| - I liked this place. The service was excellent. The bread way amazing.
The outdoor patio was great, it was a perfect evening in Vegas.
We had a couple of their specialty martini type drinks, they were all excellent with fresh juices and mixed perfectly.
The oysters were so fresh they seemed plucked straight from the ocean! I had my doubts ordering oysters and being in Vegas. But I had heard Anthony Bourdin has first pic flown in fresh daily, so I was confident they would be fresh, and they certainly did not disappoint.
The asparagus/prosciutto appetizer was strange, it sounded better than it tasted, I probably would not recommend ordering that due to some sort of odd seasoning they used.
I had a daily special appetizer, which had pork belly. I have never had pork belly so I decided to go for it, it was my favorite, quite delicious! It had crispy squares of pork with some sort of custard sauce in a pie crust with micro greens and white asparagus. The crust was addicting!
For main courses, I had the roasted chicken. I love roasted chicken, I make an amazing one myself, so I had to try what they did with it. Well, it was a huge disappointment. It was bland, flavorless, and dry. The sauce was so weak that came with it, well I could not tell what type of sauce it was. I would NOT recommend ordering this dish to anyone unless you are on a special diet that restricts seasoning.
My friend had the steak and frittes, and WOW that was so good! The steak was the best I have ever had. There was some sort of butter herb onion marmalade topping on the steak. The steak was so tender that it melted in your mouth, and with the topping, well it was sheer perfection!
The frittes (aka fries) were crispy and delicious! I would highly recommend ordering this!
I ended up filling up on my friends steak and ditching the dud of a chicken dish.
For dessert we had the profiteroles, I think. We gobbled them up so quick even thought we were stuffed that, well, I barely remember seeing them.
So the grand total with tax and tip was $230.90!
That was an awesome deal for the quantity and quality, and let's not forget being in Vegas!
Cheers to you Bouchon!
