5/8 Got in from Dallas, headed to MGM. PS at 50's Prime Time at 4:35, got there a few minutes early, they were telling walk ins they MIGHT be able to get them in at 9! Thank heaven for a PS! Boursin cheese and onion rings were excellent, DH almost got a fork in his hand going for my cheese! (Not that I'm selfish) Excellent chicken and pot roast, great potatoes. DH ate a banana split and I had the smores (with some help from our great server, sister Amy). Everything was wonderful!
5/9 Lunch at the Flame Tree BBQ in AK. Great smoked chicken salad, plenty of chicken mixed all the way through, not just tossed on top. Ribs were very tender. Dinner at Marrakesh, always one of our favorites. Didn't seem as good this time, maybe an off night. We did the preset meal, the soup and beef brewat rolls were great, as was the dessert, but the main entrees (chicken and beef) just weren't as good as I remember.
5/10 Lunch at Columbia Harbour House, love going upstairs and people watching. We had chicken and fish combos, fish was better than the chicken, but both were adequate for counter service. Dinner at Boma. Can't say enough good things, we had PS at 8, got there early and had drinks at Victoria Falls while we waited. Got a great window seat and tried a little of everything. I'm going to have to look for a recipe for the apple and jicama salad, we couldn't get enough of it!! The chefs were great, telling us to try different things and answering questions. Great wait staff as well! Very busy, but they kept everything well stocked. Just a great experience!
5/11 Earl of Sandwich for lunch. Not as impressed as I thought I'd be from other reviews. Okay sandwich, Le Frenchy, but nothing too exciting. DH had the Cobb salad and he really enjoyed it. Dinner at Chefs de France. Had the cheese plate as an appetizer. FYI, it is brie, port salut, gruyere and roquefort. You get no crackers or bread with it and I guess I'm not a big fan of chunks of cheese alone. I had the black pepper filet and it was very good, quite tender, good stuff! DH had the sole and didn't care for it. Said it was really mushy, maybe overcooked? Haven't had a lot of sole, so maybe that is how it cooks up though??
5/12 Sunshine Food Fair at the Land for lunch. Oh my god!! It was SO good!! Had the beef with flatbread, greens and tabbouleh. It was awesome! Tons of food! DH had salmon and mashed potatoes and raved about it. I snuck a bite and it was great!! Le Cellier for dinner, had an 8:50 PS and thank heavens, they were turning people away left and right! What can I say, it was excellent, DH had wasabi shrimp appetizer and surf and turf with the dessert sampler and WOULDN'T share! It was that good! I was busy with the cheese soup, filet and celebration cake. Luckily I didn't have to share either, it was fantastic! Great staff, we were the last people there and they didn't make us feel rushed or uncomfortable AT ALL.
Sorry so long! Hope it helps someone make meal decisions!!
