For the price you pay, we were very pleased with the quality of food and service you receive from Lakeside. Our dinner started at 8:30pm and we were seated near the outside view of the waterfall/light show. As I walked past the other tables, the server had brought out a live lobster on a tray to show other guests. Too bad I am not a fan of lobster!
This restaurant doesn't offer a tasting menu. Everything is a la carte. The average price for each dish is around $40 which I find it being very reasonable for its location and ambience. We ordered couple appetizers and four entrees. The only dish I thought was average was their foie grais. The seafood dishes were all above average. Even the bread basket they served was pretty good.
My favorite dish was the lobster risotto. The shrimps, scallops and fish dishes were good but I would order their lobster risotto next time. And yes, this is one of those restaurants I would dine over and over again when I'm in Vegas.
We looked over the dessert menu after our dinner and noticed they did not serve coffee ice cream. The waiter tried to best to find that flavor ice cream by calling the restaurant next door since the pastry chef works at both restaurants. We suggested a shot of espresso and a scoop of their vanilla ice cream instead. Affogato style! He was able to make that magic happen and we happily ate this amazing ice cream that was made from scratch by their own chef. Next time I am ordering my own! The espresso was from illy which made the overall dessert taste that much better!
Lobster risotto and Affogato for dessert. That's all I can say about this place that makes them 4 stars!
