We can here to drop cash and enjoy a super fancy dinner and by the reviews we were super excited. Unfortunately we were highly disappointed...and left tons of money ($150/person with only 2 drinks). The reason for our disappointment (and the opinion was unanimous between 6 people who all ordered different things) is the food lacked any sort of wow factor or creativity. Here's what we had:
Appetizers:
- Beef tartare: this was delicious
- Veal Sweetbreads: first time I've had these and they were cooked pretty well.
- Beet salad: pretty good but nothing extraordinary
- Sashimi: pretty good
- Octopus: this specifically was my dish and left much to be desired.
Entrees:
- Ribeye for two: the meat was cooked well but once again, this was nothing special for a place that is considered one of the top in Vegas.
- Veal Cheeks: these were delicious
- Scallop: too salty and nothing special about the technique or flavors. Needs to be elevated in some way.
- Gnocchi w/ veal: this again was my dish and I was really looking forward to it. It was pretty good but the gnocchi were a really weird, mashed-potato, texture (this was the immediate reaction of anyone tasting them).
So while the food is prepared well there is nothing special, elevated, or unique about this place. Too much salt and not enough creativity. Meh.
The service is really good though.
