Located in the Encore, Botero, named after the Colombian artist Fernando Botero, houses much of his beautiful artwork, complete with a sculpture of a voluptuous woman in the middle of the restaurant. We luckily got a great table right by the statute and facing the grand Encore Beach Club pool. \n\nWe trekked all the way from the Golden Nugget (we went to see one of Gallagher's last watermelon smashing shows), so we were starving and were going for any appetizers. I got the petite filet, 8 ounces, with the chimichurri preparation. The BF got the Bone-In Ribeye which came with a trio of sauces. The filet was cooked perfectly, but I did not care for the chimichurri sauce. The sauce was not flavorful at all, it was more of a dry-rub. I have had better chimichurri at a backyard BBQ. The BF's ribeye was much tastier than my filet and the three sauces were an interesting touch. For our side, we got the truffle mac and cheese, which was good, but not as decedent as I expected. \n\nThe ambience and of course, my company, was amazing. However, for being the Encore, I was just not impressed. It is definitely not something to write home to mom about.
