  • This was clearly and bluntly a disappointing experience for an allegedly three star restaurant. My wife and I have experienced far better restaurants that were far from being hailed as the navel of French cuisine but certainly better in terms of quality of service and quality of the food. Spend your money elsewhere in one of the countless other signature restaurants in town, this one is probably just living of its past glories (if there have ever been any) Location: the restaurant is situated literally off the gambling floor and is only separated from the hustling noise by a single glassed door. For that very reason of being close hurly-burly our dinner experience got the worse of a cowboy country band party that was taking place a few feet from the entrance. as such, the customary piano tones were more than disrupted by the hammering drums of the party next door. The place is brightly illuminated by a crystal chandelier that is not only the center piece of the restaurant but also setting the room in a bright light that is unheard of for fine dining. You can easily read your newspaper but a romantic dining experience did not emerge given the football atmosphere the light created. Guests are seated on plush sofas that on first sight looked inappropriate to sit through a whole evening but turned out to be more than comfortable. Service: When we entered the restaurant we were rushed to hour table and seated. Our coats where only collected upon our friendly request that we would like to take them off. Our aperitif was served with a benevolent and friendly "how are you doing" but clearly not appropriate for this setting. Our waiter seemed blasé and almost entirely after the amuse bouche. The bread service was taken over by a different waiter later on which was well executed. Upon leaving the restaurant there was not hostess or service to deliver our coats as the entry hall was left unattended. Food: Without going into too much detail, we had a three course prix fixe menu that was clearly lacking any inspiration. The signature dish (mashed potatoes) contained far too much butter, which naturally resulted in very creamy consistency but demanded the company of bread. The use of brown butter for a quality purée has apparently not made it to this restaurant. The pork iberico has however been excellent. Verdict: the service and quality of the food is clearly overrated. There are much better restaurants in town that rightfully carry a collection of Michelin stars. This restaurant is obviously living of its past substance and is far from being innovative. A clear no-go
