Overall RM was a 3 star, but one dish added a star all on its own!
The energy in the restaurant was quite low for a weekend night and I was surprised that it never got really busy at any point. I guess the recession is really hurting them bad, especially in the upstairs restaurant.
We started our evening upstairs in the lounge area with some oysters and champagne. The oysters were great but over priced at $3.75 each.
We moved to our table and both tried the tasting menu which was probably under priced at $75/pp. They had a nice selection of supplemental dishes at $15/each. Most of the dishes were good, not great. HOWEVER, there was one dish you must try and may be worth a trip on its own...Hot and Cold Foie Gras a la Japonne! Of course it was a supplement, but it was so worth it. One side of the dish was foie gras served on top of crispy rice. The other side had a mousse foie gras with uni (sea urchin). We almost fought for each bite of this one! My wife is lucky I'm a gentleman once in a while. : )
Other standouts were the "Steak and Potatoes" and the "Green Eggs and Ham." Unfortunately they don't even garner much attention after the foie gras dish.
Service was polite all night yet not stuffy. Overall there is a lot of competition in Vegas and I will most likely try some other stand-bys and new places before going back to RM, but damn that one dish was good.
