With my schedule this month, I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to see the Bellagio decked out for the holidays, but I did get the opportunity to go and I am so happy. It was unbelievably beautiful and it truly got me in the Christmas mood! The colors, lights and magic of it all was visually stunning and I hope I captured that in the photos.

The stroll through the conservatory was on the way to Harvest, a fine dining, but more casual restaurant that has a constantly evolving menu that features seasonal ingredients and dishes. I have walked by there many times, and was eager to try it out.

I began the meal with a Lychee Martini, a perfect starter paired with some bread and hummus. It was hard to decide on dishes, so I opted for the Autumn tasting menu our server recommended. I had the Sunchoke soup (I had never heard of it before). Another name for it is Jerusalum artichoke. I’m not a fan of artichokes, but this was very good and didn’t taste like artichoke to me at all. Just perfect and light for a cool evening. For the main course, I had the Prime Filet Mignon, with brussels sprouts and eggplant purée. Everything was so flavorful and tasted so fresh. Dessert was the Salted Caramel Apple Cobbler and I will just say “YUM!”

Cheers! 🍸
