In searching for eating establishments away from the strip I kept tripping over Marche Bacchus. During our stay this time we made it a point to go check the place out. We were a little taken aback when our GPS took us to a strip mall, a boring one at that. But we decided to go in anyways.
You walk in through a wine shop. We were immediately greeted warmly and the hostess knew EXACTLY where she was going to seat us and that the table needed to be attended to first. i LOVE when the staff knows the condition of their restaurant at all times. We walked through the wine shop while our table was prepared. The wine shop needs it's own review of 5 stars. They have some serious labels here, Caymus, Far Niente, Opus.. and on and on.. The prices are very decent AND you can choose your bottle of wine and have it opened at your dinner table for a $10 corkage fee. : )
We were seated before we had time to even walk half of the wine shop. They had a 100 person wedding reception that evening, but you would have never known. We were treated as if we were the only patrons there. We were there for dinner and since it was night time and the lake does not have lighting you knew you were by water, but we really had no view. There was a two piece band playing jazz music that made the whole atmosphere perfect for a romantic dinner.
The menu is VERY nice. It has a little of everything. We chose to start with the Escargot in a lemon garlic butter sauce. Very traditional and perfectly executed. They served us fresh French bread that was delicious. Hubby ordered the Filet Mignon with a peppercorn sauce and asked for pomme frite as his side dish. I ordered the lobster ravioli in a lobster burre blanc sauce covered in asparagus and sweet corn. Both dishes were amazing. I rarely finish a plate of food, but I was not about to leave anything on my plate, it was so freaking good.
They also have fabulous wines by the glass I was very happy to find an 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape to enjoy. OH YUM
This is a 5-star all the way through. The staff awesome, the ambiance fab and the food is to die for.. Extra plus this place is only 5 minutes from our Vegas house and soon to be a usual spot for us.
