We
were
attending
the
Still
Raining
concert
in
the
MGM
Grand
Arena
on
Nov.
25
and
booked
a
table
at
this
restaurant
at
5:30pm,
2.5
hours
before
the
concert
start
time.
We
were
seated
at
the
very
back
of
the
restaurant,
which
was
fine
with
us
as
we
had
a
view
of
L’
Atelier
De
Joel
Robuchon
(a
restaurant
I
want
to
try
in
the
future).
Wary
of
my
wine
ordering
experience
the
night
before
(see
my
review
of
Piero’s
Italian),
I
gave
Josh,
our
waiter,
the
names
of
two
bottles
of
wine.
They
had
a
bottle
of
2015
Chateau
de
Valois
from
Pomerol,
somewhat
overpriced
but
it
was
very
good:
a
very
smooth,
mainly
Merlot
wine,
full
of
fruit
and
hints
of
spice.
We
shared
the
Crisp
Pork
Belly
appetizer.
This
was
perfectly
prepared
and
dressed
with
a
sweet
chili
glaze,
cucumbers,
scallions
and
sesame
seeds;
the
best
dish
of
the
night
(to
me).
Our
entrees
were
the
Roasted
Half
Jidori
Chicken,
served
over
a
bed
of
Yukon
Gold
Potato
Puree
and
a
rosemary-garlic
jus
and
two
pizzas:
the
Margherita
and
Wolfgang’s
signature,
Classic
Smoked
Salmon,
with
a
dill
crème
fraiche,
red
onion,
chives
and
dollops
of
Kaluga
caviar.
We
had
an
issue
with
the
pizzas;
the
Margherita
came
to
our
table
cold
…
my
salmon
pizza
was
barely
lukewarm.
I
can
understand
that
of
the
salmon
pizza,
due
to
the
use
of
crème
fraiche,
smoked
salmon
and
caviar
but
there’s
no
excuse
for
a
cold
Margherita.
Was
it
a
delay
by
our
waiter
or
was
it
due
to
the
distance
from
the
kitchen
to
our
table?
Whatever
the
case,
we
had
to
send
the
Margherita
back.
We
shared
the
pizzas
because
they
were
more
than
any
of
us
could
consume
solo.
The
Margherita
was
okay,
and
the
salmon
pizza
was
somewhat
salty.
I’ve
had
this
pizza
almost
every
time
I’ve
dined
at
Wolfgang
so
I’m
very
familiar
with
the
dish.
This
one
wasn’t
their
best;
disappointing
because
(I
believe)
it
cost
$85.
We
finished
by
sharing
a
chocolate
souffle.
It
was
served
with
tiny
dishes
of
vanilla
ice
cream
and
whipped
crème
fraiche.
This,
and
the
crisp
pork
belly
were
the
standout
dishes.
Final
thoughts?
I
always
like
dining
at
Wolfgang
because
I
can
count
on
getting
a
great
meal.
Service
from
Josh
was
great,
and
we
had
a
perfect
table.
However,
the
entrees
were
somewhat
disappointing,
so
just
4
stars,
barely.
