Swayed by my overwhelming compulsion to be FRUGAL as possible in Vegas, I convinced my girlfriends to have dinner @ Fiamma, prior to our KA showing @ 9.30 pm on a Wednesday night. \n\nMaking a reservation for four a week ahead seemed silly, especially when in every restaurant, it's never full to capacity!  WTF would any one have to wait any more than 5 minutes, I can't tell you, but it beats just standing and doing nothing.  \n\nFour girls from Louisiana and we get David as our server, from Louisiana as well.  What are the odds, eh???  Anyhoo, we all opted for the summer tasting menu - three courses for $45, or with wine pairings, an extra $25 on top.  We didn't do the wine pairing, but I did get the Bellini.  I heart sweet alcoholic drinks and this was delicious!  The champagne wasn't too dry and the peach syrup was refreshing.\n\nFor starters, the girls had Caesar salad and I had the grilled octopus with a tomato and olive and capers type of chutney/sauce.  The octopus was really char-grilled, and at times it overwhelmed the delicate flavor of the protein, but not at all was it chewy or rubbery.  Delicious and tender!  \n\nEntree - the girls had the grilled skirt steak and I had the salmon.  WOW was the steak delicious.  One of the girls commented how this was the best steak ever - tender, juicy, not too salty, just tasty.  And when I bit into it, I almost regretted getting the salmon - it was tasty!!!\n\nThe salmon was fresh and delicious.  It was barely seasoned as the pancetta provided enough saltiness and the corn ragu added a touch of sweetness....mmmmm.....I had to force myself to finish the last bite - still bracing the fact that we had dessert coming as well.\n\nFour choices of desserts and four girls = sharing all dessert!!!  Hands down, our favorite was the chocolate tarfuto - the hazelnuts and dark chocolate poured over the caramel gelato...MMMMM. \n\nThe sorbet trio was fantastic - cantaloupe tasted exactly like one!  Next favorite was the tiramisu - we found the espresso powder covering the delicate dessert to be overpowering, but still tasting.  And the least favorite was the panna cotta.  I think the girls were turned off by the figs, but the almonds and honey really brought out the marscapone in the panna cotta.\n\nNot to mention that David's fellow server, Brian was really hamming it up with us.  Prior to dessert, he sent over some miscotti or dessert wine.  It was SOOO delicious, that one of the girls took my glass and promptly finished it off.  Of course we had to thank Brian for his generosity, and even took a picture with him.  \n\nAnyhoo, Service here was fantastic, the food very tasty.  I appreciated the fact that David asked if we were on a time frame, and even though we didn't make it out in time, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
