| - Having missed a chance at Thomas Keller's French Laundry when we were in Napa, we HAD to check out Bouchon when we got to Las Vegas and we were not disappointed.
We went for dinner, and my boyfriend got the eye of the ribeye, and I got the lamb. Now keep in mind that when you order these items, you're getting a small portion. To be exact, you're getting about five slices of meat atop some type of delicious bed of vegetables.
My lamb was a little raw. I ordered it medium and it came out rare. It was still very good though, and my boyfriend ate the more rare pieces. He loved his ribeye and loved the bean mixture that came with mine.
For dessert we got the Bouchons, which were brownies topped with three types of homemade icecream: coffee, mango and peanut butter. It was deeeeeelicious.
Oh, but as for those fries everyone raves about? Just OK. I mean they were good, but I don't understand the hype. I also don't know what I was expecting out of a french fry.
This place is very classy. The waiter service is excellent and if you have black pants, they'll offer you a black napkin. The decor reminded me of "The Shining", not in a horror type of way, but a classic old-school theme type of way.
Overall this place was lovely and I'd certainly go back. Expect to drop a couple hundred dollars on a good meal for two here, but it'll be worth it.
Also, they have an outdoor patio, but it connects to the hotel area where people can swim, so I imagine it could be less intimate that you'd like if that's what you want. We ate our dinner inside and asked to have our drinks after dinner on the patio. It was very nice.
