Spago has been credited for starting the fine dining trend in Vegas. This is probably my favorite place to eat in Las Vegas. I've been here several times now, and I've never had a bad meal here. I love that you have the option of sitting in the 'patio area' and enjoying their more casual 'cafe' menu or sitting in the dining room and enjoying the regular Spago restaurant. Both are great options with their own pros.
The patio area is FANTASTIC for people watching. The menu is always changing, and the food is always great. The wood fire pizzas are always a great choice. They're perfect for sharing between 2 people. The fried calamari is also very delicious. The service is wonderful., and they also have one of the yummiest bread baskets ever!
The menu for the dining room is pricier and fancier. The food and ambiance is great. It is much quieter than the patio; perfect for special occasions! The dishes are very innovative and delicious. This menu changes daily. I haven't seen the same menu twice. I believe they also offer a tasting menu in the dining room for the foodies who want to thoroughly experience all that Spago has to offer.
The desserts here are WONDERFUL. Kudos to the pastry chef! Definitely save room for dessert when dining at Spago. Last time I was there I had the Lemon-Blueberry baked Alaska. It was amazing! I loved the flavors! Also, while all the dishes on the regular menu are prepared with peanut oil, many of the dessert menus are not. I came here with a friend with a peanut allergy, and instead of ordering a real meal, she just went to town with the dessert menu :)
