Sit at the bar, do the tasting menu with wine pairing, marvel at the food preparation, and sit back and enjoy some of the finest food on the planet. I've also dined at L'Atelier in Tokyo and had a similar experience. Biggest take away experience from my last visit - the cream, butter whipped potatoes - certainly a cholesterol nightmare, but man, total nirvana. There are tables off one side of the bar, but to me the experience of this place is sitting at the bar (in Tokyo there is only bar seating at the Roppongi Hills location). The tasting menu here varies and it's always an adventure. We are going back to Vegas in October '09 and L'Atelier is on the list of place to dine. A true five-star experience.
