| - My friends and I have developed a new system for our trips to Vegas. Instead of making a list of all the places where we can get drunk, we have lists of where we plan to grub.
First Food & Bar was definitely a place we wanted to try, especially since a friend of ours went ahead and tried the place and not only gave it a good review, sent tantalizing pictures.
First Food is located inside between the Palazo and the Venetian along the gondala canal. Right next to the Barney's New York store on the second level of the Palazo.
Our party of 4 got seated in a booth along the window facing the strip and the big Palazo marquee. The view was great and definitely added to the ambiance of restaurant. Since it was a Sunday night, we didn't indulge in any cocktails. Our friend (the junky one that went here before the rest of us) did mention the cotton candy cocktail, which is backed up by many yelpers here.
My friend and I were ready to have a realy grub moment so we each got an appetizer. I went with the yelpers choice of "Mojito Lamb Chops" and my friend went with the huge bacon wrapped shrimp.
The lamp chops are flambeed table side when they serve it, so there definitely is a "wow" factor. I did a pieced of the lamb chop back into the sauce after it was served and wow...it most definitely has 151 in it!
The bacon wrapped shrimp was perfect and if I do say so myself, LA can use some bacon wrapped shrimp carts next to the hot dog ones outside of clubs and sporting events!
For the main course I got the Shrimp Diablo, and my friends got Cubano sandwich, and the Trout respectively. The shrimp diablo was served with eggplant which make my mouth absolutely happy! The heat from the sauce was a perfect blend of spice but not too hot that you would need a pitcher of water to calm our burnt taste buds.
My friends were pretty happy with their choices..but I think it was dessert that pushed us over the edge.
I decided to do a throw back to my childhood and ordered the push pop (yes just like the ones with the flintstone characters on it), while my friends went with the molten chocolate cake, and the s'mores,
The push pop was, well a push pop. It was a very tangy sorbet that really cleansed my palate after eating very savory food. The molten cake was pure chocolate goodness. The s'mores on the other hand...just fucking amazing. The graham crackers on the bottom could have been a little more moist, but ugh..the whole thing was just too amazing. The toasted marshmallows on top..just made my mouth happy!
Overall I would give this place a 3.5 but with a photobooth located inside it's bumped up to a 4. We had two different servers help us and they were absolutely great. One of them didn't really know all the components of a dish and rather than bullshit us he went and asked - awesome! Definitely stop by if you are in Vegas and looking for some good eats before doing whatever it is you do in Vegas :)
