Stayed at the Rio with a group of girls, just for a fun weekend. We were heading up to the Voodoo Lounge for dancing so decided to do dinner at the hotel. The five of us split everything and were completely satisfied.
Starter: Coconut shrimp - they were huge and very good. Caesar Salad - was good size to share for an appetizer and the dressing was good, not to thick to overwhelming.
1 Dinner Plate: Seared Ahi - it was a good piece, very tender. Would have been better had we gotten it blackened. Sides were both good - macaroni & cheese and fried zucchini.
2 Dinner Plate: Grilled Chilean Sea bass - this is one of my favorites and it was to-die-for! The miso glaze was perfect and the fish melted it your mouth. I could it again right now. Sides - mashed potatoes were great, but the green beans were blah.
3 Dinner Plate: Angel Hair with tomato/basil marinara. This was a simple but good dish. Pasta was a little over cooked for me (I'm Italian so I;m very picky). Portion was big.
The provided bread when we sat down, one of which had cheese and bacon inside which did not go over well with the vegetarian at the table who bit into it not knowing. They should not serve rolls with meat in them, unless they warn you. We also ordered a bottle of white wine which came out warm, not sure if that is their standard temp for all wine or we just got a warm bottle but it was not my preference.
Total experience was great and would definitely go back if i stay at the Rio again.
