mandarin oriental eats, las vegas.

13 Nov

we stayed at the mandarin last month on a mini getaway to vegas, and really liked it. the hotel is quiet, compared to the rest of vegas, and overall a more relaxing and refined experience. here are some of the eats we enjoyed.

afternoon tea for two at the salon.

a three tier display was set up next to our loungers. service was excellent.

here are the plain scones. with two fruit jams, butter and cream. their scones were flaky + dense.

savories. great presentation, i enjoyed everything except for the rectangular salty tart.. i don’t like when my sweet + savories are mixed.. the egg was good, and devoured in a spoonful.

sweets. the tart and cake pops were good but basic, my favorite was the chocolate hazelnut in the center, and the coffee cream puff.

Petrossian

13 Nov

brunch at petrossian west hollywood.

indulging in a bit of caviar at the nice outdoor patio. weekend mornings are pretty quiet on roberston, so this is quite a nice spot for a chill brunch + glass of rosè.

caviar sampler, with toast, blinis and crème fraîche.
