On the first night in Vegas, the gay boyfriend and I decided to try Fleur de Lys which I've heard a lot about lately.
We were there really early, before 5:30. The hostess seemed slightly confused as to why we were there. She asked if we wanted tapas or the full dinner menu.
We came in to try the Lion King Prix Fixe which looked good. You had a choice of soup or salad, salmon or braised short ribs and a selection of chocolate for dessert. It was $55.
I started out with the guava caipirinha which at $15 could have been a bigger glass. It was tasty though.
I ordered the soup and short ribs. The gay boyfriend also had the soup and chose the salmon. The soup was a creamy onion that was delicious with this little morsel of pork. Oh, I could have had 10 of these tiny bites of heavenly oink oink. But alas, it was just the one tidbit.
Now, usually I worry about short ribs never being tender enough but Fleur de Lys was great. Every bite was delicious. I also loved the leeks in it.
Finally just as we didn't think we could eat any more came our dessert. We were each given a tiny shot glass of a peanut butter shake, a chocolate fondant cake and a decently-sized scoop of Bailey's ice cream on a really nice thin crisp of chocolate. I can't decide if I liked my short ribs more or the dessert. Let's just say I loved both equally.
Service was very good and they kept a careful eye on our waters, never letting them go even half-way empty. I enjoyed the complimentary bread as well. I wish we could have had a more leisurely meal but we had things to run off to.
