| - One of the best meals I have ever had hands down!
The lunch started off with out server explaining the menu and highlighting the different options taken from the show, Hells Kitchen.
Once we all decided to do the express lunch with wine pairing, everything stared flowing.
The first course, I chose the pumpkin soup at the suggestion of our server. It was paired with a light delicious wine. If you look at the pictures, the plate came without soup but was gorgeous and the server poured the hot soup into the bowl once we saw the presentation. Omgoshhhh did it taste delicious and the pepitas and sausage that was garnished, made the soup! I've never really had pumpkin soup but if it all tastes like that, sign me up for more.
The second course, Beef Wellington, to die for. If you watch the show you hear Gordon Ramsey yell about how he wants it cooked correctly, now I see why. The beef is wrapped in prosciutto them wrapped in pastry. That meat cut so easily and was so tender, it was amazing. The plate had potato purée and a few veggies and those were just as delicious with the demi-glacé. The wine pairing for this entree was delicious as well and I do not enjoy red wines.
The last course, the sticky toffee pudding, can I say holy crap? We were poured a glass of port wine to pair with this dessert and not a single person at the table was able to finish the desert. It was delicious and rich and everything I didn't think it would be. I really had no idea what toffee pudding would look or taste like that. Yumm!
All in all, the wine pairing was delicious and mixed well with the foods they suggested with it. The pours were not small in any way and the food was everything I expected and more.
Thumbs up to Hells Kitchen Las Vegas.
