Welcome

I grew up around a family absolutely in love with food and everything related to it. The atmosphere that it creates, the appreciation for food, the family bonding, the creation of food, the memories it engraves in all of our hearts.

This blog is about sweet indulgence of life!

In this blog you will find reviews... mainly photo reviews of places and restaurants that I`ve stumbled upon and have come to love.

About my postings: Until I am up to date ... my postings will not be chronological and please note do not assume I had all the food in one sitting.. though at times it will be, as I return to each place of interest I will add pictures as well.

I hope you enjoy my findings and eventually try them too!

Picasso

Location: Bellagio, Las Vegas
Website: http://www.bellagio.com/restaurants/picasso.aspx
________________________________________________________________
What I loved:
1. The scallop was cooked to perfection! The juices were sealed in yet the crusty seared top and bottom provided a nice texture.
2. For fois gras lovers... this was done very well, the juice just burst in your mouth!
3.Wine pairing was worth every drop! It accentuated the flavours of each course!

Interesting Bit:
 All paintings hanging in the restaurant are original Picasso Paintings. The restaurant is also behind the Bellagio fountains so if you sit by the window you get a fountain show during your dinner as well!

NOTE: They have a few set menus you can choose from the link below will send you to the menu we chose which was $128 per person:

Wine Pairing was for an additional price of $68 per person, if you have a passion for wine or an aspiring wine connoisseur their sommeliers are knowledgable, friendly and very eager to give you interesting  information of the windery of each pairing which augments the whole dining expierience.

 Complimentary: Potatoe leek soup (left), smoked salmon with caviar and quail egg with minced green onion (right)
 Talk about branding...this is your butter for your bread
 First Course: Maine Lobster Salad
 Second Course: Pan Seared U-10 Day Boat Scallop
Third Course: Sautéed Steak of "A" Foie Gras
Main Course: Sautéed Filet of Halibut
Main Course: Kobe Filet Mignon
Note: If you order this there is a surcharge of $40.00

Side vegtables with the Kobe Filet Mignon

 And when you thought you could not possibly eat anything else...
