For a Nevadan, I really try not to visit the strip that often. Just as when I lived in San Francisco, I try not to visit the touristy spot like the Pier, or Alcatraz (truth be told, I still haven't visited Alcatraz in my 3 years in the city). When I do visit the strip, it's either CE courses or business ventures. So when a colleague insisted on dining at this restaurant, I was skeptical of the quality of food here. I'm glad they proved me wrong.
Here's why I enjoyed the experience and some tips:
The outside dining area's view! Bellagio fountain and people watching paired with classic french cuisines and a great wine selection. Fantastic. I also love the multitude of heat lamps here because on a 55 degree night, my steak remained warm. And the steak. You have to go with the filet, rib-eye or NY strip if you want a true steak. The rest of the pretenders are pounded flat with a variety of sauces to choose from (definitely disappointing to look at).
Another disappointment is that they don't have a classic french dish Duck Confit (fatty duck preserved in marinated duck fat, then fried up in duck fat). So this restaurant is more Gabby than Gabi which isn't bad...
