The atmosphere/decor was great. It had a very modern with a touch of sophistication feel.
I'm giving this restaurant a 1 star because I got food poisoning, which was a real shame because the sides were excellent.
My two friends and I started with freshly baked bread in a mini cast iron pot, covered in bleu cheese butter with a chive-olive oil sauce. Amazing!
We skipped the appetizer because we didn't want to fill up before our steaks came.
I ordered a 10 oz filet, medium-rare with foie gras on top. The filet was pretty tough and it was hard to cut into. It which I found odd for a filet, but it was cooked correctly (med-rare). The foie gras was OK - only 'OK' because I was expecting a nice buttery, melt in your mouth kind of texture; and frankly, this wasn't it.
As for sides: \
- the creamy mash potatoes were standard.
- the Brussels sprouts were fabulous. It had small chunks of bacon which gave it a step in front of the game.
Too bad it didn't all get digested. The next morning, I woke up puking everything back up, as well as it was coming out the behind from diarrhea. The only thing I can think of was food poisoning from either the steak or foie gras because I shared everything else with my two friends and they were just fine. It was a miserable 36 hours, which included going to the bathroom every 30 min. in the first 24 hours. AND I had to fly back home to San Jose, Ca in between bathroom breaks.
I'm sorry if I was too harsh on this. But the fact that I got soo sick tells me the standards for this restaurant (located in the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas) was not prestige nor up to par. It was the worst ... and i mean THE WORST... food poisoning experience I've ever had.
