text: Had a lovely dinner here on a recent trip to Vegas sad to say the restaurant was only full much like the entire city it seemed But all in all a good experiencennService was friendly efficient and altogether nonobtrusive although ultimately was the because of my deducting a starI will get to that in a minute Started with a well poured martini and the frisee salad delicate frisee with sizable chunks of warm smoky bacon bleu cheese and a warm champagne vinegarette It was a nice start to the meal accompanied by warm fresh rolls that could have come from my grandmothers oven DeliciousnnOrdered a bottle of Mollydooker and had the bone in ribeye cooked medium rare ordered it on the rarer side of medium rare and it was cooked perfectly Came out sizzling on its own small platter with a roasted shallot and was seasoned to perfection just enough salt pepper and I believe thyme Also ordered the side order of mushrooms hen of the woods shitake and another that I am failing to remember enoki perhaps and the potato leek gratin sinfully delicious My coworker ordered the shortribs and really really made me wish I had although my steak was delicious the shortribs were some of the best I would tastednnWe finished sharing a delicate chocolate souffle with warm perfect caramel sauce and ice cream Yum Not usually a dessert person but it was really really good nnWhile not among the best meals of my life this would be a very solid choice if your carnivorous cravings strike while in Vegas nnSo why just AOK WellI know that times are a little tough in Sin City right now but MGM has heavily advertised their winter tasting menus at all the restaurants Thus while I was happy with my meal what I really wanted was the tasting menu At an advertised pp and wine pairing I was really looking forward to it nnHowever when I asked our server about it he said he would never heard of it and that the only tasting menus available were the kobe beef menus part of the standard menu from pp pp before wine Not the case as it turns out That menu WAS availalble So deducting a star for what I can only assume was either total stupidity or a deliberate gouge turning my pp dinner into pp Either way a star deducted
