  • After reading a number of the reviews here on Yelp, I had to see if Chef Daniel really could translate his NYC empire into the plastic coated town that is Vegas. The good news is, he can and does. Almost. First off, the place is a bit smaller and more cramped than I expected. Kind of like find dining meets Stage Deli. But higher end, of course. Started out with the Escargot. Yep. Snails. Which were very tasty and chewy and came with some nicely grilled scallops with a centerpiece of puff pasty wrapped around some greens and inside of that.....a raw egg. Really. Maybe it should be called Eggscargot in that case. The Pumpkin Soup was exquisite. Very smooth and not too strong a Pumpkin impact. Worked really well here. Especially if you dip the bread into the soup. The bread basket comes with standard Sourdough-like French and Raisin slices. My friend got the filet which came with a variety of veggies (no taters) and he said it's the best filet he's had in years. Considering he grew up in a family that owned a major steak establishment in Chicago for years, that's saying a lot because he knows his beef. Me? I dared myself and had the 32 dollar burger. And then got harassed about it on Facebook. But you only live once and who knows when I'll come back here unless Daniel opens an LA establishment? The burger is easily the thickest I've ever engulfed. So thick, the couple next to us used a fork and knife to eat it. Sorry, that's Chopped Steak at that point. I want the true burger experience. It's stuffed with Foie Gras and Short Rib and a result, it's full of incredible flavor. Definitely one of the best burgers I've ever had. Up to a point. The problem is the bun ruins it. It's crispy instead of soft and fluffy. Not like a Kaiser Roll. It's really hard to describe. The burger is so thick that when you lift the burger off the bun there's a deep indentation inside of the bun. I think Daniel should reconsider the bun by making the burger less thick with a larger diameter and he might just nail it. The burger is also cut in half which I'm not a big fan of although in this case, I kind of understand why due to the size. The frites were OK but considering it's Boulud, it's a bit disappointing. I was expecting to be wowed by the frites and it just didn't happen. Both me and my client were stuffed after our meals (and some happy hour parties we were at our conference) so we skipped dessert or I would've had the chocolate souffle for sure. But I digress. It was a sensational meal and just a few additional exceptions would've made it perfect. Or as close to perfect as you're ever going to get.
