My wife and I ate there once and we were not impressed. Also when we went to pay the bill, I said I wanted to use my resort comps and charge it to my room. We were told MGM's system was down and they would only accept cash or credit. I was not happy at all. I spoke to the manager and asked him why they didn't have a sign up, or why my waiter didn't tell us before we placed our order. We ended up getting 50% off, but we were leaving the next day and lost a lot of resort credit.

Overpriced and mediocre food at best. Not against paying higher prices for a fancy meal, but the plating and taste of the food should be exceptional. Many local Chinese restaurants would put this place to shame in quality and moderate prices. Use the leftover money saved by eating somewhere else and have another dinner the next day. Great video and honest review!

Great review. I am a foodie and I have no qualms about spending $75 or $100 or even $125 for a meal in a fine restaurant ... but $500 ? No way! The oysters are described as tasting "fishy." Oysters are NOT supposed to taste "fishy" - they have a slightly sweet and nutty flavor and the degree of brininess depends on the origin.

I personally don't need attentive waiter/waitress as I eat fast & hearty. wife don't like me go dim sum because I order 5 Hargrow's/5 sui mai & 5 others just to keep me from complaining to my wife I'm still hungry. last time in Brooklyn 65thst the check was like $95.00 before tax/tip w/ all that & more. but if anyone has the cash & don't mind going thru the experience that's totally find.

White asparagus is called “spargel” and grown in the Heidelberg and Schwetzingen region of Germany. The German farmers in the area cultivate the vegetable and grow them enormous and consider them a delicacy. They even have a festival in honor of the tasty ‘white gold’. We lived in Germany for 7 years. However the spargel they served you looked like a small weak imitation of the original.

Hi Danny! I mostly agree with you. I’m not into pretentious restaurants unless they are off the chart great. Then maybe you can justify the cost. I was thinking and glad you said it was a party of five. As a comparison what if the five of you went to The Bacchanal Buffet? It wouldn’t really be much less if at all. I didn’t see alcohol on the bill but there were bottled waters. Also thank you for your service and contributing your military discount! ❤️ I could argue a sit down experience in a fine restaurant bests a buffet, even B. If the food was average then that’s the real issue. Everything costs so much now. I want to recommend a place much more suited for the common man. My main question is do you like birria? If you do I went to a place, a small mom & pop type establishment on Maryland Parkway. I got a recommendation and trusted their opinion and went. Well it was one of the best of its type I’ve ever had before or since. There can be cheese so eater beware, ask for not with. They have the beef and goat varieties and I’m not a huge goat fan but oh my! It was the GOAT. I’ll leave it up to you for transit options, it’s on a main road. The place is called Los Arcos Birrieria at 2201 S. Maryland Pky. I can’t wait for my next trip to go back there. If you go, enjoy! Great video Danny! Joe

@@dannythemedic Bacchanal does their version. It’s those grilled tacos on the big round grill that rotates. They stuff them and dip them in the consumé put in shredded cheese then grill it on that flat rotating grill thing. If you like Mexican food it’s great. If you don’t then maybe not. Not super spicy more an intense flavor. You can add spicy peppers and salsa to increase the heat, usually on the side.

Most of the restrauants have LOUD MUSIC ...no it is a LOUD RACKET playing. We sit down at a table to order food, but the racket is so loud the we repeat our order maybe 3 or 4 times. While waiting for our food we try to talk to each other....but it is almost impossible . We end up shouting. I have asked to have the racket turned down, but the response is "do not have the control of the speakers. It has been so bad that lately we get Take out....and bring it home. Could you find out for me Why so much noise is playing in most places? Is this suppose to be "Dinner music"? I wear hearing aids...and by the time we leave I end up with a very bad headache. We have decided not to eat out anymore....just take out. Thank you for your opinions...we watch every Tuesday & Friday.

as you can see in my videos, I eat out alot. I only find LOUD music in a minority of places I go to. Half the time I ask them to turn it down, they are able to do it. The other half, I switch to a different microphone to minimize the music in the videos. As for WHY they do it, that is something you gonna have to find out yourself because you went to those places you went to, just call them up, speak to the managers and you will have your answers.
