| - Lets get this out of the way first: whoever is in charge of hiring is doing an EXCELLENT JOB. It's probably just me, but wow, I've never seen so many attractive, friendly, comely ladies all working in one place, or maybe I just don't get out much. Regardless, it was decently eye-pleasing. Oh, the food was pretty good too. :)
Our server, I believe her name was Sabrina, who best fit the description above, was very professional, friendly, and communicated effectively in a place where it is very noisy due to the large crowd. She first gave us the drinks menu on a mini computer tablet, which I found to be a bit bothersome scrolling down the page to look at everything and reading all the descriptions as fast as possible because there was only one tablet and my friends all wanted to take a look at it too. She gave us a few recommendations, and highly suggested the Innis and Gunn draft beer, which I ordered. Sorry, I'm a gullible fool when it comes to beautiful ladies, but I love trying new beers, and this one did not disappoint. It was smooth, flavorful, aromatic, and balanced. It had a nice mix of bitter and sweet, crispy and bright, and malty and light. Excellent recommendation!
On to the food, we first ordered the Fried JalapeƱo Poppers, and Sabrina told us that one of them has the seeds left in it, so someone will get a rude awakening. We all ate at least one, and I had two, but it didn't seem like anyone got it. Though, I admit that my first popper was hotter than the second one because the second didn't have any heat at all. If I did get the one with the seeds, I prefer all of them to have the seeds! Other than that, the poppers were very, very good. Loved the crispiness and lightness of the batter, the creamy cheddar fillings, and the tasty cheddar ranch sauce on the bottom. I liked how it was presented: shot glasses were used as the serving vessel for the poppers with the ranch sauce in the bottom served on a glass plate. A well-prepared and constructed dish.
The second appetizer we ordered was the Fury Chicken Wings. The wings were all frenched into lollipops, fried, and coated in a sweet and tangy sauce with crumbles of blue cheese and slivers of carrot. As simple as this dish was, I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce on the wings was incredibly tasty, and the creamy blue cheese added a nice savory and bitter element to the sweetness of the sauce with the carrots cutting into the richness and added crunchy element. This was a perfect bite of food.
For my burger, I went with the Chanterelle Burger, medium rare, with arugula with a fig-onion jam. First bite, WOW. The burger was a perfect medium rare that was well-seasoned, flavorful, and juicy, and the juices wasn't running out and going all over place! Finally, a restaurant that actually rests their burgers at the optimal time! Obviously not a fast food place. The arugula added the freshness and bitterness that almost balanced out the sweetness of the fig-onion jam. For me, there was a bit too much jam in the burger as it slightly overpowered the mushrooms and parts of the burger. The best part of the burger was the buns! The inner part of the buns were tasty and crispy while the outer part was firm and toasty with the inside still soft. This was probably the best or one of the best burger I've ever had.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. The service was excellent. Sabrina was very attentive and friendly (and pretty). The food came out at the right amount time. Lastly, the burgers are great! With the Gordon Ramsay running it, it has to be.
I am definitely coming here the next time I am in Vegas!
On a final note, our lovely server, Sabrina, actually remembered us as we ran into her many, many hours later in the Planet Hollywood casino and she greeted us. What other server would even care to say "hello" to customers, or even remember any customers at all, especially going through so many during one shift? I suppose we were that memorable. :)
