| - I had the pleasure of dining at Society this weekend while in Las Vegas for my bachelorette party. My fabulous bridesmaids set-up dinner here before we went out for the evening.
We each did the prix-fixe menu. Let me tell you, that's the best idea with a group of 8 women.
I started off with the Ragin' Bull. Yummy! There was a hint of Red Bull flavor - not too overpowering! The one downside was that Happy Hour prices weren't honored at your table. We didn't want to annoy the waitress and not order drinks from her, so we just didn't drink (outside of me).
The mac & cheese bites were lovely little balls of happiness. However, I didn't care for the dipping sauce. I felt it was too bland, too orange, and not worth the calories. The pretzel dipping bread? If I could stick those in my purse to snack on throughout the night, I would've! It was the quintissential Vegas drinking snack. Drink, gamble, and chew! The tuna sashimi appetizer with shrimp chips was okay. Not my favorite, but it was tasty. The fruit and nut salad was my least favorite. There was way too much dressing for my liking.
5 of us had the Trenne Pasta as our meal - triangular tubed pasta with a hint of truffle oil, fresh shaved parmesan, cream sauce, proscuitto, and peas. OH MY YUMMY. The truffle oil was the perfect compliment to my creamy dish. The snap of the peas was a nice accent to the fresh made pasta. I tried the Jidori Chicken - talk about juicy and flavorful. I can't even describe the flavor, but it made me feel warm and fuzzy. My future sister-in-law had the salmon. I didn't try it, but she said it was awesome. On top of all that food, we each had our own cone of french fries - sweet potato and regular.
Now dessert.....I'm a sweets girl. I love them. I need them. So needless to say, when 2 baggies of donut bites came out piping hot, covered in confectioners sugar with chocolate and caramel dipping sauces, I cried. Just one tear though. What's even better? We took them to go in our limo. SCORE!
We also shared the FOURTEEN layer chocolate cake with chocolate ganache frosting. It was rich, but it was delicious. Just 2 bites served me well.
If you want bang for your buck (prix fixe was $45 per person), ridiculously tasty food, great service (the chef came out to say hello before we even began to eat), and a very cool low key atmosphere, come to Society! You won't be disappointed.
