Shortly after being seated, a mountain of butter transported from Brittany and eerily reminiscent of Close Encounter’s is brought tableside. The butter sommelier shaves shards with a sprinkle of sea salt to accompany any of the 20-plus bread choices available throughout the meal. At MGM Grand. Sun.-Thur., 5:30 p.m..-10 p.m., Fri.-Sat., 5:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m.
