| - Hubby and I wanted one really GOOD meal in Vegas when we were there. We also wanted a place we could walk to and since we stayed at the Signature, we first looked at all the MGM restaurants. I suggested CraftSteak. Even though I have a crush on Tom Collechio, I don't think that justifies $120 per person for dinner. We liked the varied menu at Seablue more so we made a reservation.
I have to say, from the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. I don't know if that's a Michael Mina thing or an MGM thing but it is duly noted. The decor and ambiance of Seablue really impressed us as well. We sat against a beautiful aqua wall that was a fountain and it was quite serene and relaxing. The dining room also wasn't too loud, which was impressive.
So they start you off with "bread." As noted in several reviews, this is delicious flatbread with three types of dips (hummus, egg plant, and feta spread). Delicious...I didn't need an appetizer. Also, they have a build your own salad option, which I exercised (baby lettuce, beets, fresh bufala mozz, cherry tomatoes. YUM! Neither hubby or I are big fans of oysters so I can't tell you if they were good but they had many types to choose from.
We moved on to our own version of surf and turf. I got the filet and hubby got the two pounds of king crab legs and we split them between the two of us...see? We made our own surf and turf, isn't that great? We're so smart.
We both had two glass of wine as well and the bill was $170 so not too terrible but definitely a splurge. I recommend Seablue for a lovely dining experience. The food is very good, the service is amazing and it's away from the ding ding ding of the slot machines.
