Twist continues to impress.
Contemporary dining space with illuminated glass globes suspended throughout, outstanding view of the Strip, warm and efficient service, and incredible food. What more can you ask for?
Straight to the food. The Hudson Valley foie. Presented two ways. Poached (sous-vide) served with a horseradish emulsion, tart sauerkraut and smoky Morteau sausage. A great savory balance between earthy, tart, smoky flavors all cutting the richness of the foie. Second, "nuggets" of a foie terrine "glazed" with Glenmorangie dusted with sweet and spicy gingerbread power and hazelnuts. The smoky undertones of the single malt accentuates the mineral, livery taste of the foie. Delish. Apple ice cream on the side; perfect.
The Dover sole & prawns is hard to top. The orange scented fish ("glazed" with orange cider) is brought to life by an earthy morel cream and vegetal flavors of turnips, coriander, and spinach. The addition of prawns adds sweetness and a nice oceanic flavor. Complex yet refreshing dish.
The list of great dishes goes on and on.
The degustation menus are the best way to sample Twist. Portions are scaled down so no risk of over eating (unless you have the six course grand desert). Beautiful and delicious; just remember, you've been warned.
Note for beef lovers: Twist offers the best priced Japanese A5 Wagyu steak in Vegas. Offered as a New York steak; 10 ounces, $198. Of course, eating this would be BORING.
Multiple revisits, always a twist!
