| - Great atmosphere, awesome view, decent food, pricey. I took some customers out to Eiffel Tower last week and had a good time. The decor was beautiful yet subdued (as a French joint should be). You have to go up an elevator several floors - the result is one of the best views of the Strip. It's great just to look out through the glass at all the lights and buildings. If you're seated well, you can even catch the Bellagio water show from your table.
Foodwise, I think it was good, but not awesome. For a French place, the French bread was meh - you can do better at the grocery store. My foie gras was excellent though. I think it scared off a couple of my customers haha. My rack of lamb entree was pretty tasty, though it was a little hard to cut.
Being a Chicago foodie (hmm that probably sounded pretentious haha), Vegas restaurants don't automatically knock your socks off. There are lots of great Chicago restaurants to compare (and several of them, like N9ne and Japonais, also opened up shop in Vegas). Eiffel Tower definitely wasn't 5-star quality. I would probably be even harder on it if I wasn't on an expense account. But hey, it's Vegas, so you are expected to pay a lot for everything, right? :) The view , though, is very unique and adds to a fine dining experience.
