| - Went to the Mix restaurant for dinner before watching Celine. I really had no expectations for this place other than seeing the pictures and hearing that the lounge next to it, had a spectacular view. It is due to this, that I was surprisingly impressed. We had a 6 pm reservation, but as they still were not ready to seat us, we went to the Mix Lounge to wait. The view was spectacular. One of the best views at night, as all the lights from strip is so hypnotizing.
Once we got seated, I was ready to eat, as I was famished. My friend and I shared the duck confit and the seared foie gras. The foie gras was so tasty and soft. It just melted in my mouth as I ate it. The duck confit was also delicious, as you could taste the hint of truffles in it. My entree was the braised bison with mixed vegetables and my friends the venison. I really enjoyed the bison, as it was my first actually. I was afraid that it would be dry, but ordering it rare really makes the difference. We accompanied it with the sauteed mushrooms and their specialty "elbow pasta with black truffle, ham and Gruyere cheese". I was happy that we ordered the "mac & cheese", as it was so good. I haven't eat "mac & cheese" for over 10 years, and this did not let me down. The ham really makes the dish. It was so rich though, that we couldn't finish it.
Stuffed, I couldn't order dessert. We both left the Mix with full stomachs as we dragged each other out only to gaze at the lite "X" by the elevator. Yes, "X" does mark the spot here.
