| - Oh, what a night! We came to celebrate my husband's birthday as he hit another milestone in his Life. Thanks to wonderful friends, Jan K and Randy F, for joining us in LV. You made this momentous occasion extra special and so memorable at Prime.
We were winding down on a 5-night drink, eat and be merry fest (husband's birth week) with Jan and Randy and had planned dinner at Prime on my husband's birthday. From the late 90's when we've visited Las Vegas for either business or leisure, we've often passed by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's elegant steakhouse which overlooks the fountains at The Bellagio but never dined there until this Saturday.
I have to say that we've been fans of Chef Vongerichten since the early 90's when we dined at his first Vong restaurant in NYC. He masterfully played with exotic spices and herbs to create his version of Thai-inspired French cuisine. So, to dine at the first one of two Vongerichten restaurants in Las Vegas was a no-brainer.
This elegantly appointed restaurant offers a romantic ambiance within a classic steakhouse. During warmer months, one can book a table overlooking the Fountains at The Bellagio. But, it was too chilly so we that dined indoors.
Our server for the evening, Jason, was top-notch as he offered his oenophilic expertise while we placed our dinner selections. He was attentive and non-intrusive as he and his team seamlessly kept our beverages filled, cleared plates, paced our dining selections and maintained a personable professional manner.
