[QUOTE="Nighthawk, post: 2535224, member: 3906"] My wife and I dined there for our anniversary last Friday. I wanted to find out what others thought before I wrote my review. For The Beginning My wife had Maine lobster Ravioli Beer-battered claws, Tahitian vanilla beanuni butter sauce $15. She said she could have had a double of it for the whole supper, I tried it and felt it was very good. I had Duck Charcuterie Duck confit en croute, duck breast proscuitto, horseradish mustard, tart cherry compote, red onion marmalade, baguette $18. I felt it was good, my wife would not touch it, because of the smell. LIGHT & SAVORY we each had Butter Lettuce Creamy Cambozola vinaigrette, oven-roasted tomatoes, chives, barbecue candied bacon $11. x 2 I am no chef, but it just looked like a head of lettuce he cut a section out and put some dressing on top of that section. My wife and I felt it was good. For the ENTRÉE My wife had Roast Pork Loin Roulade Tart cherry, fennel, pecan, fontina, spring mushroom risotto, Chianti reduction $32. My wife like it, I tried it and felt it was good. I had Pan-Roasted Diver Scallops Lobster & Boursin, carrot-cardamom puree, passion fruit beurre blanc, braised fennel $34. This consisted of 3 Scallops stuffed with a lobster paste. I felt it was good, my wife would not try it. My wife had a glass of Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc / Viognier, California $12. glass She had no comment I had Bitter Julep Bourbon, Campari, Pinot Noir, Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth, mint $11. Which was different, and I liked it For dessert my wife had Cherry-raisin bread pudding sweet potato, bourbon caramel $8. She tries bread pudding at almost every restaurant she goes to and rated this a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I do not remember what I had for dessert, it was a special, and it did not impress me. We had made reservations The view was great, we sat at a window, I am sure it would have been better at night. The service was top notch. The water smelt and tasted fishy like it came from an aquarium. Maybe I am used to restaurants where the portions are bigger, and you leave stuffed. The portions were very small, like you are just getting a taste of the food not a complete meal. The food I ate was top notch, my wife liked everything except the bread pudding. Was it worth $200. including the tip. Yes, if you are a person who eats like a bird and two mouth fulls fills you up. It has excellent service, excellent aveonche, excellent view, and excellent food. If you are a person who eats at a Buffet (as my wife calls them troofs), Mexican, Italian, or most Oklahoma restaurants, the Vast is not for you. Parking is $5. if you park it yourself, or $10. for valet service to park it for you, I do not let anyone park my vehicle after seeing Ferris Bueller's Day off. Everyone should experience the Vast once, just to say you have been there. Just like everyone should experience Mark's Firearms at least once, so that I will have enough money to take my wife to Vast next time she asks. LOL [/QUOTE]
