Chef's Tasting Wine Dinner @ FF

[OhThePain]

My girlfriend and I just booked this for our upcoming trip. Flying Fish is currently our favorite restaurant on property, so this seemed like a no-brainer this time. Has anyone done this recently to shed some light on the types of dishes served? How was the experience? Feel free to add in anything else.

Just going to give this a little bump.

I have never heard of this and am completely interested in hearing more.

WOW! Thanks for posting the question, OP - and thanks for the response, redwitch!
Sounds to die for.
Never heard of this option before, but will definitely check it out now.

how much is this?

For my girlfriend and I the cost came to $314 and change for both of us ($157 each) including tax and gratuity. The price in October is slightly more than the price now. The few pictures I have tracked down and few reviews I have been able to find make it seem like the cost is a bargain.

Redwitch, your most recent menu looks fantastic. Enjoy it again later this month (unless you already went, in which case do share )!
