| - we went with the beef tasting menu
amuse bouche cheese gougere: a little weak since not that airy.
wagyu beef crudo: coriander, saffron, fennel
classic, subtle on the saffron
--paired with colterenzio, moscato giallo 2009 alto adige
beef cheek ravioli: aceto balsamico
pretty amazing, perfect flavor and savory and slightly sweet
--paired with la mozza, morellino di scansano 2007 toscana
wet aged piemontese beef: spinach, garlic, quail egg
fried quail egg done expertly, tasty, small parts slightly chewy
--paired with teresio colline saluzzesi 2003 piemonte
dry aged BBL beef: lobster, potato, bearnaise
another dish for contrast wet vs dry aged, nice wine pairing, lobster portion ok
--paired with gaja 2008 piemonte
vanilla semifreddo: pistachio rum strawberries
creative, rum sauce thickened to look like a beef stew sauce
--paired with maculan 2009 veneto
i'm not a steak lover, but this satisfied, and I really enjoyed the company.
this time came for a steak dinner: (ribeye for 2 carved at your table, very pricey like the rest of vegas)
also got the filet mignon -- needed a sauce dressing
thus tried black truffle vinaigrette, but not enough truffle flavor, and that was $5 extra
the taglietelle with porcini was ok. chopped salad ok
bread still good.
easy to walk in here by snagging a table at the bar by 7 pm.
