| - My husband and I went here for our first wedding anniversary, and the atmosphere, staff, and food certainly made it feel like a special night. We arrived early for our reservation, and the host apologized that the table wasn't yet ready. He suggested that we wait at the bar, but we instead chose two comfy seats in the entry way. The host asked at least twice if he could get us drinks while we waited, which was only about 15 minutes--our actual reservation time.
We were then seated at one of the large windows overlooking the Strip. Immediately we were presented with water and menus. The wine menu is ridiculous...at least 20 pages long. Needless to say, we floundered with that, so we decided to choose our meals. While we were deciding, the sommelier came over and asked if he could recommend something based both on our personal tastes and what entrees we thought we might order. At that moment, I thought, "Here we go... He's going to suggest some $400 bottle that he knows we can't afford, thereby 'shaming' us." To my delight and shock, he suggested a modest $75 bottle that we both really loved. (Modest compared to people's reviews, stating that there wasn't a single bottle of wine under $100, which is obviously untrue.)
The meal in its entirety went swimmingly and was delicious, and the service throughout was extremely attentive without being intrusive. They started us with a lovely bread bowl and butter followed by a surprise amuse-bouche of avocado soup. I ordered the French onion soup, and my husband ordered the tomato lobster bisque--both great. Our entrees were both steak--me, Wagyu NY strip, and my husband, green peppercorn-encrusted filet. Both were hearty portions with sides and were delicious. We ended with a chocolate souffle, which you have to order with your entree, but our server reminded us of this, so it was, therefore, not an issue. It too was really good (even though we were so full that I could barely appreciate it). Before they presented the check, the waiter came back with a black box tied with ribbon, which he pulled, opening the lid, revealing a message of "Happy Anniversary" and two small bags of house-made fruit jelly candies as a gift.
While our bill was a little under $300 with tip, we had a lovely, lovely evening and thought it well worth the splurge. We may end up making this an anniversary tradition!
