. I like simplistic, but this was overly so and it looked like the furniture needed some updating. We were seated at 9pm and had a great view of the open kitchen. It reminded me of a fish tank.
We opted for the chef's tasting menu ($85 per person) which is is very reasonable, especially for the quality of the food. Our server was great... he was like Beetlejuice -- appeared when we needed him, left us alone otherwise. We started off with a bread basket and two dipping sauces, one being of spicier variety to go with the naan bread that was served. It was a bit confusing to me and I wasn't sure how naan was tied into the whole theme of the menu, but I digress.
My husband and I each ordered different things off the chef's tasting menu so that we can sample everything on it. In addition, we ordered half a dozen oysters and also Octopus Crostini which for me was by far the most underwhelming part of the meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the cauliflower soup, the scallop was cooked to PERFECTION and to me scallops are the ultimate test of one's culinary prowess, Tongue & Cheek was packed with flavor and the Hanger Steak was juicy and cooked to perfection.
My only complaint is that toward the end of the evening, the meal spacing became way too long and I was starting to feel too full to enjoy my dessert (Greek Yogurt panna cotta). I think we were getting antsy to get dinner over with and continue on with our night.
The bill was reasonable and the food as well as the service both hit the mark. I would highly recommend the chef's tasting menu.
