| - First of all, the restaurant is gorgeous. We were fortunate to be seated toward the back, away from the entrance and near the floor-to-ceiling walls of glass overlooking the strip. Jaw-droppingly beautiful. Service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly. It was a nice meal, but nothing really wowed us. Maybe a case of too-high expectations, but there you go. We shared the smoked beet salad. Attractively presented under a glass dome that contained the smoke. It was a nice salad, but we felt the golden beets were overwhelmed by the smoke and other elements. I had the filet mignon. It was good, but not great - I felt like it was a bit lacking in beef flavor. David enjoyed his short ribs, served over polenta, more. Neither of us felt like the roasted tomatoes on our plates added much. The side of roasted cauliflower that we shared, however, was very good. For dessert we shared a chocolate mousse cake, and it was a letdown, both the somewhat dry cake and the too-strong passion fruit gelato that didn't seem the right accompaniment. Don't get me wrong, we had a very nice meal, but for a restaurant of this caliber, I was hoping for even better.
