| - While in Las Vegas, we chose this as our romantic dinner. We had built this place up in our heads as an amazing, mind blowing place and it was good but it didn't take it to the next level for us. It is a Michelin star restaurant and some of the things (nit picky things) made it seem like just another place and not at the Michelin star level.
The ambiance is very nice but things like paper place mats at the table seemed less nice than expected. I did like the view into the kitchen as you could watch them prepare everything. The decor was very nice.
The service was very good too. The waiter and bus boys were on top of everything as far as cleaning up plates and paying attention to us. They pointed out when our steak was cooking so we could watch and other little things that were nice touches. Things that weren't so nice for a restaurant like this, the waiter took our order by writing it down in a little $2 notebook you can buy at CVS. Also, he brought the wrong food at one point. We ordered the langoustine and he brought us the king crab salad. He did promptly correct his mistake and let us keep the salad but mistakes like this shouldn't happen.
Now onto the food and drink. We got a pear cocktail which was very fresh and tasted like the juiced a pear and put it in the glass. Very good. We realized we don't like foie grais with the Amuse-bouche. It was nice to try but not our cup of tea. We followed that with fantastic iberico ham and tomato toast, citrus fish carpaccio, and fried langoustine. Fantastic! The ham was the best but they were all amazingly good. They brought out the crab salad at this point as well. Not that good but nice to taste it. It didn't sound appealing to us which is why we didn't order it but you may like it. We also got a pumpkin soup that was very tasty but ultimately he least favorite appetizer. Next came the main course. The lobster tagliatelle and the wagyu steak. The main lobster pasta was delicious! The steak was ok. So here's the thing. The steak cost $98. It wasn't a $98 steak. It was very good and had good flavor but it was fatty. If I ordered this steak at a Ruth's Chris or another place, it would have been great. But here? I expected a bit more. The temperature was slightly more rare than medium rare but still cooked very nicely. Good flavor but I would look elsewhere for a main course. The mashed potatoes, however, were the best I've ever eaten. Creamy and smooth but rich with very good flavor.
The dessert...the dessert was fantastic! The right way to end a meal. We went chocolate. It had a chocolate ganache base, then chocolate crunch balls, then a circular white chocolate ice cream powdered in Oreo cookie crumble, then a thin halo of milk chocolate with dabs of passion fruit and raspberry on it with a gold drop at the top. This was a Michelin star dessert. It was an amazing way to end a meal. I can't recommend this enough.
Overall, it's hard for a restaurant of this caliber to surpass expectations. It was very good and I would recommend it but not quite at the level we expected.
