| - A wonderful dinner experience at this beautiful restaurant! Everything was PERFECT! We have been to the lounge before, it was fun, and the dining experience this time was even better!
The elevator to Mix restaurant and lounge was scary, it was meant for dining people to see some amazing views on the way up, too bad I am scared of height. Passed through Mix lounge, lovely host girl let us choose a window booth or a bird nest booth, was it a bird nest? Or half egg shell? Either one I guess, I liked the bird nest, it was more private, comfy and fun.
We brought our own Perrier JOUËT champagne, our server put it in the ice to cool it down. I ordered a raspberry lemon drop martini to sip on while we were looking through the menu, very clean and simple menu, I could tell every single item on the menu must be so good. And I was right, the dishes we tried were AMAZING!
Starters:
Complimentary bread basket: assorted breads with butter and peanut butter, very delicious, loved the peanut butter!
Shrimp cocktail: non traditional shrimp cocktail, it was like a salad, jumbo shrimps were so fresh and tender, they tasted so good with the tomato sauce on the bottom, the sauce was so flavorful and delicious!
Broccoli soup: clean flavor, with a hint of cheese in it, it was yummy.
Entrees:
Lobster curry: one of their signature dishes, our server's favorite, he said he didn't even like curry, neither am I, but the curry flavor was fantastic! It was not heavy, just rich and flavorful, small amount of coconut to add a hint of spice, tender lobster meat with exotic flavors, it was MAGICAL, I loved it so much!
Filet mignon with jalapeño pepper: the first cut came out overcooked to medium, they changed another one for hubby, the second one was a perfect medium rare, bloody and juicy, exactly what hubby liked. The red wine sauce was so good, the jalapeño was extremely spicy, server said it was from Santa Monica, most of them aren't spicy, guess hubby just got lucky to have a super spicy one on his plate, but both of us love spicy flavor, we didn't mind. Hubby loved his steak so much.
Sautéed mushrooms: with housemade creamy sauce, delicious mushrooms, the flavors were so strong.
From appetizers to entrees, the food was amazing! The flavors were heavenly delicious! Chef worked magical exotic flavors on each dish, how did he do that?! Just WOW!
Drinks:
Our Perrier champagne was so tasty, loved it, the raspberry lemon drop was strong and yummy, Chef's complimentary coconut and passion fruit soufflé was very very tasty, I usually don't like coconut flavor, what happened that night, how did I come to like curry and coconut flavors?
After so much rich and flavorful food, I had no room for desert, the portions were big, both hubby and I got so full. Chef made us mini cakes with hot fudge as a little treat, just to apologize for overcooking hubby's steak, they were yummy. Hubby had double shot of espresso to finish this lovely dinner, I had the rest of the champagne by myself as usual.
Definitely one of the best dining experience I have ever had for a very long time! The restaurant was beautiful, the views were amazing, the food was spectacular, the service was flawless, it was just PERFECT! Worth every penny of the $300 tab! The cork fee was $35.
Mix has just become one my favorite restaurants in Vegas, along with Comme Ca and Circo. I think I've just had my next Vegas trip dinner dates lined up, that's awesome!
Ps. The lounge next door offers champagne bottle service on the patio, it's a great place to enjoy the night views of Las Vegas while sipping on champagne, very romantic and relaxing.
