My juvenile friends and I have had a running joke for a couple years regarding famed baseball player George Brett's "incident" when leaving Kokomo's after gobbling down a bunch of crab legs. You can see him tell the story on Youtube. It might be gross to many but I think it's one of the most hilarious stories ever. "A great fucking place" he says!
So it was an absolute MUST go when the buddy I joke around the most regarding this story was in Vegas for a weekend. We didn't plan on having the crab legs for a market price of $75 but we did plan on yucking it up as much as we could.
This might possibly be the best "fancy" restaurant at Mirage. "Stack" doesn't measure up to its sister restaurant, "Fix", at Bellagio. Who wants to pay for $15 fried rice at "Fin"? Samba Steakhouse is like comparing Rocky 5 to Texas de Brazil/Fogo de Chao's Rocky 4.
Seeing as we could've blown the same amount of money going a la carte as Gordon Ramsay Steak, we all opted for the prix fix menu which was reasonable and a good amount of food for $49.99. I got the lobster bisque after all the raves from other Yelpers and that was flippin fantastic and definitely worth the additional $5. Since I was in an upgrade kind of mood, I went with the 14 oz grass fed sirloin for an additional $12. It was grilled perfectly and went well with multiple martinis. I got the creme brulee for dessert which I couldn't even finish after stuffing myself silly with the terrific bread baskets (bacon bread mmmmmm) between courses.
Service was excellent and it's the best spot for dining at the Mirage with the whole dome thing up top and plants everywhere.
Can someone let me know if there's a George Brett sighting there please?
How is it with so many reviews has there not been a Beach Boys reference?
