| - Joel Robuchon or Guy Savoy?
For us, Guy Savoy :)
How did we decide? It really came down to the menus. Yes, we analyzed each menu down to the T and ultimately decided Guy Savoy had everything we loved. Here was our chance to finally try it since my bf has wanted to dine at Guy Savoy in Paris. Instead, we opted for Guy Savoy's Le Chiberta. We LOVED it so we knew Guy Savoy in Las Vegas was the right choice.
DECOR: Located away from all the clamor, Guy Savoy was the opposite of what I expected. When you think of Las Vegas, you think of fancy, colorful, exquisite (practically gaudy) decor. However, when we walked in, everything was very minimal. It felt like we were inside a villian's lair - dark, gray space, tall, never-ending ceilings and a long sexy fire place in the Bubble Bar. However, simple colorful artworks hung on the walls and beautiful bright colorful crystal ware sat on top of the tables. It also felt depressing but I absolutely loved it. Like a mini getaway from the craziness of Vegas.
Menu Prestige, 7/31/10 (MY BIRTHDAY, BABY)
Tomatoes in Iced Gelee - I have never, NEVER in my life had a favorite dish that was not some sort of meat. This was my absolute favorite dish. Though the menu online says oysters, I didn't mind at all. I can't believe how well this dish was made. Every slice of tomato was delicate and full of flavor. It's like each slice had the flavors of 10 fully ripped tomatoes. Delicious.
Langoustines in "Cold Steam" - This dish was not only very tasty but visually stunning. After the dishes were explained, they added liquid to steam the lobster meat right in front of us!
Crispy Sea Bass - I don't even like fish but this dish was so good. Light, perfectly cooked, moist with a flavorful crispy skin.
Colors of Caviar - Absolutely beautiful, both presentation and taste.
Foie Gras - They brought out these bloated pouches, poked them right in front of us and inside was our steamed foie gras! It came with these bitter greens which I didn't care for. But foie gras? YES.
Artichoke & Black Truffle Soup - I was sooo excited for this dish but it ended up falling a little lat for me. My bf soaked up each drop with the croissant-like bread that came with it. Woody flavor with a rich artichoke taste. Salty from the pieces of parmesan cheese. Good, not mindblowing.
Sweetbreads - We actually ended up switching out the veal chop dish for the sweetbreads. LOVE sweetbreads! Lightly crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. So tender. Wonderful light sauce. Think high end chicken nuggets.
The Vegetable - A few carrots and such. Nothing great but excellent plating...and a breather from what's to come.
Fine Cheeses - WOOOOOOW. Cheese cart was awesome! I had 3 blue cheeses and 3 mild cheeses. Absolutely love the blue cheeses. YUMMY!!
Strawberries - Who doesn't like strawberries? Little cubes of strawberry "jello" and basil...so pretty and delicious.
Sorbet - Peach something. Heaven in my mouth. Soooooo goood.
Chocolate - They surprised me with a birthday dessert - dark chocolate and hazelnut. YES, soooo good. Their dessert cart was CRAZY good. I had 3 pieces and the server insisted I have more!! Rice puddings, sorbets and truffles of all sizes.
Wine - Their wine list was as thick as 2.5 Harry Potter books. Kid you not, that thing had its own stool. We chose a pouilly fume and the server was so kind, he kept the wine label for us in the form of a card!!
Breads - Yes, Guy Savoy has its own bread cart and bread pairing if you're interested!
Service was perfect. Very accommodating, helpful, kind, warm and friendly. Our main server (a very tall man) was so sweet! I wish I could remember his name but honestly, it was so unbelievably good. I just might return. Besides, their Bubble Bar serves the same food at a fraction of the price!
Guy Savoy made my birthday perfect! Oh yea, and my boyfriend too :)
