| - There are almost no words to describe this meal!
My husband booked us a table for 2 to celebrate my birthday. We were greeted and seated at an elevated table just feet away from the floor-to-ceiling windows featuring a view of the strip and the valley. Our server greeted us by name, wished me a happy birthday, and presented us with the ever-so-chic wine list on iPad! After walking us through the selections we ordered the Vintage Krug which is so good it's shameful!
On to the menu - We had such a hard time ordering! Everything on the menu - including on the gluten free, vegan menu - looked amazing! We decided to each create our own experience by mixing items from the a la carte selection, the truffle tasting menu and the VG menu.
Bread service featured more three different styles of house-made offerings, including crisp sticks, along with a selection of various butters. My salad with fresh shaved baby coconut was gorgeous and beautifully presented. My husband's salad had a mix of dark, bitter leafy greens and softer lettuces. It was amazing!
Next, Risotto for me with truffles shaved table side. The aroma was like nothing I have experienced before. The server shaved them so thin that they practically melting into the dish - making every bite perfect! I wish I remembered what my husband had...All I remember were beets and black truffles. Oh, and a soup! One dish better than the next!
I ordered the lobster on a bed of leeks and mushrooms. Perfection! It was served with a small side soup made from the knuckle meat. One of the most beautifully crafted dishes I have ever had! The Husband ordered his standard meat. Only this came perfectly pink from top to bottom and seasoned so that it was lightly crusted and juicy.
In addition to the bite sized dessert, in addition to the coffee, in addition to what we ordered I was finally presented with an ice cream birthday cake decorated with edible flowers,
As for the price...I didn't see the check, but I do know that it was one of the most expensive meals that we have had together in the last 8 years, but very much worth it!
