| - 3 stars not because the food sucked, the food was good, but for a restaurant charging top prices, it's a 3 star. I was honestly underwhelmed by this restaurant. My first french haute cuisine in Vegas was at Joël Robuchon at MGM, my second here at Picasso and my third at Guy Savoy at Caesar's. Picasso was not up to tier compared to these other two $$$$ restaurants in terms of creativity, service and decor. If you have one fancy place to pick when you're in Vegas, I don't think this should be your choice, and here's why.
The fact that it was in Bellagio probably made you think it must be the best haute French restaurant in town, might not be true. They had a prix fixe menu when we went there and for my main course I upgraded my dish for a lot of extra money for their Wagyu just to try how it was. Not worth the money. My other two friends were a bit underwhelmed too. Honestly I couldn't even remember exactly what we ate.
The dining room was quite dimly lit and maybe that's why we couldn't see well what we were eating lol. The decor was OK, nothing so special that would add to your dining experience. What's nice was the balcony by the famous fountain. It's great for taking photos!
The service was alright, not bad but nowhere close to exceptional. A few times we had to look around for attention, a big no no for a high-end restaurant.
I would have not a single doubt going back to the other two restaurants but definitely not Picasso.
