| - This place is simply gorgeous and makes you forget that you're sitting in Vegas in the middle of the dessert. The food was good and the service was amazing.
We went on a Friday evening - surprisingly, it was very easy to get a reservation (most likely because we were only a party of two and were willing to have an early dinner - 6:30). Walking in, we were immediately taken aback by the gorgeous view - the restaurant opens up into the (ok fine, man-made but still beautiful) waterfall and lake. Highly recommend asking for a table facing the waterfall - you can either sit in or outside (but since I'm a wuss and I like my AC, we sat inside directly facing the water).
DB's has a $48 prix fixe menu if you order before 7 p.m., which was nice. I chose the chilled corn soup, skate americaine and chocolate hazelnet dessert.
Thoughts:
-Chilled corn soup: extremely, extremely tasty, and perfect for a Vegas summer night! It was served with fried potato (I think?) puffs, which was a nice addition. There were some cold bell peppers in the soup, which gave it a nice flavor. Only issue was that the serving was HUGE - I was struggling to finish towards the end.
-Skate Americaine: The fish/lobster topping was yummy - it was a nice light fish. However, I was not a fan of the beans....not. at. all.
-Dessert: If I hadn't ordered this as part of the prix fixe meal, I would probably have been upset....it was TINY. I think the actual chocolate/hazelnut part was about as big as my pinky. For $13-14 on the regular menu, I think they could be a little more generous with the dessert portion size.
Other thoughts:
-BF had the $32 burger...I don't know how one person can finish that, but it is ginormous and decadent. Waiter recommended medium instead of medium rare, to make sure the foie gras was more cooked...we definitely appreciated his recommendation.
-I had a pear mojito, which was amazing.
-They really need to have a discussion with the Wynn about the waterfall shows...we saw two while dining. The first one was a giant neon frog singing - this one was ok - but the second was this strange, techno-disco-hypnotic snake/neon woman/something weird show. The second show was super long and super creepy.
