| - Todd English's latest is incredible! Great atmosphere (cool bar, outdoor pub tables, red leather booths inside) and our server (Paul) was phenomenal. Expansive bar and a huge selection of beers on tap, including some very enticing samplers. No blue cheese olives for the martinis (bummer, since that's a signature drink at Olives). Prices are high, as to be expected in City Center. The seafood is the freshest I've had in all of Vegas- it's flown in every morning. Their live bar comes by the piece- east and west coast oysters and delicious jumbo shrimp cocktail served on a gorgeous platter over ice and garnished with sea plants. The duck buns were incredible- the meat was sweet and tender and the buns were like soft little pillows! I've been dreaming about these ever since and I plan to come back for them!! Lobster rolls were delicious- sweet rolls lightly buttered and grilled, then stuffed with lots of sauteed lobster meat. The coleslaw they were served with was the best I've had. The moules frites (mussels) came in a rich, delicious curry broth and even the fries were perfect. We also had the pickles (three house-made varieties, thought they came with bottled mustard and not stone ground). The smoked salmon quesadilla was incredible- with buttered yukon golds and fried capers. They also do a fabulous bread pudding that is served with fresh whipped cream, salted caramel ice cream, and a delicious toffee sauce. The bread pudding itself was the perfect texture and is one of my favorite desserts in all of Vegas. This place rules, I cant wait to come back and try the carvery menu- chose your meat, sauces and bread. Definitely recommended.
