| - Came here for dinner since my friend and I were going to catch the Cirque du Soleil Beatles later in the evening. It's the July 4th weekend so everywhere seemed to be packed full, but I managed to make a reservation here for 2 at 7pm. I was a bit nervous reading some of the reviews here and had several bouts of second thoughts, and almost canceled our reservation to go elsewhere. However, we're very glad we stuck to it and came here after all.
Located near the Mirage Hotel entrance, right below the atrium, we were met by a lone hostess out front....we were actually 15 minutes early for our reservation, but not a problem.....we were seated right away. You don't get a good view of the restaurant itself as the front portion is hidden by the bar and a few tables right by the casino. As we were led to the back where the actual restaurant is, we were very impressed as to how spacious, cool, and classy the decor was.....very upscale casual dining atmosphere, and good enough for a pleasant business, group, or romantic dinner.
We were told by the hostess who our server would be, but there seemed to be 2 or 3 others who attended to us.....everybody being very friendly and helpful, and not rude and snobbish at all. Our server took our drink orders.....since I didn't want to get too buzzed during the show, I decided not to drink tonight....my friend ordered a glass of wine....some complimentary snacks were also brought out shortly after.....hot and fresh Cheesy Bun and some beef jerky.....the bread was really yummy and my friend said the jerky was very good.
I had already taken a quick look at the menu online and had an idea what I was going to order. I noticed that many of the negative reviews on here were about the steaks....well, thank goodness I don't eat beef! ....my friend does, but she decided on something different for once. And, based on other yelpers' recommendations we had to order the spicy onion rings!
For mains, I ordered the Wood Fired Farm Chicken and my friend ordered the half order Lobster Thermidor. I didn't know how large the portion sizes of sides were going to be, but I had to try as many as I could as I didn't know when I'd ever get to try them again. So, I went ahead and ordered the Mixed Baby Greens Salad, Heritage Crab and Corn Chowder, Roasted Mushrooms, Spicy Onion Rings, and Creamed Tuscan Kale.
Everything was absolutely delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed the chowder....so full and flavor and perfect consistency. My chicken was perfectly roasted......so tender and juicy, and that sauce that it came with was oh so good! As you can probably guess by now, we ordered too much and couldn't finish the sides. All of it was oh so good and delicious, but the creamed kale was pretty heavy and hard to eat a lot of when we had already ordered so much food. Those onion rings were excellent!......we had to push ourselves to make sure we didn't waste it. I honestly couldn't stand up after all this.....but my friend and I decided that it may be a good idea to walk around the casino floor a few times before the show....so we did.
As for the prices.....are people really complaining about high prices of famous celebrity chef restaurants....on the strip in Vegas...in 2017?!?!? I think it was worth every cent of the $210 I forked out for this dinner, and I'd come back for more. If you think this place is expensive then I would be more than happy to give you directions to the nearest Taco Bell.....perhaps you can find better value there?
