We went to DUO Steak & Seafood for dinner, and ate like royalty. With a media price, we spent $221.42.
We ordered a few cocktails; Jeff went for a Tom Collins and, at our waiter’s suggestion, I attempted a Rose Gold, made with vodka, St-Germain, lemon, glowing rosé, rose petal, and precise gold leaf. He promised it will be “bougie” and it delivered. It was the epitome of Instagrammable and had a crisp taste with floral notes.

Then, for dessert, the chocolate lava cake — which was as decadent because it sounds — arrived together with a shock coconut cake and mini brownie for my birthday (which was the day earlier than). The four-tiered, flower-topped cake tasted pretty much as good because it appeared, with an ethereal sponge and light-as-a-feather cream with simply the correct quantity of coconut taste. It was among the best issues we ate on the journey, and we had leftovers earlier than our flight house.

Our waiter informed me celebrities ceaselessly go to, and stated the lodge is common with NBA gamers throughout the low season. A pair we met throughout our keep informed us they noticed Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on the lodge, too.
DUO was additionally the each day hangout for the forged of “The White Lotus,” who knocked again spicy margaritas and partied on the restaurant whereas the others have been closed throughout the pandemic, our waiter informed me. He stated the forged was extremely pleasant, and that he nonetheless has Jennifer Coolidge’s quantity in his cellphone.
