Horseshoe resort - Silks fine dining

Silks fine dining is one of the reasons for staying at the Horseshoe resort. There aren't lots of choices on the menu. They also limit the number of seats in the restaurant. I guess this is what fine dining supposed to be. Our package included a 3 course dinner for two. The complimentary appetizers were quite interesting. For the first course we chose the soup and the burger. The mushroom soup was creamy. The burger was not a conventional burger. It was burger of Elk, quite interesting. For the entrees, we tried the salmon, tenderloin, and risotto. The risotto was rich. The pecan crusted salmon was amazing, excellent combination. The pan fried mash potato at the bottom was a great compliment. The AAA tenderloin was really good. Haven't had a good steak for a while. The dessert was amazing. The creme brulee was a classic brulee mixed with vanilla bean. The tiramisu was so soft and smooth. The buffet breakfast was... normal, nothing surprising. The freshly squeezed orange juice was really good but that was an extra $4. The Eggs Benedict was very impressive. The chef put in smoked salmon instead of bacon.
