I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water at...JEAN GEORGES STEAKHOUSE! - Tessanne Chin (bridge over troubled water cover)
This restaurant wins the award for the most exceedingly surprising meal of the year as I saved this for my last review of 2013! The average yelp rating does not do this place justice and based on my overall experience with their service + signature tasting menu, I ended my recent Vegas trip on a very high resounding 'pitch perfect' note!
Signature tasting menu:
1. caviar w/ creme fraiche and lemon gelee (the lemon gelee was more for decoration but the caviar and creme fraiche tasted good together)
2. tomato salad (many components to this dish - large tomato with smaller heirloom tomatoes + avocado + other things i can't remember, wish i took a picture but components were lovely, very good flavors)
3. scallops (wished i had more, no complaints)
4. soy glazed short rib (probably the star of the meal, came with an apple hash that went amazing with the short ribs, which by the way were mouth-watering tender)
5. wagyu filet (brussels sprouts which reminded me of kale - four different dipping sauces that were fun although the flavor of the steak was great on its own, cooked medium rare plus)
6. chocolate mousse w/ mint gelato (mint flavor was not overpowering and i loved the chocolate candy dots on top, added a fun crunch)
A common theme throughout each course is that there are many well thought out components to each dish. Sometimes simple is better but when the elements taste so harmoniously together, it's hard to complain. Also the turnover time between courses was impressive and on point. One of the truly satisfying and complete tasting menus that I've experienced in Vegas (which is quite a brick ton) and would highly recommend for your current/next visit!
Counting down to 2014:
9 - Nine o'clock and kitchen was still open!
8 - the number of meals (including late nights) I had on this recent trip
7 - the number of meals I wished I had (earl's sandwich at 3 am is a scary line lol)
6 - the amount of courses in the tasting menu
5 - five stars for service without a doubt
4 - for sure it was a memorable time
3 - three winter nights (including ice skating fun!) culminating in this final meal
2 - two people who left with big smiles on their faces
1 - one month until I'll be back
0 - zero reasons not to come to Jean Georges Steakhouse!
Happy New Years fellow yelpers!!! #readyfor2014
