| - Had high expectations going in after checking out the menu online but it was a bit disappointing in the execution.
First the good: my favorite on the menu was probably the French Onion Soup. I'm a huge fan of French Onion so it was a must as soon as I saw it. Soup itself is nice with the gruyère cheese. Nothing that makes me go "wow" but it's solid.
The foie gras with the vanilla bread pudding and the foie fras mousse was a really rich and savory dish. Much better for sharing, even though it's not much. The bone marrow with the oxtail jam is also good, and again, the portion is small. For $18, it was a small half section. Oxtail jam is super tender oxtail with some caramelized onions.
We hated the oysters. They had a variety of oysters so we asked them to bring us 2 dozens for the group so we can try so it was just... not fresh at all. For a restaurant like Comme Ca, definitely had higher expectations, especially when it is over $3 for the oysters.
The Pork Shank sounded tasty, but it was dry. In fact... I actually think the pork shank at some of the HK cafes might be better haha. Gnocchi, I'd pass. Steak Frites was probably the best entree item that I've tried, but c'mon, can't mess up steak & fries at least.
Service-wise, absolutely on top. A few in the group were very rowdy after drinking all day, but the wait staff was extremely patient! Our server explained everything well (sadly forgot the cute red head's name) and waters refilled by the staff quickly.
For Vegas, we did expect it to be pricey, especially at a chef-owned restaurant at the Cosmo, but the food just didn't do it for us.
