| - Recently went to Vegas on vacation with my roommate. While most of our time was spent in the casinos and lounging poolside, we did take some time to enjoy some of the most amazing food in Vegas. Though I'm not a huge fan of chinese food, Pearl was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to.
The food: Absolutely amazing. We split a chef's tasting menu as well as an additional entree (thankfully, they didn't charge shared plate fees), which was great in itself because normally if one person gets the tasting menu, your whole table is in. Every single item that came to our table was top notch. Even the water tasted better! If I didn't know better, I'd say they were drugging us to like the food. The chocolate lava raspberry something kind of cake with gold garnishment at the top was to die for. I was extremely stuffed at the end of the meal, but I would've napped and eaten dinner #2 there if the restaurant wasn't closing for the evening.
The Service: Some of the most attentive staff I've ever experienced. I've been in top restaurants where the servers are over-the-top attentive, practically feeding you your food and never leaving your side. I'm not a fan of that level of service, but Pearl was the perfect balance; allowing you to converse with your dinner group while still always having full drinks and plates cleared.
The Bill: Was a little pricey, but worth every dime. I think we had two drinks each, a shared appetizer, the tasting platter and entree, and shared dessert, and it cost us about $100 each. If I lived in Vegas, I'd go broke dining at Pearl- but it would be totally worth it.
