My reviews are coming all at once because I suddenly had one of those urges to.. yelp my days away :D I promise that my reviews will be a bit more consistent from here on out :)\n\nAnyways, I loved this place.  Although I've eaten at a lot of fine dining restaurants, I felt like I was a bit intimidated at Le Cirque by all its glory (yes, I gave it a 5), but I felt relaxed when I was at Ogden.  EVERYTHING about it was just.. perfect!  I sound like some blond cheerleader..\n\nNaturally, the decor in fine dining places at the Vegas strip is beautiful- pretty modern and never outdated.  Ogden's is no exception.  Surrounded by warm woods and soft lighting, it is a stark contrast from restaurants like the metal jungle Shibuya at MGM Grand and Barmasa at the Aria.\n\nMy family and close friends (party of 7), went there one night with reservations, and it was amazing.  The service was indefatigable, being able to put up with the demands of my mother, and even I could tell that she was a bit intimidated by the ambiance of the whole place.  The front of house serves traditionally- starting with the ladies going clockwise and then the men.  Serving dishes from the left, taking them from the right, everything was like clockwork.  Fancy, fancy...\n\nThe manager greeted us after the server took our drink order, which is always a warm touch to any dining experience.  The drink I got was recommended by the server- a sparkling chardonnay.  NO IT WAS NOT CHAMPAGNE, people keep telling me that, holy crap.. it's not.  It was amazing and totally out of this world.\n\nAside from the 5 choices of bread that kept me full, I got a caesar salad which was good- it didn't taste like Walmart salad, but it didn't dance in my mouth- I mean, what do you expect from a salad?\n\nThe main course I got was Alaskan halibut (Alaskan halibut, an endangered species at a restaurant whose chef seems like one of those green peace dudes?  yeah, shut up).\n\nI expected it to be bland because that's how halibut is naturally, but I was very surprised.  Slightly tangy, it was accompanied by some greens.  It wasn't filling, but are main courses in fine dining restaurants supposed to make you feel bloated?  Anyways, you can tell from the flavor and the pairings of the ingredients in the halibut that this came from a chef who was still a true gourmand chef at heart.. unlike some (ahem, Mr. Puck).\n\nThe menu is purely organic and constantly changes with each season.  When you eat in the summer, you won't see the same dish in the winter, nor will you see it in the summer the year after.  The diversity and evolving nature of this restaurant is the reason I gave it a 5-star.\n\nThe website tells you that it is traditional American, but I call it contemporary.  I don't see anything traditionally American in Atlantic diver scallops in .. coconut curry.\n\nA dinner for two there is very appropriate- they even have a bar nearby to bring your buddies to.  Don't bring your children or toddlers- you don't want to make the angelic waitstaff turn bitter on you, if it's possible.  Otherwise, it's amazing.
