| - So, I finally forked over the big bucks to dine at E. And what can I say... a very fantastic experience. I have dined at Jaleo several times, food was always good, but service was always a bit to Vegas (I'm above all, union mentality, if you don't spend more than $500 tonight I don't need to service your table attitude).
But here at E - it was very relaxed yet refined. This is the best food experience in Vegas - bar none. I'm not going to give the full run down - but, I'm already planning to go back in the next few months.
If you are not a foodie, or if you are going with someone that is not a foodie - don't go, you will only ruin it for the people that truly will appreciate this kind of food and experience. That was my only complaint of the night - food, amazing; service, top notch; ambience, second-to-none; guests - sucked. There are 8 seats, 2 seatings a night - so the other 6 guests we dined with were not foodies, many didn't eat their food and didn't talk to each other or interact with the staff. So the next time I go, I'm making sure that I know all 8 people to make the experience that much better. So, if you never had the chance to dine at El Bulli, have not dined at Alinea - this is your next best. What a gem for Vegas to have - and very few people know of it. Yes, you can hit up the mansion at MGM for a 3 star Michelin experience with union servers running bread carts into your chair and have bussers spilling things or you can come to E and enjoy a show you can only get in a handful of restaurants in the world.
