| - Rose Rabbit Lie is an experience NOT to be missed. I hoped for something magical and received something that far surpassed my expectations.
We were led through a hexagonal room, reminiscent of the elevator inside the Haunted House at Disneyland, and through two doors. We were greeted by a dining room boasting a full mural of the Garden of Earthly Delights and other spectacular aesthetics.
We received TREMENDOUS SERVICE from ALEXANDER, enjoyed great food & cocktails, and excitement from tap dancing twins, "Ben Franklin" + his glass harmonica, aerialists, a furry, dancers, and a creepy silent corpse-like bride among other visual felicities- all of which exceeded my expectations for the evening and I hope yours.
COCKTAILS
RRL is totally on-board with the pre-Prohibition, craft cocktail movement and I couldn't be more pleased. The coolest offering and smartest move was purchasing their signature glass flask (which you can take home). I picked the Jack Rose which happened to be THE best Jack Rose I've ever had. The large flask served 6 and a bit.
FOOD
Dinner was served tapas style and delicious. I was in charge of ordering and took our group on a tour of the menu from "herbivores delights", "from the sea", "Plates around the table", "pearls from a spoon". We had a 10pm seating, so the "Feast" section was ignored. Mind you, the Feast section has 3 items ranging from $95 for a free range chicken to a whole roasted giant Alaskan red king crab at $1200.
We ate:
{Herbivores Delight}
GOUGERES with truffle mornay
POACHED WHITE ASPARAGUS with a bacon vinaigreette and fried egg
CAULIFLOWER and GREEN APPLE VELOUTE with brown butter and tarragon Chantilly
HEIRLOOM TOMATOES with burrata
BEETS & AVOCADO in a red wine cream with raspberry, arugula and fried shallots
{From the Sea}
CRISPY OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER w house cured bacon, spinach, chartreuse, and bacon dust
MARINATED BIG EYE TUNA with blood oranges, cucumbers and pickles chiles
LOBSTER COCKTAIL coconut emulsion, water chestnuts, lemongrass and mango
{Plates Around the Table}
FOIE GRAS TORCHON served with duck fat fries
BONE MARROW
SHORT RIB STROGANOFF
DUCK CONFIT PASTA
FROG LEGs with a cilantro lime chimichurri
{Pearls for a Spoon}
CAVIAR FLATBREAD with a 63 degree egg, bacon and thyme
DESSERT
THE most delicious variety of cake-like cookies that were served in container shaped like Colonel Sanders. I had hoped for a lion with a crown, but apparently other guests had broken them and they didn't have anymore.
PRICING
The above sections range from $5 to $36 per dish
The Feast section has 3 items ranging from $95 for a free range chicken to a whole roasted giant Alaskan red king crab at $1200.
The great thing about the 10pm seating was that once we were done, RRL started their midnight show. After the midnight show, the place turns into a nightclub.
Definitely check it out if you're in Vegas and want what I feel is a real Vegas experience.
