| - I'm torn, because I want to question everyone in Vegas as to why this place wasn't more crowded on a Fourth of July, because it is an excellent nite spot with views of the Strip that make you feel like you have a box seat; but then I also want to keep my mouth shut, so that I never have to worry about getting a reservation. Hmm..torn.
We dined recently at this steakhouse located on the top floor of Caesar's Palace newest shopping area. It has an absolutely excellent view of the strip, you can even see the water show at Bellagio from the patio. It is a bit down there, but still.
As far as the service goes, this has to be staffed with some of the most pleasant, professional people I have ever encountered. Too often, the attitude in retail and hospitality is really awful, but in this case, everyone was beyond.
Our server was Michael C. or E. ( I wish I could remember) and he was helpful, nice and zero weird attitude...yay!
My pre-dinner cocktail was the Crush and it was very delicious, sparkling and slightly sweet.
For dinner, my boyfriend started with clam chowder and it was delicious, more of a rich white broth with little bits of clam, than a heavy, creamy typical chowder. Very good. I started with a salad, which was, fresh, crisp and tasty.
We both ordered petite filet medallions and it was the perfect amount of food. It came with a blackberry reduction sauce, but we also ordered a side of the J-1 Sauce to try. Both great, but I think I did prefer the sauce the filet came with afterall.
Dessert came and we shared a creme brulee and the chocolate filled beignets. YUM. I love sugar a bit too much and these were no disappointment. The creme brulee is excellent, it is incredibly rich, creamy and served on the chilled side. Thank you! I really do not like warm, eggy brulee's which are more commonly served.
If you are a person who loves the creme brulee at Nordstrom Cafe, then you would love it here too.
After our dinner, we sat on the patio outside and waited for the 4th of July fireworks to start, but unfortunately weren't able to see any, so headed home and instead saw them shooting off from various neighborhoods along the 95. Great night, really.
