The Chart House
I can barely write. All I can think about is boarding a plane, heading down to Fremont Street... all to visit the Chart House once more. (Well, maybe twice.)
Tucked away within the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, is one of the most incredible restaurants I have ever had the pleasure to dine in. The central focus of the dining area is a 75,000 gallon aquarium. The ambience is peaceful and tranquil, making for a more than pleasant dining experience.
Did I mention that the staff is wonderful? I am not sure if I have ever seen such a knowledgeable staff. Not only do they know the menu inside and out, but they never stray away from making personal suggestions. With just a few generalized questions, our server knew exactly which dishes to offer. When visiting a restaurant for the first time, this service is utterly invaluable. Everyone was so friendly. I saw the manager on several occasions, filtering about the room, assisting his staff, as well as conversating with the guests.
The menu offers a wonderful mix of seafood, as well as chicken and beef dishes. The calamari appetizer was wonderful... so wonderful that I needed reminding that there was a main course to save room for. With so many selections, I did finally decide upon the shrimp scampi, which was the best that I have honestly ever had. It was prepared perfectly in garlic white wine butter sauce! Not only was the food superb, but the presentation was very eye pleasing... truly a feast for the senses!
After such a lovely meal, one would think that dessert was out of the question, but not with the hot chocolate lava cake on the menu. Miraculously, I was able to savor each wonderful bite, as it quickly disappeared from my plate.
