This was a spot in the Caesar's hotel. The setup was similar to the show on television. It was dimly lit with excellent service. The menu had a number of options including some classics from the show along with other dishes too. It was more extensive than I thought coming in.
For an appetizer, the pan seared scallops ($29.99) were ordered. They came with a pea puree, braised bacon lardons, fennel, chicken jus, and micro arugula. There were three to an order and unfortunately, they were a little fishy and overcooked. The rest of the components of the dish were outstanding. The pea puree was very tasty. It was just a shame about the scallops.
For dinner, I went with the beef wellington ($71.99). It came with a potato puree, root vegetables, and a red wine demi-glace. This was very good. The cook on the beef was a perfect medium rare while the pastry was flaky and buttery. The potato puree was smooth and very tasty. The glace was a nice touch too. I also tried the Chilean sea bass that came with a tomato sofrito, watermelon radish, cilantro, and basil oil. The fish was perfectly cooked and the tomato sofrito was very tasty, a touch of heat too.
For dessert, the peanut and jelly tart ($13.99?) was ordered. It came with peanut butter mousse, chocolate pudding, raspberry jam, and chopped peanuts. This was very satisfying. The mousse was smooth as well as airy. The hint of the raspberry jam that was part of the mousse and tart really made the dish fulfilling. I wish there were a little more of the jam present. The tart itself was very light too.
Will I go back? Probably.
