| - I can't believe I didn't write a review before! My sister and I L.O.V.E this restaurant. Every time we're in town (we live in LA) this is a must for us ... we used to come at least once for lunch and once for dinner - however they stopped serving lunch except for Fridays :( It's a bit off the strip but so well worth it ... everyone MUST eat here!!! I swear, I died and went to heaven!! Don't let the strip mall fool ya, this is by far my FAVE restaurant EVER!!
We always do either the pre fix menu or the tasting ($55 per person). Love that Wednesdays is "ladies night" and ladies get 1/2 off! Oh, and if you sit at the bar, they have a different tapas menu which is aaaaaaamazing!! The food is superb, the staff is top notch (we love that one of the waiters always remembers us! haha makes us feel like we're at home!).
If you've read my reviews, you know I eat ... a lot!! hahah So my sis and I both did the prefix .. we split our 1st dish - she ordered the beef carpaccio (to die for ... we've been to France and this is served slightly different with blue cheese, apples and candied walnuts) and I ordered the twice baked souffle (our first time ordering this and it was delish! wild mushrooms with a beautiful parmesan souffle - so light and fluffy). She ordered the special appetizer beef tartar (we split it as our 2nd course) ... ohhhhhh myyyyyyy goshhhhhh, I know some people get creeped out with raw beef, but if you enjoy it and it's on the menu for the night - you have to try it ... you won't be disappointed ... i think it became my fave appetizer from here!! For our entree, she had the lamb (cooked perfectly, so tasty and love the sauce) - I had the special salmon that had a bit of a citrus-y glaze to it, over a bed of apple slaw. I ordered the special dessert - blackberry cobbler that we split, unfortunately this was the least favorite thing I've had here ... I like my cobblers to have a thick crumbly biscuit/topping and this just had little chunks of dough mixed in and the blackberries were a bit overpowering for this dish since the seeds get quite chewy. So, since we didn't want to end a fabulous meal with an average dessert, we ordered another one to split! :) Our fave dessert is the ice box cooler but they didn't have it that night so we had the trio of sorbets - they have the best sorbets and ice creams!!
I have never been disappointed with this place and highly recommend it!! This makes me want to change any other place I've rated a 5 to a 4! It's as good as it gets, fine dining, great ambiance and a very reasonable price. If I lived in Vegas, I'd go every Wednesday for ladies night 1/2 off!!
