| - First of all, not worth it at all ESPECIALLY ordering the chef's signature tasting menu which cost about 100 a pop. To start, we received a beautiful cut of hamachi sashimi with ponzu sauce and jalapenos on a bed seaweed. Now, I like starting off my meal with sashimi but at a chinese restaurant? They say they are french influenced but sashimi with ponzu sauce still doesn't make sense! However, I admit the sashimi was delicious although they put on a bit too much ponzu sauce.
Second, I received two pan-fried duck rolls which were the highlight of the entire night. They basically just took their peking duck and peking duck pancakes and rolled up the duck with cilantro and shallots. The cilantro was delicious inside and a very nice flavor but again, wheres the Chinese or even French influence?! the plating was minimal, simply the two duck rolls with a sweet thick sauce resembling a hosin sauce drizzled on top.
Third, I got a grouper wrapped a few times in a paper made from rice. It was good but had a very thick sauce accompanying it that you just couldn't get rid off.
Fourth was a pallet cleanser of lychee sorbet. Just a spoonful of sorbet on a plate with a mint leaf. This really had me asking why i just laid down $100 for this dinner. After finishing this in about 3 bites, i received the worst course ever.
Fifth was simply awful and suddenly reminded me of denny's and panda express combined. I received a korabuta pork chop which should've delicious but was terribly overcooked and almost completely dry inside. The whole thing was drenched in a terribly sweet and thick sweet and sour sauce which reminded me exactly of panda's orange chicken sauce. On the side was some bok choy and grilled pineapple...I really considered sending this back but figured I'd only eat a little bit and go out to get some decent food afterward.
Last was dessert which was a random assortment of awful desserts. The only decent was was an awkwardly small dish of coconut pudding on a huge plate to fit the assortment of desserts. Next to it was a spoonful of standard mango sorbet. There were some sour berries to the side and finally a large cup/bowl of rice pudding covered with a layer of guava jam and topped with diced kiwi, cantaloupe, and pineapple (random, I know). The rice pudding was bad, the guava terribly sweet and the fruit on top wasn't ripe so it left a very sour taste in my mouth.
All in all, if i had received the first 3 courses twice, I wouldve given this place 4 stars so I recommend if you are in vegas save your money and go to Joel Robuchon in the MGM and not the Latellier directly next to it. They recently started 2,3,4, and 6 course tasting menus that include the famous bread and homemade dessert carts starting from 100 to about 160, definitely worth it and of course they menu de degustacion for about 350 or so.
