My Sister, Brother in Law, and little niece came into town and what better way to celebrate then some French Gourmet food by Chef Thomas Keller. We went to Bouchon (http://www.bouchonbistro.com/) at the Venetian. I walk by it a few times a week and it smells soooooo good so I figure it would be a fabulous place to dine at. Boy I was right! The wait staff was super friendly and spot on. Top notch service and great tasting food cant go wrong.
My brother in law and I ordered the same thing. "Steak Frites" - Pan seared prime flatiron served with maitre d'hotel butter and French fries. Great minds and hungry stomachs think alike. The steak was cooked to perfection and the herb butter on top enhances the flavor. Of course the fries were crispy and delicious.
My date ordered the "Plat de Cotes de Porc" - slow cooked (72 hours) pork short ribs with red wine braised cabbage and creamy yellow corn polenta.
My sister ordered the "Maules au Safran et a la Moutarde" - Maine Bouchot mussels steamed in white wine, mustard and saffron, served with French fries.
For dessert, we had the special "Bouchons" - Brownie cakes with 3 types of ice cream. We also tried the Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee. Both were excellent.
