| - Delicious!
I went here this past weekend while I was in Vegas with my boyfriend and his friends. We were worried we were dressed too casual, but it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. Also, we went in around 8-9ish and we were seated without having to wait.
The bread basket they give you is so good! They give you raisin bread, a cheesy/onion bread, and parmesan cracker crisps. The parmesan cracker crisps were DIVINE - I could eat a million of them, really.
For appetizers, my boyfriend ordered their crab cakes. YUM! Lots of sweet crab meat, slightly crispy on the edges, and a beautiful presentation with fresh flowers. Another friend ordered their oysters on the half shell, which I didn't try because I'm not that big of a fan of oysters, but everyone who tried it said they were SUPER fresh and delicious.
I ended up ordering their Pan Seared Duck Breast since one of my boyfriend's friends recommended it. It was really good! I loved the sweet sauce they put around the duck and the slightly crispy texture was great, as well. The duck was very moist and pretty much melts in your mouth. Definitely recommend it!
I tried my boyfriend's Kobe Ribeye. SO GOOD! It's the most expensive entree on the menu, but well worth it because the quality and quantity is incredible. So juicy, lots of flavor, and the pomme aligot, which is like cheese melted into mashed potatoes, was amazing with the meat! Although I'd probably regret it later, I could eat that pomme aligot with a spoon. A tip for the Kobe Ribeye is that they cook it differently than other restaurants. My boyfriend ordered it medium well, but it actually looked more like medium rare. Another friend at the table who ordered the same thing asked for it medium rare and it was pretty bloody.
Service is very attentive, as well, which I would expect from such a nice restaurant. Overall, good experience there, but it's definitely not an every day type of eating place. We'll probably only be going back if we win in blackjack again, lol.
