While visiting Las Vegas with my pup, I had the good fortune of eating at Social House, where Joe Elevado, a friend of mine, is the executive chef. The vast restaurant is located in the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, that has been rebranded as The TI, a move that speaks to the younger generation and at the same time sounds so bad. Despite the size of the restaurant, it is st up in such a way as to be rather intimate, and certainly the service never lets on that you are in a restaurant with several hundred other diners. Just as impressive is that the food was consistently well plated, delicious and served without the dinner feeling that it had come off an assembly line, often a downfall of many larger restaurants.
Knowing the chef, we put our culinary experience in his hands, and had him prepare a tasting menu for each of us. We were most certainly not disappointed!
Our menu consisted of many items, among which were:
Needless to say we left feeling ver well satiated and had a wonderfule time.
- Yellowtail in soy with tempuraed jalapeno and micro cilantro
- Whitefish and octopus with soy sauce, micro cilantro, cilantro oil and chili oil
- Mini squid three ways: With miso and yellow mustard, With shiso, With ponzu
- Tuna tataki with microgreens, ginger, crunchy shallots and Yamo gobo
- Kobe beef tataki seared with chili and soy and diakon
- Kobe beef with sundried tomato, garlic oil, soy and calamansi
- Hokkaido scallop over miso eggplant with curry foam and micro cilantro
- Rock shrimp tempura with sweet sesame sauce and microgreens
- Tamarind braised boneless short rib with wild mushroom ragout and phyllo chips
- Ebi, toro, and hamachi
- Apple bread with walnuts, apple spaghetti yogurt sorbet and raspberry
- Banana confetti (Sliced bananas with a frozen banana confetti and cinammon oil
Needless to say we left feeling ver well satiated and had a wonderfule time.
