I almost had to twist my friends' arms to get them to have dinner here. Stupid friends. This was the BEST place we ate at in Vegas. It was a welcome departure from the steak and chicken driven menus in other venues.
We started with Siberian nachos consisting of wonton chips topped with caviar, wasabi, smoked salmon, and creme fraiche. The interplay of flavors in this appetizer was enhanced two fold when we paired it with the restaurant's version of a Bloody Mary. The drink was awesome- it was spicy, accented by a green olive stuffed with blue cheese poured over the smoothest vodka I've ever had. Ever!
For dinner I had the Salmon Kubeyalka (sic) which consisted of a buerre blanc sauce beneath a puff pastry topped with mushroom risotto. On top of the risotto was the flakiest and most tender piece of Salmon resting beneath another layer of puff pastry which was adorned with a hard boiled egg white filled with caviar.
Our waiter was very accommodating, very attentive to the details, and extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of our dining experience. The other entrees ordered by my friends were also well received judging by the restraint exercised by those wanting to lick their plates clean. Next time you go to Vegas, add this spot to your itinerary.
