| - It was Friday night and we were meeting some friends for dinner, the restaurant was packed with both inside and outside seating. DEF RECOMMEND the outside seating- since this location is on the bottom floor of the Entrance off the strip in the Cesars palace- and from the outside seating you get the tourist people watching attraction (strippers, escorts, bridal parties, girls going out in super short dresses)
The best is when sitting outside and the escalator is right there: when a girl in a super short skirt/dress walks by: all I did was watch all the guys try to get a peep. My back was faced toward the gotti shop next door and I knew every time when a girl in a short dress would walk by because every man (husbands and groups of guys) would stop what they were doing to stare at this girl going up the escalator. Super hilarious.
Anyways onto the food:
APPETIZERS
*** Assortment of Breads: What seemed like Pumpernickle, a lavosh- 2 kinds- a sesame seed one and another amber colored one (both were delicious), white bread rolls- all served with BIG CHUNKS OF Cold butter- recommendation- Ask for HOT drawn butter and dip your bread into that
*** THE Whale (SEAFOOD PLATTER- served cold)- Market value
- 4 legs of NON FROZEN Alaskan King Crab
-Avacado chunks/mini scallops/small chunks of Shrimp, red and yellow bell pepper with lime juice ceviche
-2 lobster tails cut into 4 pieces served cold
-jumbo shrimp cocktail
------The Whale comes highly recommended as per our waiter, the seafood on this platter is never Frozen.
DINNER
1)green salads: very large portions with a light vinagrette
2)select stone crab (6 pieces): not recommended- yet it comes pre cracked and easy to eat but you can tell it is frozen. The meat on the inside was hearty but still lightly frozen and it just wasnt as sweet as the alaskan King crab legs
3) side of creamed spinach ($8.95)- NOT RECOMMENDED- tasted almost like it went bad- like sour milk- barely ate it and almost returned it
4) Filet mignon- 12 oz- $47.95- cooked rare plus- very tiny for the price
5) Filet and tail- ( 6ox Filet and 10z Atlantic Fire Grilled Lobster tail served with Drawn butter
-Very small lobster tail after its been fire grilled and truthfully much better served cold in the whale platter
DESSERT
1)Key Lime Pie- their most recommended dessert
-super super high quality lime taste, very tangy and refreshing with grahm cracker crust. Very buttery and delicious
2) Coconut Cream Pie- very sweet, creamy filling with whipped cream and shreads of dried coconut- not as good as the Key Lime Pie
Overall, the quality of food was EXCELLENT- Our server Steven was very high class and polite and prompt. He even saw that we were struggling with the dessert but knew we wanted some so he brought out the Key Lime Pie at No Charge.
Although the service and quality of food was excellent- the price point was super high- Dinner for the 4 of us was close to 500$.
Not an everyday place but will come back for a special occasion.
