| - Came here for dinner on Monday evening around 5:45 PM for a reservation for 10 people. We were seated in a private room, which was very nice because my cousin knows a few of the people who works there.
They have a salad bar up front so you can pick and choose what you want from there once you place your order at the table. I went and got some olives and sliced cucumbers so I looked like I had some kind of vegetables on my plate. Although, I did sprinkle bacon all over my veggies, so I'm not sure if they would still be considered as veggies by that time.
For starters, I ordered the crab cakes because I enjoyed the ones we had at Grand Lux Cafe so much, but we came to find out that it wasn't even close in comparison so we were pretty disappointed.
I ordered the queen's prime rib which is a 12oz, instead of the king which is a 16oz steak. I asked to have my steak cooked medium rare, which it was. The prime rib was well prepared and tasted much better compared to the crab cakes.
Auntie Bev had the 6 piece oysters on half shell as her appetizer and an order of oyster rockefeller as her entree. I am not an oyster fan so I told her I didn't want to try them. She said she preferred the raw ones over the rockefeller because the rockefeller ones weren't too tasty.
Auntie Ann ordered the escargots as her appetizer. I tried a piece and it was quite salty. Although, I've never had it anywhere else before so I don't have anything to compare it with. She had the crab legs as her dinner and she seemed to kind of enjoy it, but I had too much to eat already so I told her I wouldn't have any. Everyone else seemed ok with their meals, I guess.
We decided to order the creme brûlée for dessert. Auntie Ann finished one to herself, while Auntie Bev and I shared one. I guess we were all in the creme brûlée mood this trip. Their creme brûlée was probably the best thing from our meal.
Honestly, since Vegas offers so many choices when it comes to fine dining, I wouldn't make my way out here for the food.
