| - French Chef of the century for under $100 a person? Sign me up! (okay, so I went over that number but you "could" feasibly eat here for under $100!)
I saw at the bar which was fun to watch the detail the chefs put into each and every dish. It was a hard debate over whether to order a la carte and try all the items that sounded amazingly scrumptious, or start with the 5 course pre-fixe. I wasn't particularly hungry when I walked in, but one whiff of the dishes served next to me and I chose the 5 course pre-fixe and let the eating begin.
- The Foie gras parfait was delicious. The parmesan foam complimented and didn't overpower the foie gras at all, and it was a sizable portion for a small amuse bouche.
- The snapper with lemon vinaigrette was a feast for the eyes as much as it was for the taste buds. Loved the colorful sprouts and flora sprinkled on the snapper. Not uniquely different from other similar raw, thinly sliced, and marinated raw fish appetizers I've tried at other establishments, but definitely delicious.
- Pumpkin Gnocchi with chestnut and foie gras. This has to be my favorite dish from dinner and what makes it so I must come back to L'Atelier, and come back soon before this seasonal dish is taken off the menu. The soft gnocchi bursts with the flavorful sweetness of freshly roasted pumpkin, paired with the richness of foie gras and complimented by the nutty scent of chestnut. This dish was so good, the guests next to me at the bar ordered one as well as soon as they saw mine arrive. And it was so good, I think I could have eaten three dishes of this all at once and not be tired of it.
- Suckling pig with mushroom. I may have been overstuffed at this point given this was technically a late second dinner of the night, but besides the unique presentation of this dish, the crispy crust on the outside, and the sweet aroma of sucking pig served with wild mushrooms... Hmmm... I think the more I recall the dish the better I seem to remember it.
- Liquid cheesecake with pineapple. I am 100% certain this dish is called something else, and definitely more eloquently described, but you probably won't get a more accurate description than my liquid cheesecake with pineapple. Beautiful presentation, and very tasty till the last bite.
Service was fantastic, the posh but casual atmosphere was just right for a post-work dinner, the location was convenient within MGM Grand, the price was more than reasonable, and oh, the bread is fresh, crisp, and moist. There were so many more dishes I saw others order and wanted to try off of the a la carte menu. The guests next to me and I exchanged notes on what we ate throughout our entire dinner, and I know there will definitely be a return visit hopefully very, very soon.
