| - The Beautiful Carin and I were in Las Vegas on business a couple of weeks ago and had a couple of free evenings. I am not much of a gambler (although Carin can put some time in at the Blackjack tables), but when dinner time rolled around I was able to get her join me (even though she was on a roll!
We were at the Venetian and decide to eat there, at Zeffirino.
I guess things are little slow, because even without a reservation, we were seated immediately.
They have a very nice bar and a good wine cellar (and some very nice "by the glass" selections.
We started with martini's (excellent, BTW). We shared a lobster/truffle ravioli special appetizer and Carin had Capon, stuffed with Prosciutto and black truffles, and I had Mediterranean Sea Bass.
Both were very good, the service was good (a little bit hovering, at times, but they were just trying to be nice), and the decor and ambiance were beautiful.
The only down checks for this place come from the fact that it's in a casino, so still that smell of cigarette smoke; almost $150 for the light dinner I just described (no dessert, BTW...we had late dessert at another place) and the sort of hovering service (I just don't need to have someone inquire if everything is "wonderful" after every second bite).
So, pretty good grub, but go on an expense account.
