First established in the 1930s, supper clubs rose to popularity offering a hybrid experience between a traditional restaurant and a social club. Mostly popular in the Midwestern United States, many of these establishments gained notoriety as roadhouses and found post-Prohibition success by offering fine food, live entertainment and an engaging social setting.
Taking that experience to a new level, The Mayfair Supper Club at Bellagio pairs extremely talented entertainers with decadent dishes to create an incredible evening out. Not to mention the ornate dining room, drenched in plush pinks and tantalizing turquoise, overlooks the beautiful Bellagio fountains, offering exceptional ambience.
With the main stage centered in the dining room, a bad seat here simply does not exist. Throughout the evening, you can expect impressive vocals from the personas of Mae Montgomery and her opposite, Fred Lowell. Joined by energetic dancers and talented instrumentalists, the pair delight with jazzy versions of favorite tunes.
The lively entertainment and well-adorned walls create an elegant setting for a seriously sensational selection to savor. Seafood, a staple offering at most supper clubs, abounds here. Chilled shellfish options like oysters and shrimp cocktail complement sushi offerings like the hamachi crudo, topped with calamansi, olive oil and chili.
Classics like lobster thermidor and a 36-ounce dry-aged prime tomahawk accompanied by Mayfair steak sauce both stun, while dishes like cauliflower with pistachio vinaigrette and crispy shallots and Ora King salmon with romanesco offer lighter fare.
Skipping sides would be a serious misstep here. Earthy forest mushrooms, truffle pasta and decadent potato purée provide hearty accompaniments, while rich creamed spinach and Brussels sprouts and bacon contribute flavorful greenery.
The Mayfair Supper Club offers multiple over-the-top desserts, but the cherries jubilee brings extra entertainment. With a flaming tableside presentation and served over cold vanilla ice cream, this classic sweet is an absolute treat.
