| - The biggest part of dining here, is the actual experience you receive from the moment you walk in, to the last bite of dessert you have.
It seems like everything here is a feast for the eyes. From taking in the view of their waterfall-fountain scene, to their breath-taking and somewhat scary wine tower. Staff actually have to be on "rock-climbing" line and hook to retrieve your beloved bottle of wine.
I can say that only MOST of the staff were top notch. Our waiter was very helpful in all dinner decisions and was very attentive to all our needs. The host/cashier was very snobby and stuck-up, that's the last kind of service you want when you're spending $95 per person for dinner. They lost a star for that :( Sorry!
We had the 4 course Tasting Menu seated in the Swan Court. It was a spetacular view and very romantic lighting. ($95/per person)
Onto the food, we loved the presentations of all courses! Everything was served in the appropriate temperature and tasted superb! We even loved the choice of breads, my favorite was the caramelized onion bread! YUMMY!!! The waiter was even nice enough to pack some "to-go" for me.
For the starter plate, I had Lobster Egg Roll, Ahi Tuna, and some sort of Sweet Potato Puree. They were pleasing, but we definitely wanted more bites of it!
Second Course we had Scallops with Crusted Mushrooms and Lamb Lollipops with Pearl Potatoes. The Scallops were very sweet, in a good way and the Lamb had a little too much fat and au jus.
Third Course I had the Steak Three-Ways, Kobe Beef, New York Strip Steak (medium-rare), and Filet Mignon. My favorite was the New York steak which was served in a fantastic red wine reduction and complimented it very well. The scallion potatoes that they were on the bottom sucked up all the juices from the meats and was also very tasty!
Last but not least, the Fourth Course we had the dessert sample with Creme Brulee, Cheese Stuffed Fig, Almond and Grape Biscotti, Toasted Walnut Cake with Hazelnut Caramel, and of course, the house-made chocolates!!!!! They were all very sweet and we were glad it was in small portion/bites because of the large sugar intake :)
We loved our meal and experience here. We were basically swept off our feet in the most luscious, luxurious, and EXPENSIVE way possible, but it was worth it!
