| - A is for Ambience. Cool lighting fixtures, mature modern decor, and generously open rooms that flow gracefully one to another set to a smooth soundtrack of hip hop classics make this spot a hidden winner. The pawn shop entrance is a fun decoy, but I feel like it could be executed just a tad bit better.
Drinks are slightly overthought here. Even the bevvies on the "sweet" side tasted like plants. And I tasted a lot of them. Think hipster mixologist with curled moustache and a tight vest making them. (but in reality it was a hot chick with long, pretty hair and a short dress)
So many food options, and my group tried most of them. 3 out of 6 of us have food allergies, and staff was only semi-attentive to that when bringing dishes to the table. We were constantly asking "Does this have nuts?"
Most of our selections were decadent and well executed, however a few details went missed here and there like burnt burger buns. The tomato tartare seemed to be a crowd favorite, but the Thai chicken was super bland. A dessert platter came out aiming to please, but the L.E.S. donuts had a choking amount of sugar on them. Apparently "Les is more" here.
High profile hideaway with high prices to match. Wouldn't really consider this fine dining, but it is an experience to have at least once while in Vegas. Good try, Cosmo. Definitely fits the brand.
