On Wednesday, April 15th, 2009, we had the pleasure of dining at the Wolfgang Puck restaurant inside Borgata Casino & Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ.
This was a first time they we had actually dined at Wolfgang Puck and we had only heard good things about this restaurant up until that point. Did the experience live up to the reputation?
First, let us say that this was an outstanding experience. Both the president of NJROCKSTAR, LLC and, his girlfriend agreed that it was a very memorable dining experience. To start, we called for reservations at the last minute and we were shocked with how nice we were treated on the phone. The person that answered the phone made sure that we were accommodated.
When we arrived, we opted to dine in the actual restaurant room in the back rather than the lounge area up front that is exposed to the passing public on the gambling floor. This would give us the opportunity to absorb the full atmosphere and provide us with a more intimate vibe.The decor was very modern and seating was comfortable. We do have to note that the tables were very slightly too close together but, privacy was not an issue at all. We would have preferred being spread out a bit more from the people next to us on either side.A waiter greeted us the minute we were seated.
After ordering, it seemed liked the appetizers came out instantly. It was such a busy night so we were quite impressed. After the main course came out, two people checked in on us (the waiter and the manager of the restaurant). This made us feel very welcome and very comfortable. Service was prompt throughout the entire meal yet we didn’t feel rushed at all. The food was magnificent, as we imagined it would be. You could just tell that only the finest ingredients were used and that the meal was prepared with pride. We recommend trying the New York Strip steak. It was simply mouth watering. Desert and espresso followed the main course and once again, the quality and freshness stood out.
Overall, we highly suggest visiting Wolfgang Puck for dinner if you are in the Atlantic City Area. It may be a tad bit pricy for some people but, for the quality of the food combined with the atmosphere, it is well worth the expense.
We will certainly be returning to dine there in the near future!
