| - First, can we just talk about the view??? I mean oh my stars!! The dining room is surrounded on 3 sides by windows that view the Bellagio Fountain perfectly! We dined on NYE so the water shows were going off, what seemed like, every 15 minutes! That in and of itself made for an amazing experience.
Since we came for New Year's Eve, there was a preset 4-course meal (see picture). I usually don't like to eat at places this fancy - 1)not enough food 2)I have a bland palate and don't like froo froo things to eat. But this meal? A-MAZING!
We had reservations for 8:30pm, but were seated a bit later than that. No biggie. The host took us back behind the check-in desk and that's when I saw it...THE VIEW.
The wait staff was impeccable, very attentive to our needs, new silverware needed, refill water, etc. I guess if there's one thing great about expensive, fancy restaurants, you really do pay for what you get!
The meal was amazing, you can view the pictures for a "taste" but I wish you all could have tasted it. I think my favorite dish, though, was the soup that was brought out in a fresh young coconut. Best part for me? I scraped the coconut meat out of it and ate it...mmmmm mmmm goodness!
Downside: There was a photographer going around to each table taking optional photos for everyone, which were to be ready for viewing before the end of our dining experience. We actually waited and waited after the check was already paid for her to return with our photos (that she had just told us 15 minutes prior that she was going to do). But instead, we observed her still taking photos at other tables so as not to miss the NYE festivities on the strip, we said "forget it" and left. I really wish I could've seen those pictures, though...
This was a special occasion so I don't know if this review might be a bit biased. I'll have to try it again on a "normal" dining day for the real experience! Well...if I have enough money, that is ;) Pretty pricey, this one!
