| - I once read, " Don't be so quick to judge, you never know when you might just find yourself walking in that person's shoes." Well, in my experience of dining at Eiffel Tower Restaurant, that quote might just very well ends with "you never know when you might just find yourself sitting at their best table, and enjoy it, too!!"
While planning our Anniversary/Christmas Trip to Vegas, BF asked that I must plan a meal here because he had such a phenomenal experience in the past. I begrudgingly agreed because I thought there are so many new and exciting restaurants on the strip that we can try. So, me, being the shortsighted idiot, made a reservation for lunch instead of dinner.
After we checked in with the host and hopped onto the exclusive elevator that somehow managed to transport us from the tackiness around Paris Hotel to a realm of sheer elegance. Sure enough, knowing it was an anniversary celebration trip for us, the thoughtful folks from Eiffel Tower Restaurant seated us at their famous corner table (yes, Table 56!!) With the breathtaking view, the etiquettes from our attentive maître d', server, and busboy, I suddenly realized that my BF's stubbornness wasn't that much of a burden after all.
Our server and bus boy promptly presented and served us the menu and freshly made baguette. Our server thoroughly explained every item on the menu to us, and we opted for:
- Creamy French Onion Soup (unlike any other French onion soup, this wasn't as cheesy nor greasy but rather light. Please don't get me wrong; the flavors and the creaminess weren't compromised in any way.)
- Cold Foie Gras Torchon (rich and dense foie gras wrapped with duck prosciutto, along with fig, and then smeared on top of the brioche. I particularly enjoyed how the foie gras was presented in a similar texture as butter and the way it melts upon ingestion.)
- Lamb Burger (As a big fan of lamb, I naturally ordered it medium rare. The spices immersed the lamb heavenly, served with chips, and a side of harissa aioli.)
- Aged Parmesan Crusted Chicken (crispy and juicy, it reminded me of the chicken schnitzel that I had from "Johannes" at Palms Springs.)
Plus...
- Apple strudel (I usually don't like to mix fruit with dessert, so it's my BF who ordered this. However, I fairly enjoyed my few bites of pâte feuilletée dipped in the caramel sauce.)
Other than the strudel, they also sent us a complimentary chocolate soufflé for our anniversary, which was a very lovely gesture. Now that I'm thinking back, my biggest regret during my entire trip was that not only I didn't get to taste their evening tasting menu, but I also didn't get a chance to try their famous Grand Marnier Soufflé (since it's only served during dinner.) Mind you, prior to my lunch at Eiffel Tower, BF and I had just our previous dinner at "Le Cirque," and quite frankly that dinner was not even close to this lunch at Eiffel Tower Restaurant. I applaud the classiness of their attentive and gracious staffs. My highest compliments to the chefs and the entire Eiffel Tower Restaurant Team, for this exceptionally exquisite meal and making us feel special the entire time. I cannot wait to go back!!
