| - JG at the Aria, you have dazzled me. Great food, impeccable service, and killer vibes nicely prime the evening for whatever could be next on your Vegas lineup.
Atmosphere: Mood is EVERYTHING here. Dark, gorgeous, and sexy. Perfect especially for a date night. Electronic chill music leaves things low key and calm while also keeping the energy flowing.
Customer Service: World class from start to finish and probably what sets JG apart from other steakhouses I've dined at on the strip. With sincerity, the customer service here surpasses many Michelin star restaurants I've visited. Hostesses are warm, food servers are friendly and genuine, and managers with a calm presence graciously came by to check on us during our meal. Every dish was explained along the way.
Food:
Bread- Four options with a salted butter. Perfect for those like me who revel in the bread basket just as much as they do the actual dishes.
Caesar salad- the kitchen split our salad for us, and it was plenty to share between two as a starter. Nice lemony touch and chopped to small bites, which is much appreciated.
Bone marrow- the GM generously shared a few bonuses with us, to include this one. Presentation has a solid "wow" factor! Of note: bone marrow portion itself is quite small and enough to enjoy on two pieces of toast with a very tasty, vibrant gremolata.
Steak- NY strip was cooked to perfection and served with several sauces, which were all explained by the great staff.
Sides- We had the creamed kale, truffle mac and cheese, and asparagus. Absolutely LOVED the creamed kale and asparagus. Truffle mac and cheese was enjoyable but less exciting than I imagined it to be. Be careful when ordering the first two though- they were pretty heavy on the salt.
Dessert- We had the cheesecake and chocolate cake! Beautiful presentations with multiple creative components. Best when paired with a coffee. :)
Dining on the strip tends to be inflated, but when you are deciding on where to eat, I can suggest JG as a cut above the rest because of the service; while the food is delicious and great quality, the five-star staff makes this place more of an experience and not just a meal!
