Don't consider myself a foodie though I know some of the big names after reading "Kitchen Confidential" and the like. Went to Vegas for a weekend and knew I had to hit at least ONE famous-chef run place. Since we were staying at the Venetian and the prices weren't too obscene, Bouchon was our choice.
We had dinner on a Wednesday. Pretty quiet, presumably due to the mid week timing, and the economy. Our waiter was French and charming. I had the steak frites (had to try this famous classic) and my tablemate had the lamb. For appetizers, we had french onion soup and a mixed green salad. Desert was lemon tart and the special of the night, little brownie "bouchands" topped with a small scoop of homemade icecream. To summarize the dinner: delicious. I thought the steak was a bit bland for my liking but everything else was so perfect, I didn't care.
We returned a couple of days later for brunch and had an equally blissful experience. Quiche for one of us and the omelette of the day for the other. Just delicious and filling without being heavy. The bellinis were a nice refresher to complete the meal.
Overall, a complete pleasure. Wish it was closer to home (too bad the Bouchon in Northern Calif apparently is suffering many more negative reviews than the Vegas one, unfortunately.) This is worth anyone's time and money, foodie or not.
