After watching a couple seasons of Gordon Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen, it was a wonderful experience dining at the bar seating at L'Atelier. We had a wonderful 3 course + dessert. When seated at the bar, you watch the whole kitchen in action. We heard the head chef communicate to the chefs in French, plate the food, and run around to greet the guests at the front. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable. I actually would place this experience on par with the one I had at the 3star Michelin Joël Robuchon. Although that was a few years ago.
They were able to rush our order to get us to our show in time on a Saturday night. Our dinner took about 1.5 hours. Don't make the same mistake we did. This is a lovely experience and it shouldn't be rushed!
The food was impeccable. They were even able to accommodate my dairy allergy. The server made a funny comment at the beginning: "allergic to butter?? That's a bit difficult. It's a staple in French food" but they were still able to deliver delicious food without this important piece!
Highly recommended. Best meal in Vegas this trip.
