| - Had reservations, wch were sorely needed this busy night. Who'd have guessed vegas is in a recession with a packed parking lot, overflow seating waiting for tables in the lobby spilled onto the entrance outside. fortunately, we were seated immediately. i chose the filet mignon trio pre fixe $50. my dining partner opted for the bone in ribeye with a caesar salad. my dining experience began with a caprese salad, with thick slices of mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes, almost but not quite as good as the same served at speidini (one of my faves), main course was a trio of petit filets with 3 different sauces, wellington, oscar and au poivre. i loved the bearnaise sauce served in a well beneath the medium rare cooked meat. that was my favorite. yummy! could only take a bite of each, so filling. not in the mood for wine, so had one martini with bluecheese stuffed olives to start out the night. my date didn't eat much but said his food was delicious. so i guess i ate for two that night. dessert was a trio of differently prepared creme brulees, but by that time i was stuffed so as a joke, i asked the waiter how he could possibly get my baked goodness to go. lo and behold, he came back moments later with little to-go ramekins complete with my desserts intact. all in all, date was a little ?yawn sigh? But, truthfully, the food was very filling. and i had loads of creme brulee to satisfy my sweet tooth the next day. and the day after.
