| - I had dinner at The Barrymore last night and it was the best meal I think I've ever had in Las Vegas, and that is saying a lot. It's also reasonably priced for this level of dining. My fiance and I each had an entree, a drink, we split a salad, appetizer and a desert and the bill was just under $100. The food was perfection--nicely balanced and not overdone and very creative. The best thing at The Barrymore may be free: the bread they serve. I especially loved the bacon and cherry roll.
We started off with the grilled artichoke--a must have. We just had the regular house salad, and I wish all house salads everywhere had this much creativity put into them. The dressing is light and savory, and there was also shaved fennel and some of the freshest grape tomatoes I've eaten in Vegas.
I had the swordfish, which was $22 and served on a bed of fresh fava beans with Brussel sprouts. Everything was cooked just right. My fiance had a special: pasta bolognese. The pasta is fresh and the sauce, authentic.
They also have a good wine list and affordable wines by the glass, but if you like the hard stuff, try their specialty drink, The Barrymore, which is what my fiance had. I had the Au Bon Climate pinot noir, which was about $12-definitely worth it.
We loved it all: the decor, ambiance wine, service and the price. I looking forward to many happy dining experiences at The Barrymore.
