Dear Sirs,
My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at your truly great restaurant on February 8, my 66th birthday. I felt like a mountain climber who had just climbed Mt. Everest, you just cannot go any higher! The evening was fantastic in every way and from the moment we first entered your restaurant we “could feel the class” and knew it was going to be a special evening.
I am a retired U.S. Department of State employee and had overseas assignments in Australia, Morocco, Canada, Switzerland, Russia, Hong Kong, the Philippines and China and have eaten at many fine restaurants in those countries as well as here in the United States. I think that your restaurant is the best one I have ever eaten in before.
There are a lot of outstanding restaurants here in Las Vegas and in other cities in the country and overseas, but there are very few that reach the truly great status. As a long time baseball fan, I would like to use an interesting example which better explains what I just mentioned. Many baseball historians consider the 1927 New York Yankees as the greatest team of all time. In the 1927 World Series, the Yankees played the Pittsburgh Pirates. Here is how The Sporting News described that World Series:
“The 1927 Pittsburgh Pirates were an outstanding team, as the presence of Pie Traynor, Paul and Lloyd Waner and Glenn Wright would indicate. There was one major problem confronting Manager Donie Bush’s Pirates, though, as they prepared for the World Series. Their postseason opposition would be a truly great team – quite possibly the best club ever fielded in the history of the sport.” Those 1927 New York Yankees were led by the one-two punch of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, two of the greatest players to ever walk upon a baseball diamond.
I feel this reference to the 1927 baseball World Series, sums it up perfectly as there are a lot of outstanding restaurants, but only a very rare few, achieve truly great status. Since our dinner at your restaurant last Wednesday night, I have already highly recommended it to several friends, plus some planning to visit Las Vegas on a future vacation.
Regards,
Mark A. Cole
