| - Pros: Lobster pot pie, black truffle potato puree, friendly service
Cons: Kinda pricey, but that's expected
Kristin C. and I ate here at the Bellagio to celebrate our 4 year anniversary. We had a reservation at 7:30 and were promptly seated. I love when you have a reservation and you actually get seated right away.
Anyway, the decor is very elegant, but not too gaudy or overdone. Definitely felt like a Bellagio restaurant.
Although they have a "tasting menu" that seemed pretty good for the price, Kristin C. and I opted for selected our own entrees. We started with the steak tartare salad and I ordered the sashimi plate. The steak tartare salad was pretty good although they could have put less steak and more vegetables. The sashimi was good, but it wasn't amazing. For our main courses, we got the lobster pot pie and Mediterranean grill plate. The lobster pot pie is one of their signature dishes and it definitely did not disappoint. The lobster pieces were generous. The Mediterranean plate was pretty good, but it wasn't amazing. It had grilled calamari and prawns, but it wasn't anything to write home about.
The big winner in my mind, however, was the black truffle potato puree. Anything with truffles is a win in my book, and that puree was no different. It was creamy and had the right amount of flavor. Delicious.
In the end, without any beverages, our bill came out to $199 without tip. Kinda pricey, but not too bad for a fancy meal.
