| - I agree with the reviews below, they did a great job of explaining the menu in more detail than I could. Gave this place 4 stars for originality of food and drinks, and the atmosphere. It was not too dark, not too bright, with artsy decor on the walls and different pictures rotating on projection screens (NOT PG rated, BTW, I saw a breast or two flash by, though there were nice scenic pics in there too.) They have a club/lounge in the back of the restaurant, which was recommended to us by a Dior employee at Caesars mall, he said it was a mix of hip hop music and some other music, he went on a Saturday. However, we weren't able to go since it's not open on Sundays.
Me and two other girlfriends of mine went here late on a Sunday nite (sat 10 pm?) and there was no wait. Not that this matters, but an added bonus was that our waiter was HOT! hehe. Anyways, the menu had a lot of things that I had never heard of before, so if you're not used to Brazilian / Peruvian / Japanese food then the staff should be able to explain it all to you before you order.
We ordered the tuna ceviche and shrimp ceviche for appetizers (see reviews below for details of the dishes I talk about here). Both excellent, and fresh, and a decent-sized portion (about a cereal bowl full), but pricey at around $15-17 each. We also ordered spicy tuna rolls, which were excellent (the tuna practically melted in our mouths) as well as the BoBoBrazil roll, which Mr. Hottie Waiter recommended - slices of Kobe Beef atop a roll with a bunch of good stuff in it that I didn't know (sorry to all you food buffs!). I think it was a mix of onions? Both very good.
As far as cocktails, I would definitely recommend the Chu-Cucumber cocktail. I think that's the name of it. Again, Mr. Hottie Waiter recommended this, which I decided to try even though it didn't sound good at first. It was surprisingly refreshing! It has some sort of Japanese liquor in it, which supposedly had a lite Vodka flavor, as well as Roseflower and cucumber. I ended up having two of these (they were in a martini glass), and the third having substituted the original liquor for Gin, as a recommendation by the bartender, which had a stronger alcohol taste to it. One of my friends tried the Samba Juice cocktail, which she said was good and tasted a little like sangria.
Overall, great atmosphere, a bit pricey, but original food that you wouldn't find at your regular sushi restaurant. I would definitely try this place at least once on a trip to Vegas! Hopefully I'll get to check out the lounge next time!
