| - Pretty good meal for the price, especially since it's at Bellagio. The restaurant is not very big and it felt really cramped in there. Tables were not spaced very far apart...I could literally TOUCH the woman sitting at the table next to ours if I reached out and I could clearly overhear the conversations at neighboring tables. I did like how the dining room looked like you were inside a circus tent.
Food portions were smallish, but that is kind of expected for a tasting menu. I actually wasn't completely full after finishing the entire 5-course meal...unfortunately, but it was still filling. The flavors were good in each dish, but nothing really special that blew my mind. Their A4 Kobe beef was the winner of the meal...closely followed by their sauteed foie gras, but beware, the small 2" by 3" piece of Kobe beef also came with an additional supplement cost of $65...
Good solid restaurant, however, the ambiance was not very romantic. It honestly felt more like a casual restaurant that served fancier food. Service was was not very personable or friendly. The servers came off aloof and very curt with their descriptions for each dish.
(The other Michelin-starred restaurant at Bellagio offers much larger portions on their tasting menu, more creative flavors, better service, ambiance with more privacy, a superb view of the fountains, but surprisingly at very similar prices).
