  • Went to Vegas just for a foodie weekend with JR as the main item on our agenda, having made reservations about a month and a half before. We had made arrangements for the limo pick up but when we went downstairs there was an MGM escalade there so we thought it might've been for us. It turned out it wasn't but the driver called the MGM and told them she'd take us over. It was kinda funny cuz we asked her if the limo was nicer and she politely said 'um, no'. She turned out to be soo right cuz the escalade was gorgeous, luxurious and brand new. We took the limo home and as many of the other reviews have said, it's a bit of a clunker...although 'free is free' I suppose. ;-) We were in awe walking through the mansion... never even knew it existed. Our hostess was wonderful and told us the history, etc. and even took some pictures of us in the atrium. The restaurant itself was no slacker either... gorgeous and all decked out in purple and pink hues. Even our table had charger plates w/pink ribbons and these cute little trinkets all over the table w/pink and diamond accents. We loved it! Then came the food.. oh, the food! I won't go into detail on each dish because I'm sure all the other reviews have covered it BUT I will just highlight my favorite dishes: The bread (yes, it's a dish!) was amazing... we each had like 5 or 6 pieces which is WAY too much but it was so hard to resist. They had this amazing bacon bread and this wonderful cheese bread... do not skip the bread cart. My fav entree was the duck with seared fois gras w/cherries and almonds. This was cooked to PERFECTION and they must've cooked the duck in the fois gras jus because it had the same wonderful flavor. It was a pretty amazing dish! The truffled langoustine ravioli was also pretty delicious.. and the most amazing part was the cabbage in the middle (shocker I know?!) but it was cooked perfectly and had this amazing savory flavor to it. I'm not a huge cabbage person but if it was always cooked like this I would be! ;-) If there was one thing that I felt was a little lackluster it was the desserts. Don't get me wrong.. they were stunning and tasty but compared to the rest of the meal they just didn't feel special enough or taste out-of-this world enough. I had the same problem at French Laundry...no wow at the end. Although the mignardise wow'd us.. faboulous selection and all soooo delicious! They also gave us this wonderful lemon cake to take home along w/a small picture book of JR, which was a really nice touch. All in all JR did not disappoint and I can see why it would be worthy of it's 3 Michelin stars. I still think the FL was a bit better but would I come back here again? In a heartbeat. ;-)
