Mandalay Bay - Aureole

 

Last week, we were staying at Mandalay Bay, and we had a $30 food credit that came with our comped offer. Recently, we were browsing restaurant.com and we saw this place had a coupon, so we purchased a $50 gift certificate for $4. (They were having 80% off promotion. Normally, it costs like $20.) So it's like we are getting $80 of the food for only $4. That's a pretty good deal.

This place is very famous for wine, but unfortunately, we don't drink. The service was good, food wasn't amazing, but good enough.




























complimentary bread (They brought out some bread that you can choose from 4 different breads and we got all 4)
Wheat, French, focaccia, and pretzel. My favorite was french bread. It was delicious.













Duo of Niman Ranch Pork $32
herb-crusted tenderloin, grilled belly, smashed white sweet potato














This was my plate. I didn't wanna order pork, because I don't like it (but I like Kurobuta pork and bacon, that's the exceptions). But I ordered it because I didn't see anything else that I wanted to order on the menu. I don't like white fish, I don't like roasted chicken, and I didn't wanna order steak or shrimp, because I only wanted to do like around $80. But the pork was good. I could finish eating it all.













The pork belly was so soft, like melting in my mouth. Also it was fatty. But delicious. And the white sweet potato was very good, too.













Grilled John Dory $36
brown butter treviso, house made andouille













My husband ordered this. Like I said, I don't like white fish, and to me, it had no taste (to me, white fish always has no taste). But he loved it. It's very interesting that they cook it with grapefruit.
