| - Since I'm Yelping everything else I went to in Vegas, why not include Sinatra?
We went last night. They had a nice table for us for two right by the window. Nice. Waiter was friendly and answered any and all questions.
The starter salads were amazing. I had a hearts of romaine salad with gorgonzola, walnuts and grapes. The dressing of olive oil and vinegar was perfect, not too strong and not too light. One of the better salads I've had.
Since I've been eating a lot of cow in Vegas I decided on something different here. I had the Lobster Risotto. It was very very good. Normally risotto is topped off with a few bits of lobster (if it's Lobster Risotto obviously). Not here. I had a full half of a lobster with both claws on the risotto. Mixed into the lemony, creamy, peppery risotto with peas it was divine. Add in a nice white wine (a chardonnay if you must know) and it was a stellar meal.
I was a bit surprised, honestly, because based on the other reviews I thought it might just be another overpriced Vegas restaurant. From my experience though, and I have had more than a few world class meals, this is an excellent dining experience that should satisfy the pickiest of diners.
Apparently Steve Wynn was buddies with Old Blue Eyes, hence the name of the place. That's a nice tribute and it makes your dining that much more enjoyable if you're a Frank fan (which frankly I'm not but can appreciate the tunes). Enjoy. Oh, one last thing - take out that second mortgage before coming here, it will come in handy. That is also true for most other restaurants in popular places in Vegas though, so no direct criticism here - it would be nice if restaurants lowered prices somewhat to meet the bleakness of the economy but most must still be getting the prices they're asking for, so pony up or go to In-N-Out instead.
