| - First thing you noticed walking into this restaurant is its decor. And it is beautiful. Overlooking the Las Vegas skyline, this is a place to impress your date or celebrate that special occasion. The lighting scheme is well placed to bring a exciting, lively ambiance. Not overly dark and romantic at all. This is the place where the mood of the restaurant feels like its ready to party.
First, the chef sent out complementary appetizers. To the chef, I thank you! Lobster cakes were buttery, crunchy, and very good. The duck pate was supposedly great according to my friends. I, on the other hand, never acquired the taste, so I cannot accurately judge them. Their calamari appetizer was more spicy than what I prefer.
Their yellow fin tuna is delicious. Properly seared on the outside, raw inside and fresh on the inside. With a touch of orange slices and asparagus is complement to the fish. the side dish of mushrooms were more saltier than I would prefer. It had generous seasoning of everything; ground peppers, mushroom flavors, and excessive salt. One more thing, the filet mignon is superb. Its supposedly even better with the balsamic sauce. Perfectly cooked, tender and flavourful, I say if the Filet Mignon melts in your mouth without it, then I will welcome the sauce next time I'm here.
The gin martini was good, but still not perfect. There's always a fine balance of gin and olive juice, and many bartenders does not hit the right combo. This guy was close.
One more thing, you get access to the Palm's Playboy Club for dining here. Very nice!
