| - Came here for a late night dinner after a memorable Vegas show. Although we made reservations it took them 10-15 min to set up our table and the front hostess has a bit of a snooty attitude towards us. We were seated by the outdoor balcony facing the Bellagio, which had a nice view. The complimentary french bread was very good, it was crunchy and warm. We also had a small complimentary dish from the chef, some sort of shaved carrots with lemon juice and pepper. It was refreshing and has a bit of a ting to it.
I started off with the Soup du jour, which was butternut squash/apple soup. It was creamy and had a very distinct butternut squash flavor. For entree, since it was a "french steakhouse," I ordered the Steak Roquefort with blue cheese sauce, It was the blue cheese sauce that caught my attention. The steak was a thin 1/4" thick flank steak, I assumed, with a wad of blue cheese sauce and some frites. I was a bit disappointed in the steak as it was a bit chewy and the exterior was grainy. The cheese sauce was good but I really expect the steak itself to be way better. In addition I ordered a side of ratatouille. My friends ordered the New York strip steak, which I was told was good, maybe I just didn't ordered the right item. Finally for dessert I ordered the sorbet, to be honest I really don't know what flavor it was, because when I ordered the waitress said it was blood orange, but it was nothing like blood orange, maybe I just heard it wrong. However, the sorbet was good and refreshing as you can imagine in the hot weather.
Overall, service was average, food was not as good as I expected, but the view was magnificent. I give 3 stars for the food and 4 stars for the view, that's 3.5 stars, but I will have to dock 0.5 stars for the snooty hostess.
