| - OUTSTANDING!!
Located in the Four Queens Casino, it reminds you about the glamour of how Las Vegas used to be. Every staff member is dressed in 3 piece suits, polished and friendly. They give every lady a single rose upon entry. The decor is old school Vegas with the brick work and stained glass light fixtures. It's dark and it's the perfect spot to have an intimate dinner date. My BF made reservations for my birthday so we were seated right away.
The dinner starts with a delicious bread basket and drinks. My vodka martini was nice and strong and the left over drink was served over ice. The amount of drink they gave me was close to 3 glasses full. A+ for me!!!
Next, someone comes to your table with the salad cart full of options. Toppings included tomatoes, onions, eggs, croutons, mushrooms, artichokes, etc. Their Cesar dressing was amazing!! They make the dressing fresh so you can really taste the anchovies and all the other spices. My only gripe was the server poured waaaaay too much dressing over my salad. After finishing the salads, they serve you a raspberry sorbet to cleanse your palate for your main course.
I ordered the seafood trio which came with a jumbo lump crab cake, Chilean sea bass and grilled shrimp. The crab cake was full of crab meat and flavorful. The sea bass was so flaky and moist. The shrimp was lackluster compared to the other two and a tad bit over cooked. My BF ordered the rib eye medium rare. Perfection!! The steak was tender and cut like butter. Super juicy!
Your dinner comes with a light dessert consisting of two chocolate covered strawberries, figs and apricots served with fresh whipped cream. The whipped cream was the best part! I could have licked the bowl, but I held back. Lol! Of course they do offer more decadent desserts on their menu. As a bonus, our server Oscar brought me a chocolate lava cake for my birthday!
Thank you to the staff of Hugo's Cellar for making my birthday special. This will definitely be a spot to visit again!!
