| - Coming here was a bit random. I was staying at theHotel at Mandalay Bay and a group of us decided to hit the Happy Hour special after a nice run on the craps tables. I am sure glad we did.
I ordered/tried only appetizers this time around. The list includes Skirt Steak, Oysters, Tiger Prawns, Crab Cakes, Duck Fat Fries, Lobster Fitters and Kobe Sliders. I could write on and on about how good everything was, but I'll keep this short.
The Skirt Steak was remarkable. I'd say it was about an 8oz serving and had a chimichurri sauce over it. Perfectly grilled to my liking. It was almost as tender as filet. The steak had a nice char on the outside. Just perfection all around.
My next favorite the Kobe Sliders. I'll admit I've never had the pleasure of having a full Kobe steak at any restaurant. I sort of think it is overhyped, but these were sublime. They were small, but for the amount of food we ordered, it was a perfect size. If you go to their Happy Hour, they are 50% off ($10 instead of $20), order 2 orders, they are that good.
The Duck Fat Fries were great. There were 3 different kinds. Most reviews have written about them, but I am reiterating how good they were. The middle ones with the truffle aioli was the best of the bunch.
My next trip to Vegas, hopefully sooner than later, I will be stopping here to try a full meal. The bartenders commented repeatedly how good their Rib Cap Steak is. Gotta try it.
