| - Guy Savoy represents fine dining perfection in every sense of the word. To even attempt to describe the elegance of this meal would far exceed the Yelp word limit. My wife and I had the "Prestige" tasting menu which interestingly, is no longer available. Check out their website to see their updated tasting menu options. Here's a few random thoughts about Guy Savoy:
1. The service is the best we've ever experienced in a restaurant. Absolutely impeccable. Serious but warm at the same time. We especially loved how one of the waiters kept lapsing into French while talking with us.
2. The carts (champagne, bread, cheese, dessert) are ridiculous. They pair a difference delicious bread with every course! The cheese and dessert carts have about 25 choices on each and you can have as much as you want. Of course I had to try the Epoisses which is one of the most pungent cheeses in the world. Just by taking the lid off the box you get blasted with a huge acetone smell that knocks you back and burns your sinuses!
3. This place is very, very, very expensive (more than Alinea). I'm glad we did it once, but I'm not sure I'd ever do it again. You can roll comparable dinners in NYC for significantly less money. Vegas is great, but it does break the bank.
Overall, we had a lovely dinner at Guy Savoy. Easily one of the best dining experiences in Vegas if you're in town. It's too expensive to specifically come to Vegas to eat here because you'll find better value in other cities. However, if you hit it big in the casinos, this would be a great place to drop a little extra change.
