I NEVER eat at the same restaurant on vacation but I did it...I did it all for Todd English.
Now the place isn't cheap. But it's convienietly located in the Bellagio so you can gamble, eat here, then go to a show...or go back to gambling.
It's a dimly lit restaurant with dark decor and very proper, nicely dressed servers.
We ended up getting 2 appetizers to share instead of getting an entree each. The special of the day was a sausage flatbread. It was so delicious. The spicy sausage and the gooey cheese on top of the buttery, crispy flatbread made me drool. It was so good that I went back the next day just to have it again!
We also got the kabobs. The chicken and the beef were both tender and so well seasoned. I hate biting into beef and having to gnaw my way through the thing but this was cooked perfectly.
The next night we got the the carpet baggers also. Delicious. Fried oysters on top of truffled mashed potatoes? We licked those oyster shells clean! I am still thinking about those to this day...
Not only were our appetizers quickly brought out but the bread basket they give you to start with is dangerous. The rolls in the basket are varied so you wanna try each one: rosemary loaf, white chocolate bread, and crispy bread to dip into their complimentary olive spread.
If you are looking for a quick place to dine, make it Olives. I'm a stuck up foodie but I have to say, this place was very impressive.
