| - Heard great reviews about this place from a co-worker..its her and her husband's favorite place to dine in vegas so I thought I'd go check it out..she was right about how great this place was! Reasonable price for exceptional food..My boyfriend and I both got the pre-fixe (1 appetizer, entree and dessert). He ordered a belgium beer and I got a pineapple mojito (yum!)..some of the drinks at the bar were i think 50% off during happy hour times..also it was ladies night (wednesday) so my dinner was 50% off which you really can't go wrong with! The staff was very attentive as they asked if we had any allergies or any foods that we did not enjoy-which i thought was a thoughtful question.
Before we got our appetizers, the staff brought out an amuse bouche which looked like a small quiche..my bf got nervous that this was the size of the meals..silly boy haha..it was quite yummy! they also give you complimentary bread, a potato roll and a chocolate roll..both delicious-i prefered the chocolate roll, the potato roll was a bit too salty but was still great.
For my appetizer, i ordered the bbq shrimp and maytag coleslaw and my bf ordered the veal sweetbreads..i loved the shrimp, it was delicious..and usually i'm not a big fan of bbq sauce but this had a bit of tang to it which really complemented the blue cheese maytag coleslaw..my bf ordered the veal sweetbreads and I was not a fan of the taste or texture..he liked it so i guess at least one of us enjoyed it.
For the main entree, i ordered the rack of lamb and my bf had ordered the duck confit..we were both getting super full from the appetizers (pretty big portions) that i could only eat one piece of lamb..i really enjoyed it as it was on top of a bed of quinoa and veggies..my bf enjoyed his duck confit as well..
For dessert, i ordered the coconut bread pudding and my bf ordered the banana cheesecake..we were both so stuffed from the meals that we only had a few bites as it was also accompanied by 3 assortment of cookies..the desserts were okay, if i had the choice, i wouldn't of ordered the dessert again but hey, to each their own.
This restaurant was great, even though like everyone has said, its in such a random location quite far from the strip..The only reason I put a 4 out of 5 was because of dessert as well as it being quite far from the strip..it was about a $37 cab ride including tip which almost came out to a meal in it of itself..if it were closer or you have a car, i would definitely recommend it more. Overall, great service, good food, good experience!
