| - Hands down one of the best meals I've had in the continental US.
The wait staff, somellier, and bartender were all very knowledgeable about the things they needed to know about. They answered every question we had, the food was served well, well timed, just an excellent meal.
They were offering 3 prix fix menus that evening, one a special black truffle menu, where all of the dishes had black truffles. The other special that night was a kobe beef filet.
I ordered off of a prix fix menu where I got:
- Red bell pepper soup and quail (I can't recall how it was prepared)
- Poached oysters topped with caviar
- Filet of Sea Bass
- Deer medallion with a horseradish garnish
- Chocolate cake that probably took 9 years off of my life
Everything was flavorful and delicious, and the wine that was paired with each course was a perfect complement to the dish. The somellier took the time to explain where each wine came from, what it tasted like, and why it went well with the food.
I had never tried deer before, and by all accounts I've heard it's a gamey and tough meat. It tasted more gamey than - say - steak, but this deer was tender and delicious.
Excellent experience for the money, highly recommended. Visit Picasso when you're in Las Vegas.
