| - What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas... but not this one, dinner at Crush was too good not to share. After much looking around deciding what to have for dinner, scoping the buffet spread and looking to see where we stand if whether we'll suck it up and wait in the seemingly endless buffet line--- we decided buffet is off the table for the night not only the selections were minimal and mediocre but nothing really baited us to make us endure the line.
Located inside the MGM, Crush MGM feels like a chill modern contemporary American bistro, the ambience is cool and chill, it has a classy vibe but not uptight, Our server couldn't have been more delightful (Thanks Natalie) the starters and the main dish -satisfyingly good.
For starters we had an order of Cheese Steak Dumplings (4) and a basket of Crispy Shrimp, The dumplings were delicious, the steak inside these little buns were beautifully seasoned, drizzled it with the fondue on the side and you got yourself a delish bite size starter. The Crispy Shrimp is okay, it really needs the lemon aioli served on the side as it helps adding a different layer of flavor to this otherwise plain fried goodies.
For the main course, I opted for the Charred NY Sirloin - Medium Rare, the steak had a good char but kept the delicious juices of this cut, perfectly done, deliciously seasoned, I love how the vegetables served with this dish was prepared, truffle port reduction which made the mushroom taste really good! My brother had the bbq baby back which he demolished with the help of our bros! (It's a very generous serving) my friends had the Shrimp risotto and the chicken fettuccine which by way of judging ones plate, they also enjoyed! Hahaha
With such delicious selections a good bottle of wine is in order! After reviewing their vast selection of reds, I decided to go for the Louis Latour Pinot Noir --- this wine is so forgiving and complimentary it's shame to waste a single drop- it was a hit!
We had a great time at Crush, good food, amazing service, cool place and great wines!
Highly recommended.
