| - Nothing special. The food was good but not spectacular. The service was good as well, however, when we ordered dessert, we also ordered a cappuccino which never made it to the table.
HOST
We arrive late last night (10pm) to be seated. The host was busy talking on his mobile which took a few minutes. No biggie, it must have been important. He apologized and sat us at a booth.
AMBIENCE
Dark, a tad loud with the casino's music, rock star'ish, and a lot of decorative faux cowhide items. Sort of kitschy, imo.
FOOD
We were asked what type of water we preferred (table) and were served preztel rolls w/mustard butter immediately. They were actually pretty good.
For appetizers, the bf ordered the seafood platter which included a king crab leg, oysters, lobster tail, and some shrimp; I ordered the mini mini 3 which includes three half-dollar sized grilled cheese bites, a tea mug of tomato, and another mug of corn chowder. Since I'm the only azn in the world who doesn't eat seafood I cannot rate his dish. My dish was aok.
For entrees, the bf orders scallops over lobster mashed potatoes (or taters as he calls 'em). He notes the scallops were cooked perfectly and were divine. I ordered the usual, a 6oz. filet mignon, medium well. The steak was tender and seasoned well but, perhaps not the best cut of filet--it looked like one of the end pieces. When it first came out, I almost thought they brought out a sirloin. As soon as I cut into it and tasted it, I realized it was indeed filet.
The bf and I noticed that none of the tables had salt and pepper shakers. Luckily, we didn't need them because everything we ordered was seasoned well.
And of course dessert. We ordered the creme brulee which comes in a trio of caramel, chocolate, and (traditional) vanilla. The caramel and chocolate almost seemed like puddings with a caramelized sugar crust. The vanilla was a traditional custard. Don't get me wrong the dessert trio was still delicious. Like I mentioned above, the server forgot to bring out the bf's cappuccino :(.
CONCLUSION
It was a good meal but not worth the prices. I would say the steak quality was that of Outback Steakhouse's (the one at Casino Royale), however the bf thought the seafood was tasty and too small of portions. Our grand total was $122. Luckily, we had a $65 comp. I can't see us returning unless we were given another comp. I'd rather go to Veloce Cibo at the M Resort for the same price.
