| - This was my first trip to Vegas...ever. I know, how can that be after 31 years of age and my love for everything naughty? Nevertheless, I wanted to have one memorable, fantastic dinner while there. After consulting with a few friends and reading fellow yelpers reviews we decided on Delmonico Steakhouse at the Venetian.
First, I was able to make our reservation online about two months in advance (same time I booked the trip). It was so easy I would definitely recommend it to ensure you will have a table ready and waiting for you. Second, because Mr. Vivi and I were killing it at the Blackjack table at the Mandalay...we were about 15 minutes late for our reservation. I apologized numerous times when we arrived, and to my relief our table was still ours and the host was super friendly and understanding. Note: I don't know if this would fly on a busy Fri or Sat night.
To say the service was excellent could be an understatement. We had our main server, I think his name was Eric (insert free drinks at the aforementioned Blackjack table so his name could have been Bob) and he couldn't be more helpful, polite and efficient. We also had two other people who were assisting Eric with the service who were great as well. Eric helped me pick out a glass of red wine that was delicious and didn't make me feel bad for not being the wine connoisseur everyone and their mom thinks they are. Our drinks were brought to us very quickly and we were off to the food.
I had been perusing the menu for awhile and thought we would go with a full four course meal however, I had no idea how fun the tables would be and didn't want too much food to deter my winnings after dinner. We opted to skip the appetizer (would have loved to have try the crab cakes or at least the Parmesan potato chips) and went straight to the Cesar salad served table side for two. If you love Cesar salad please do me a favor and run to this place. They freaking make the entire thing in front of you, dressing included. When Eric was finished with my plate I could have clapped I was so happy...in fact I think I did.
Next, we went for the petite medallions with a side of asparagus and a twice baked potato. Can I say I am in heaven?? This is why I could never be a vegetarian. The meat was cooked to absolute perfection. So tender it felt like butter in my mouth. The asparagus and twice baked potato were both good, but I would definitely try something different next time...there is just too much to chose from.
I knew in advance the bill was going to be somewhat expensive but seriously, it was worth every single penny. From start to finish the entire experience made me forget I left a table we were up 500 dollars. "Ah yeah babe," this place is that good and I will be back the next time I visit.
