Iridescence

Tuesday night before heading to the Madonna concert I headed to Iridescence at the Motor City Casino for dinner. To be completely honest with you, it was on my list of places to check out, but it was at the bottom (I had heard it was pricey...and I'm a girl on a budget). Opportunity arose for me to able to try this restaurant out. Now, I don't know if it was the fact that I didn't have to pay for anything, but I thought the food held up to it's hype. First of all, if there's any reason why anyone should give it a try is for the view...it was one of the best views I have seen of the city (close second would be at the top of the parking garage at WSU--you can't exactly have a fine dining experience at the top of a parking garage though). We began with some appetizers. The top of my list were the crab cakes and the sashimi. I have never tried sashimi that sweet. All of the entrees were presented beautifully and lived up to their standard. One of the meals came with a lobster risotto, which was so rich and delectable. The service was one of the best I've experience in the area. I can't say that I will go back soon, but I definitely recommend it as a spot for a special occasion. On the fork meter, it gets four out of five forks.
