The atmosphere is incredibly pleasant... even though we were right in the middle of hotel check-in, near a bar, and in a very busy part of The Mirage - I never felt like I was in anything less than an upscale restaurant. The service was incredible. Our server approached our table and greeted us by name (reservations and all) and offered a drink selection. He recommended the drink special of the day - I wish I could remember what was in it because it was so incredibly light and refreshing. There was champagne, a splash of sparkling water... and... meh, whatever - it was GOOD. Everyone at the table shared an order of the shrimp appetizer - shrimp they were not! These puppies were massive and delicious. Crispy, spicy, and yummy. I couldn't get over how tasty the sauce was... and how big the shrimp were. Our meals were served soon after... I had the veal chop with a side order of asparagus. I was in love. It melted in my mouth. One of the men at my table ordered the sea bass - but asked if they could make a lemon butter caper sauce (not on the menu) and it was not a problem. He was in heaven with his dinner. I loved that no matter what we wanted (within reason, I'm sure) the waiter (and chef) were happy to accommodate... special request sauces, special request sides... done and done. And all amazingly well. We finished the meal off with a dessert sampler - I can't give a first hand review, but just watching the reactions of everyone else was a clue as to how incredible the dessert was. There was not one thing I could complain about... in fact, for whatever reason - I dropped my fork on three different occasion. Three. The first time was a near miss several times... but as soon as it finally made its dive onto the carpet, our underling server/water boy/bread basket guy was right behind me with a fresh one. Apparently he continued to keep an eye on my fork blunders because each time I managed to lose it, he was right there with a new one. Very nice."^^ . "4"^^ . "2011-12-05T00:00:00"^^ . . . .
