| - A romantic dinner for two in Vegas. Cozy, warm and elegant settings set up a fantastic first impression of an exquisite high-end meal to come.
Starters:
Glasses of Red wine
Bread basket: a variety (4 or 5) different types to choose from. Breadsticks, Focaccia, pretzel bread, and more.
Hot Gougères - addicting warm gruyere cheese puff pastries. We wanted more but thought it would be wise to save our stomachs for the rest of the dinner.
Austrian Oxtail Bouillon - with chive blossoms, chervil, and bone marrow dumplings - delicious dumplings with tender oxtail, just enough to stimulate the gastric juices for a hearty steak.
Main Entree':
20 oz Bone In Rib Eye Steak - aged 21 days and IL corn fed beef. This steak's grilled over hard wood and charcoal then finished over a 1200 degree broiler. This giant slab of rich, but "uneven" marbled rib chop with a thin layer of char and sear - juicy but not as tender (medium rare). An above average steak but not blown away. American Waygu or the True Japanese 100% Waygu Beef may have been a better choice, albeit at double the price.
Side Items:
Cavatappi Pasta Mac n' Cheese - as the server approached our table, he stumbled and DUMPED the mac n cheese all over the table, splattering bits and pieces of the hot plate on my suit and her dress. The manager apologized and proceeded to clean up the mess and scolded the server*. The second serving came 10 minutes later, piping hot. A great side item to have minus wearing it as part of the attire.
Cream Spinach with Fried Organic Egg - Creamy but not much different from other restaurants. Not certain the egg really added that wow factor.
Dessert:
Apple Stuffed Pumpkin Doughnuts with Maple Whipped Cream and Pumpkin Gelato- before ordering dessert, we asked if these doughnuts were dense or more airy like a beignet. The server hesitated and said "yes, they are light and fluffy like a beignet". WRONG! these were very dense and heavy. Bad information and though tasty, it definitely not what we wanted. Our feedback to him about misinformation didn't go far.
At the end, they comped the dessert for poor server performance. They didn't do anything for an impending dry cleaning bill though. No second visit planned for the future.
_____________________________
*Not clear if he was the manager but we did overhear him burn the server in the kitchen, "you f&#$%n idiot!". I expected to be comped more than just a measly dessert but alas a $180+ meal would be too much for them to bear?
