  • Iron Chef + Bordello = CatHouse The concierge at Hard Rock recommended dinner at CatHouse, the new Kerry Simon restaurant at Luxor. I'd seen him on Iron Chef and I'd been to Simon LA, so I was definitely game. Walking around the Luxor, I started to see the posters advertising CatHouse. I was immediately put on edge. Two buxom brunettes in bustiers. I immediately flashed back to a horrid "dinner" I had recently with a friend at the Gold Club (the saddest salad I have ever had the displeasure of eating and they charged EB $1 for extra ketchup on his fries. Weak.) We walk upstairs to the dining area, the walls covered in myriad framed photos of black & white erotica (vintage and otherwise). We entered an absolutely gorgeous dining room, with crushed blue velvet booths and curtains, extravagant chandeliers over each table and baroque bordello accents. In the corner, a model sits in a vanity applying cosmetics and changing lingerie. Well, I guess it's a better gig than sitting in a bathtub at Tao. The menu primarily features a range of small plates and several large plates, meant for sharing. We ordered the truffled mac & cheese, salmon cakes, steak tartare, hamachi carpachio, mussels & frites, creamed spinach and brussel sprouts with pancetta. For three girls, this was a good amount of food and though we didn't finish everything, we did save room for dessert. Crushed Red Velvet Cake, with Marscapone Cream Icing; oh my gosh, we practically licked the paper wrapping. The steak tartare, easily the best I have ever had (yes, even better than the Kobe Steak Tartare I had at the Fifth Floor in SF). The mussels and frites were also exceptional; we couldn't stop dipping the fries into the broth of white wine, garlic, tarragon and shallots. Honestly though, everything was well executed. I'm really going to have to rethink my stance on eating in the presence of lingerie models. There is an additional lounge area that is as red as the dining room is blue. The decor was luxe, the music was typical and the crowd was...eh. Just not for me. I might check it out again as a club, but I was surprisingly impressed with CatHouse as a restaurant.
