Fantastic dinner. Service was excellent the entire evening as well. We ate with another couple. The men each got the porterhouse which comes with fried lobster mac n cheese. The ladies ordered scallops with short ribs and polenta. This may be the only time in history I consider a scallop dish better than a porterhouse. It's not that I don't like scallops, but I love steak. The porterhouses were on the thin side, and had a bit of char on them. I love a good sear, but this went beyond. It was like one side was left on the grill a bit too long. One nice thing in this day and age of a la carte, at Olives the entrees all come with sides. That was a nice surprise.
The scallops were unreal. Buttery, perfectly cooked. And, the accompaniments were spot on. A really good example of a dish coming together. I was jealous, but fortunately my wife shares, so I got to enjoy quite a bit.
As I said, the service was fantastic. As our server asked if we would like dessert, he informed us we could move to a table out on the patio and watch the fountains. Our guests are from out of town, so the fountains of Bellagio were a huge draw for them, and one of the reasons we picked Olives. So, very excited this was available. I had port, but the other 3 shared a warm cookie dessert with ice cream. I had a couple bites, the cookies were of excellent quality. It was an excellent end to a great evening. Recommended, and order an order of scallops for the table, even if no one gets them.
