Wow! What an extraordinary meal we had here. Morimoto has long been our favorite iron chef and we took advantage of a trip to Los Vegas to dinner at his eponimously named restaurant. Since we wanted to have a real sampling of his artistry we opted for the tasting menu. Each of the six courses was exquisitely prepared. The attention to detail was remarkable, and of course the fish was fresh and perfect.
To add to the fun, Morimoto himself was on site watching over things. He came over to our table and greeted us and then came over to offer the chance for a photo with him. I mentioned to him the he was our favorite Iron Chef and he responded, "Mine too!"
We had his family toro, a beef carpacio, his Japanese interpretation of the Italian did bagna cauda, wonderful sushi, a wagu beef and lobster sure and turf, and his famous flaming chocolate ball.
Add a couple of specialty cocktails and some saki and we had a great meal. Not for timid eaters or tightwads, but for a foodie a fabulous experience.
