| - So I decided that for my 100th review, I had to choose someplace special and meaningful. What is more important to the Vegas culinary scene than Wolfgang Puck's eponymous Spago? I mean, he paved the way for chefs who were skeptical about opening restaurants in Las Vegas. We owe this man everything; Las Vegas would not be a culinary destination if not for him.
Spago is THE restaurant to go to, really for any occasion, you can't go wrong. I have been here for both lunch and dinner and each experience was top-notch, although in the evening in the formal dining area it is more private and romantic.
I have tried multiple items on the menus over the years, steaks, chicken, fish pastas, etc. and everything was wonderful. You cannot go wrong with the menu, everything is delicious. All of the desserts are great too. Almost each time I've gone I've gotten free dessert since I am a local, score! In fact, I once went for lunch with four other friends, and although I was the only local, they brought out 3-4 desserts for free anyway.
As you can imagine, the service is impeccable. The waiters describe the food in such a manner that you literally drool. They are super knowledgeable about the menu and the ingredients and on top of that everybody is very friendly.
Whenever out-of-towners ask me for a recommendation on where to eat; Spago is always on my top five list, regardless of the occasion. It is great for lunch to people watch and at dinner the ambiance is just spectacular. And on top of that the food is great!
I tip my hat to Chef Puck and Executive Chef Eric Klein. Bravo indeed.
