| - This restaurant is close to the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino and off of Las Vegas Blvd over on Sahara Avenue, so I'd consider it "off the beaten path" and due to Vegas weather probably not walkable from the main part of the strip, but you can take a cab or drive here.
That's the pros and cons, in that it's not on the strip, for the good and bad of that, it's not convenient to get to, but also takes you away from the chaos of the strip and feels like an old Las Vegas throwback restaurant from the 50's, 60's or 70's era, decades ago. The ambiance is quaint and cozy, it's small and dimly lit.
The food here is good, the service here is great! The waiter was especially friendly with personality and charm.
I had a Filet Mignon steak, so not really within the French cuisine entrees, but it was good.
They have great deserts here including a souffle and a lava cake, both are tasty 'tho I'd recommend, as they prepare it in front of you, to ask to keep the ice cream "on the side" since it's cold and the cakes are hot, so it's the clash of the tasty titans in that the cake gets cold and the ice cream quickly melts... and you have to eat fast n' everything becomes a hot mess. Some people like that, I'm not so much into that and like to take my time and integrate the ice cream or eat it separately, and appreciate the flavor of the cake, warm and moist. It's good either way 'tho!
The vegetable basket, I think it's called Crudites, is a bountiful farmer's market of freshness, as if it were just harvested, and you get a nice assortment, almost too much for even 5 people to eat, so it's a nice snack to share and start of the meal with something cool and refreshing.
