Let's just say that I'm happy that Craftsteak at MGM was busy that night and hubby and I got the same day 6pm reservation for this fine establishment. We were offered the "chinchilla" table right next to the door but opted for the booth table located at the back of the restaurant. (So much more cozy and romantic.) Although on this particular night, it so happens that a couple across from us was celebrating their 45th anniversary...so sweet. The atmosphere and the service was top notch: waiters noticing when you leave the table for the restroom and they come and fold your cloth napkin.
Hubby and I ordered 2 appetizers: oxtail ravioli and potato/leek soup
The ravioli was served al dente (just the way I like it) with an incredible sauce. The pasta was the star but then you get a little surprise of the flavorful meat inside. When the soup arrived...yes it was served table side showcasing the ingredients inside the soup first, the waiter then poured our hot and creamy soup in the bowl (a big portion enough for two). You thought the ravioli was good enough, this soup took it out of the park. Loved loved it!
Our main course: 18 oz Ribeye with onion jus and a twice-baked truffle potato. Um....so juicy, tender and the meat just melts in your mouth. The potato of course was super delicious, moist and flavorful.
We were stuffed by the end of the night that we opted out of the dessert portion. Blasphemy right?! Well the restaurant made sure we didn't leave without celebrating our 2 year anniversary with some dessert. What a pleasant surprise! All in all, great place to celebrate those momentous occasions!
