| - My husband works at MGM. We have tried a good amount of places there. I recently tried Wolfgang Pucks. I always pass it when I visit him, so I was curious.
I had the Truffle Potato Chips with Maytag Blue Cheese Sauce to start off with. Oh my goodness! These have to be the most spectacular potato chips I have ever had. Then again, almost anything cooked with truffle is amazing.
I was told that the organic chicken was very good. And for my first time there, I always think a chicken dish is pretty safe and hard to ruin. It was quite good. It wasn't dry at all, and the skin was cooked just perfectly. I like the skin to be pretty crunchy. It was served on top of garlic potato puree, honey glazed carrots, and spring peas. Carrots were perfect. I like mine a bit undercooked to give it that crunch texture (If you want soft veggie, go eat baby food). The potatoes were very good to my tasting, but I am not a potato connoisseur.
To top off dinner we shared the chocolate beignets. I was expecting the old fashion beignets (like the square ones from New Orleans at Café Du Monde). Of course, leave it to these chefs to re-invent them. These beignets were almost like donut holes, BUT BETTER! They are almost like the texture of chocolate soufflé that is rolled into a ball. And inside this ball was core of yummy chocolate-ness. To compliment it all, it was served with vanilla bean ice cream and caramel sauce.
Service was decent. It was incredibly busy when we came, so I am not completely sure how they normally are. I would actually give a 2 1/2 -3 stars for service. But the potato chips and beignets make me want to give them four overall.
