| - The best meal I've had at a fine dining place in a long time. I'm gonna apologize in advance for the obvious sucking up and butt kissing.
Few of us came in for dinner on a weeknight. Made a res couple months earlier. Got sat promptly at our time at an upstairs table. I liked it up there, not sure why some people don't. Seems a lot more relaxed than what I saw downstairs.
Waiter showed up quick to the table, grabbed drink orders. Just to get it out of the way, service was fantastic the whole meal. Our waiter was very good, and very adept at handling somewhat drunk diners who were obviously going to continue that way.
I decided on the Onion soup for an app. Now, I have to sadly admit that my beef wellington experience is mostly tied to Vegas buffets, so after being assured from my dining friends that "uh, yea, the beef welly here isn't going to be anything like that", which I figured sounded more than logical, I went with that for main, and got the sriracha broccoli for a side. Later on, got slightly nudged into ordering the sticky pudding.
45 minute wait for the wellington, which went by pretty fast. The onion soup was really good, no over cheesing or breading. Perfect flavor, not over seasoned, it was good. The beef wellington arrives, it's REALLY good, looks and tastes great. Tender, rich, it cut like buttah. The sriracha broccoli was great as well, tender, with a spicy, but not overpowering flavor.
Friend got a side of foie gras added to their steak order. Don't have a lot of experience with it, as I avoid a lot of liver associated food stuff, but wanted to try it, and it tasted great. The best I've had in memory. Rich as hell, I had several bites, and probably could have handled a few more. Great stuff.
Pretty well stuffed at that point, but one friend said "I don't eat at someplace like this without getting dessert". So, I went with the flow. Usually not a big fan of chocolate sweet dessert, but the "cake" type sticky pudding with the caramel (?) sauce and dollop of ice cream was great as well. I left a couple bites so I could play like I wasn't a complete pig, but doubt anybody fell for that.
I think we all ordered the onion soup, and beef wellington, one friend did have the tomahawk steak, and there was a baked potato somewhere, so not much diversity going around. One did order a side of the truffle mac n cheese. I've had this before somewhere else, and while it was good, I'm just not a truffle oil kinda guy. Everyone else loved it.
Like I said, best meal in a long time. Usually no matter where I eat at this level, there is something that is "okay", or "average", or something I didn't care for. Not here, not this time. I think I can say next Vegas trip, I'll probably come here again for the big meal.
