| - This restaurant, and it's food, are NOT tired. They're AMAZING!!!!
We came here after our wedding and before the Love show on the recommendation of my sister who had a wonderful meal here last year.
We made reservations for 7:30 and were sat pretty much immediately. The ambiance was lovely - low lighting and we could hear the waterfall, lots of plants. Our waiter came over and gave us the menus and then disappeared for a little longer than he should have. When he came back, we ordered a magnum of the Moet & Chandon champagne ($145). They didn't have it in stock, but were able to get it from another restaurant in the hotel, which I thought was great of them to do that.
The bread came and was SO good. There were these little rolls with this sweet salt on top that were just delicious. They also had these pretzel rolls that were so good.
I started with the lobster bisque, which was AMAZING. The puff pastry top was thick and tender. The soup was light, yet super flavorful and the lobster was tender and delicious. I was REALLY happy with this bisque.
For entrees, I ordered the scottish salmon ($34) with bernaise sauce and my husband ordered the chilean sea bass ($41) (with the pineapple/red pepper salsa at the waiter's suggestion). Our sides were the broccoli & cauliflower gratin with brie cheese and the lobster mashed potatoes. Our food came and I poured the bernaise over my salmon, took a bite and realized the sauce was barely room temp. Not thrilled. I asked them to warm it up, but it came back exactly the same temp, so I just wrote it off. My salmon was very typical, nothing special at all. BUT...my husband's sea bass was SOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the most delicious food I've had in my entire life. The pineapple and red pepper salsa was so perfect with the fish, I couldn't believe it. I wish I'd ordered that myself. The broccoli & cauliflower gratin was just okay. It came with a big piece of cold brie on top, which I thought was a little weird. However, the lobster mashed potatoes ($20) were the 2nd most delicious bite I've had in my life. They came with bacon lardons, scallions and creme fraiche. AMAZING. So delicious. We couldn't get enough.
They brought us out this vanilla bean cheesecake thing for dessert to celebrate our wedding, which was nice. It was very good and I loved the crust.
Overall, I think the best food I've had to date. Bravo Kokomo's!
