Hidden on the 64th floor of TheHotel at Mandalay Bay Resort is MIX, Alaine Ducasse' Vegas restaurant. It is a gorgeous restaurant with a beautiful view of the south end of the strip. At night it also doubles as an ultra lounge witha dj that spins house music.
We went here for my birthday dinner during a Vegas birthday trip last night and was thouroughly satisfied. We started off with various apertifs which were nothing special. We started off with a complimentary bread basket served with whipped butter and fresh peanut butter which was deelish.
I had the 10 oz NY strip with the house sauce and asparagus and mushroom fricasse for sides. I must say, the steak with the sauce was the best I've ever had. So yummy, its making my mouth water just thinking back. The sides we're also very tasty and complimented the steak nicely.
For dessert, I had the coco lime sorbet with candied almonds on top. It was very refreshing and light. A perfect dessert for such a heavy protein meal. They brought out the dessert with a sparkler and Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate, a very nice touch, I thought.
After dessert, they brought us fresh baked madeleines which I found out was thei signature "end" to the meal. Yum!
The MIX is a fantastic fine dining experience with a great atmosphere and first class service. Expect to pay at least $100 per person for a 2 course meal & aperitif, however, it is very much worth it.
