| - This was probably the most expensive meal I've ever had. At the very least, it was definitely the most expensive meal I've ever paid for. But it was so totally worth every penny.
This place is totally hidden inside the South Point casino. And I never would have guessed that a place like this would exist in the South Point. Don't look for any signs telling you where it is. You just have to look for the unique door. And oh what a gem it is!
We had a reservation, but arrived early and had no problems being seated early. In fact, it's a rather small, intimate space, and we were one of maybe 5 or so parties in the entire restaurant.
It's totally old school. It's the type of place you've read about, but never actually seen. It's all red, plush, and vintage.
Upon being seated, James O. was actually directed to sit next to me, instead of across from me. They definitely cater to the romantic night out.
We were not given menus right away. Instead, our drinks orders were taken. (There is no drink menu, but the waitstaff will tell you what they have.) Then bread and veggies (complimentary) were brought to us. And our water glasses were filled. We talked and munched and took in the space. And then we were given menus. I really enjoyed this approach.
The menus were unique for each person. James O. got the menu with the prices. I got the menu sans prices. While possibly sexist (especially since I was the one paying for this dinner), I found it a classy move. And frankly, I'm glad I didn't see the prices. I just might have freaked out and insisted on us sharing everything and not ordering all that we did. But then I would have missed out big time...
We were attended to by at least three waitstaff. One who was the head and a couple of assistants. Our glasses were never close to empty and anything we wanted was predicted before we could even ask. Very classy, old school service. A total indulgence!
We started with the caesar salad and french onion soup. The caesar salad was made tableside. Dressing and all was created right before our eyes. And it was a seriously fantastic salad. Even though James O. ordered the soup, they also brought me a spoon (note that they didn't bring him an extra fork like they did me for the salad - again, classy and able to predict what we wanted before we could voice it). The french onion soup was oh so incredibly divine! I literally let out a sigh as it dripped down my throat. So that's was french onion soup is actually supposed to taste like! Don't miss out - order this soup!
For entrees, I had the special of the night, a bone-in filet mignon with mushroom sauce. James O. opted for the standard, on the menu, filet mignon (which automatically came with bernaise sauce). We also ordered the asparagus with hollandaise as a side. The steaks were partially prepared tableside, which was awesome. A love a live dinner show! And OMG the steaks were mouthwatering fab! Easily one of the best steaks I've ever had! (Even reheated the next night, it was yummy.) The asparagus was huge (I usually prefer the thinner stalks), but cooked to perfection and quite good. We ate slowly and uninterrupted. A fabulous, romantic meal that was completely delicious to boot!
While we had to take half of our steaks to-go, we couldn't resist ordering dessert. We opted for the bananas foster (since again, I love a good tableside dinner show). And again, it was fabulous and exceeded expectations. I'm not even a big fan of bananas and I loved it. And then they brought out complimentary fruit (a HUGE bowl of it) and plate of chocolate-covered fruit. I don't think I've ever seen grapes that large. And the chocolate-covered fruit was perfection.
From beginning to end, this was a fabulously perfect and romantic meal. We enjoyed and loved every minute of it. Sure, it's pricey. But you definitely get what you pay for. If you're looking for a wow meal, look no further. This is the type of restaurant that really conveys that classy, old school, Vegas-feel - especially in terms of service. Go here!
