Me & Chef c_e_rodriguez
Special thanks to Chef Rodriguez for his gracious hosptality and most wonderful meal. @Vic_n_Anthonys steakhouse located in downtown #Vegas' newly renovated Gold tower at the @GoldenNuggetLV Hotel & Casino
We had a reservation for 7pm and were seated immediately. The dining room was very elegant with beautiful stained glass ceiling, formal settings with low mood lighting.
The waiter came out promptly introducing himself and welcoming us with a full description of the evenings menu and specials that were currently being offered. The evenings specials were the Lobster live from the tanks and Kobe steak heated to liking on a hot salt tablet prepared tableside VERY COOL!!
We ordered drinks a couple apps and a steak dinner and a couple desserts.
The apps came out quickly-a crab cake like NO other. light and crispy full of crab covered in crab with a sauce I'm not sophisticated enough to describe but the fact I DO NOT eat seafood and I licked the plate clean here says it ALL!! WOW!!
The other appetizer Maple Glazed Quail was alot like chicken drumettes but lighter tastier with a wonderful combination of greens+tomatoes with another indesribeable sauce:) YUM
What a way to get started!!! We could hardly wait to try the steak. 16oz prime strip cooked medium-rare:) and of course a baked potato loaded with butter&sour cream!! Thats me Mr Meat & Potatoes;)
BEST STEAK EVER!!! I have only been to a handful of places that even offer steaks costing more than $20 so I have limited experience here but this was by far and away the best steak I have EVER had. Melt in your mouth delicious!! Oh and the potato wasn't bad either lol :)
After this amazing meal -Chef Rodriguez came out to thank us for coming in and then we talked about his visits to some of the #Vegas restaurants he had visited during his stay concluding there's so much to discover and it's such a fun and tasty adventure.
To our surprise the Chef presented us dessert--Cheesecake with blueberries and sauce and croissant bread pudding w/ice cream and lots of lil extras that just took it over the TOP:)
The desserts were GREAT but after taking home the bread pudding and trying it the NEXT day it seemed even BETTER
What a wonderful dining experience-pleasant atmosphere, truly fantastic personal service, and the food was to die for. I would recommend it to EVERYONE and if you are on Death Row(Texas reference) and have to select your LAST MEAl-If you wanna feel that feeling like you've REALLY lived now-ORDER it from Vic & Anthony's!!
