| - After reading Yelp reviews, mostly touting happy fans; and hearing a fine review via word-of-mouth, we chose reservations for Wednesday at 5:30. This is not a review about meat, however, so I can only imagine...
A maitre'd greeted us and immediately we were seated just where we wished to be-- at a booth in the heart of the"action" (not that you can find a bad seat in the house). The ambiance is stunning, in bright Moroccan colors, a fireplace glowing, and all seating arrangements far enough apart for good conversation. The music was at a perfect level and, frankly, it was quite a romantic setting.
Our server Fiona enjoys what she is doing and even kept my entree warm while I went to the restroom. I ordered blackened salmon, accompanied by mashed potatoes & really delicious green beans, with a perfect lemon sauce on the side. This salmon was surprisingly one of the best I've had for blackened (but chef w/make it several other ways too). My partner chose Chicken Piccata accompanied by lemon pasta and green beans. Since it's always a chicken favorite of mine, I had to agree this Piccata was wonderful! And enough to take home.
A number of my favorite wines of the red variety were on the list and I chose Layer Cake cabernet, velvet on my tongue.
How could I fail to mention the very warmed bread in a basket? There were homemade Parker House-type rolls, a pretzel roll, and as Yelpers rave about--the croissants. No kidding, they're better than the French bakeries in town.
Here is a toast to your experience at Fuego's Steakhouse at Fiesta/Henderson. No doubt you, too, will be a very happy camper.
