| - I had dinner here with my company while in town for an industry convention; it's inside the beautifully landscaped Wynn and the restaurant is just as gorgeous. The ambience is warm and inviting yet modern: rich dark walls, chocolate lampshades with white bark stems, steel,quartz, and wood wall art, buttery red chairs and cushy white leather booths, the works. There is music and conversation so it was perect for our group to socialize. Our waiter was prompt, attentive, and courteous. He explained entrees ingredients and preparation with expertise. We got two big baskets of bread-a few different varieties and an olive oil/pesto dipping sauce. Our client is a big wine buff so we had a few red selections for the table which were all very smooth. For appetizers we had the goat cheese salad, calamari, shrimp, and mussels. My main dish was the porkchop-a cut that was described as the Kobe Beef of Porkchops. It was accompanied with spinach and grain type side. To complete the meal I had a latte with a sugar rock stirrer and the cappucino dessert. One word describes the meal and experience: perfection. The portions were just right; ingredients and sauces created the perfect combo of flavors and textures. The porkchop was thick, juicy, and impeccably cooked. I especially loved the salad-it had truffles and goat cheese with arugula it really packed a lot of flavor. My colleagues had sorbet/gelato for dessert and it came in a clear acrylic carrier with 3 flavors in mini ice cream cones. So chic and nostalgic! I had a taste of the short rib-it melts in your mouth but it is extremely rich-not for the dieting or sensitive stomach types. We enjoyed the meal and great conversation which this place is conducive of. Service was first class. Eating at new restaurants like these are one of the great rewards at the end of a busy day at work! I'd definitely recommend Corsa; next time I'd like to try the lobster ziti-sounded so delish but I couldn't pass up the kobe of pork!
