| - I didn't give the place 5-stars because I reserve 5-stars for establishments that are perfect in what/who they cater to, and the excellence they do it in.
The desserts here are made by a chef who was crowned basically the world's best pastry chef in the 1990s, and took up residency with the MGM giant here in Vegas.
I saw someone post here about getting lunch. Okay, you do NOT get lunch here. You get desserts, small snacks, and other small things. No wonder you rated it badly. If you go to a Starbucks and expect steak and lobster, will you give it 2-stars? Jeez, come to my Chinese restaurant and I swear if ask for foie gras, I will spit in your food.
The pastries are great. Some of the tastes take some time getting accustomed to, probably because they are quite bold in flavor. They also had vanilla flan which was pretty interesting. Too bad though, my mom makes them better.
For a date, this may be a mediocre place to go to for desserts. For a true epicurean, for whom Jean Philippe went to La Chambre de Métiers for, this is THE place for desserts. If you want a cake, I know that you have to meet with their cake specialist ahead of time to order one. They are MUCH more expensive than Freed's Bakery, but well worth the money.
Other than that, they have a great selection, so whatever you're feeling like, they should have something in store. The pieces are somewhat pricey though, so restrain yourself ;)
