| - French food can tend to get overly complicated and annoying, however this classic provincal french restaurant is perfect in everyway.
It opens only for dinner @ 530PM Located on E. Sahara, we were greeted by the head waiter and then allowed to chose where we wanted to sit, we chose a quiet knook that was hidden for an extra romantic touch. Le Pamplemousse only serves wine, champagne and beer.
We ordered the baked goat cheese in a puff pastry and the tomato basil soup along with this Frank Sinatra favorite, panchetta with fettucini alfredo (not french but great with the pancetta). The soup was better than I ever thought, I hate tomato soup but this was great. The goat cheese was very good also.
Our main course was a peppered filet and crispy duck leg confit with duck breast. My boyfriend couldn't finish eating the entire filet, which is usually unheard of and the duck was falling off the bone (in a good way) and cooked perfectly with a great reduction sauce to accompany.
For dessert our server, Evan, brought us out a grapefruit (pamplemousse) sorbet which had champange in it and also a creme brulee for my birthday. Sadley they didn't sing, but it was fantastic anyway. It felt as if all the creme brulee I had ever had were a joke compared to the one at Pamplemousse...so amazing. Also to top it off, we ordered the Lava cake, which was also very good, per my boyfriend.
We cannot wait to go there again and eat something completely different. The wait staff is great and entertaining by telling old stories of old vegas, make sure they show you the bullet proof walls where mafia used to sit. :)
