Wanted to love it. I really did. I didn't try the original Bouchon in Yountville when I was there, so I made reservations to try the Las Vegas outpost as soon as I knew when I would be there. In a nutshell, the service and decor were top notch, but the food was lackluster. My gnocchi with summer vegetables came out with a few strips of red bell pepper and a scant smattering of mushrooms. What, no squash or carrots or green beans in Vegas, Thomas? The menu did say SUMMER veggies, didn't it? It was far enough from the description that I really wanted to send it back with complaints to the chef, but alas, I just picked around the edges and left the rest alone. Somehow my server didn't notice my nearly full plate of pasta. Perceptive!
In Yountville I made Bouchon Bakery a staple, and I think I'll stick with that. The restaurant just didn't cut it for me.
