Las Vegas

All I intended to say about our second stop was "Las Vegas, HOT". Then we dined at David Burke’s at the Venetian. This was the best combination of food, service and presentation we have experienced in years. There are no pictures so visualize a room primarily in red with Humpty Dumpty’s scattered about. Hang in there, this is not a foolishness. The servers and busboys have real personalities, not the cloying kind, the conversational but unintrusive kind.

And the food. Starting with a Crunchy and Angry lobster that was mmm (mouth too busy for words). Then it was a contest between Jerry’s sesame crusted white tuna and the salmon on a artichoke/carrot reduction stew with spinach gnocchi. My mouth waters at the memory. Though the dessert menu added great temptation, we were virtuous. Then the waiter brought out a brandy sniffer overflowing with cotton candy. Now I don’t like cotton candy though Jerry does. To limit his consumption, I sacrificed and ate more than my share.

This post may be a tease but for anyone headed for Vegas, we cannot recommend the restaurant too strongly.
