Had dinner here on a Friday night in Vegas. I've seen Scott Conant on Chopped a hundred times and he always comes across as a little too full of himself, claiming to be the master of pasta. With this in mind I was actually looking forward to criticizing his restaurant, but I just can't.
I ordered the creamy polenta appetizer and shared it with the table. It was amazing, with the truffled mushrooms blending perfectly with the polenta whose "creamy" descriptor in the menu is both descriptive and right on.
I then ordered the duck and foie gras ravioli. I thought it would be too rich, but the portion was just right and somehow, despite it being duck with foie gras, was not too rich. The pasta was cooked perfectly... damn you Conant.
For dessert we had the Bombolini and the Strawberry Souffle, both were great, with the Bombolini being the favorite for the table.
The dinner was absolutely lovely and everything was very flavorful, in perfect portions and made just right.
