What a great place!!!
My girl and I share the same birthday and every year we do it up. Taking a road trip somewhere and enjoying our time together. This time she planned a big shindig in LAS. She wanted to go here to Stack. One of her top 5 restaurants. So, of course, I agreed. I've never been here. But it made her top 5 so...
What an amazing place!!! The decor was beautiful. Dark woods and a very romantic ambiance. Candle lit tables and a very attentive wait staff. Our waiter, Manny, was amazing. Helpful and knowledgeable of his menu.
We had the meatballs to start. Get them! I'm not going to describe. Just get. We then had the Caesar salad. Which was totally "homemade". You could actually taste the anchovies! Amazing.
My girl had the sea bass on a bed of lobster risotto. My word. So delicious. Sea bass cooked to perfection. Flaky and juicy. But the risotto? Wow. I mean wow. Chunks of lobster wit every bite. I mean my girl said she'll dream about this dish until she has it again.
I had the 14oz Brooklyn filet with whipped, not mashed, potatoes. Filet cooked to a medium. Which in retrospect I'll get medium rare next time. Not that this wasn't good medium. It was great! Juicy and tender. On the bone no less. Which just adds to the flavor!!! Served with a red wine reduction and peppercorn barenaise sauce. This truly enhanced the flavor. Didn't take away or overpower the meat. The whipped potatoes you ask? Truly wonderful. I asked my girl to make these next time we have steak and potatoes. She said yes. Of course she did. She loved them as much as I did.
After all this we were spent. Then Manny brought out our Birthday desserts. Vanilla ice cream with "happy birthday " written in chocolate. Truly a simple but heartfelt gesture on the part of the Stack staff. Meant so much to us.
All in all. Go! Go and enjoy Stack. The staff wonderful. The food to die for!!!
Update: Again, this place does not disappoint. Came here tonight after watching Beatles Love. We were looking forward to the Stack experience.
Guess who our waiter was...once again, the awesome Manny. Such a pleasure to have him again! Service from this gentleman should be taught!!! He was attentive and did not leave us disappointed.
We started with the sashimi with serrano peppers. So light and flavorful. Along with the kale salad made for a great opener. This time around my girl had the scallops and I had the sea bass with risotto. We ate half and switched plates. What can I say? The scallops were perfectly cooked on a bed of grits. My sea bass was just as delicious as the last time.
Carlos, the GM, came by the table to check on us and we had nothing but praise to give him for the food and the service.
Will come back again and again!!!
