. "An award winning dining experience that will leave you sated and infinitely satisfied!\n\nAs soon as we stepped inside the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by the restaurant manager who proceeded to lead us to our seats by the window. \nLocated inside the newly erected Augustus tower of Caesar's Palace, the restaurant embraced a contemporary elegance that was refined yet simple and unfussy. With warm tones from the rich wood panels, ceilings that soared high up, and large glass paneled windows with a peek a boo view of the Bellagio fountains, the ambiance was nothing less than magnificent!\n \nThe sommelier was helpful and knowledgeable as he started us with some bubbly and as soon as I saw a bottle of vintage Krug, I knew I was in for a treat!\n\nThe server was equally friendly and suggested The Chef's Signature Tasting Menu, which showcased the restaurant's acclaimed dishes. Frankly, It goes without saying I went with the chef's signature tasting menu. When in Rome, right folks?\n\nAmuse Bouches\n\nFoie gras with black truffle\nCrisp toastettes pierced together with creamy smooth foie gras and irresistible black truffle was a decadent play of flavors and textures in the mouth. \n\nParmesan waffle\nLight fragrant and perfectly crisp and a delightful start to a sumptuous meal.\n\nCold zuchini soup with diced Radish & celery seed powder - very refreshing with a pleasant bite from the diced radishes\n\nFingerling potatoes with cream cheese and ham and topped with watercress. A charming little surprise that came with the cold zucchini soup. This accompaniment rounded out our amuse plates wonderfully but something was telling me it probably wasn't the last surprise of the evening!\n\nFirst Course\n\nHeirloom tomatoes wedges with watermelon and tomato gelee - refreshing and vibrant! the addition of the frozen tomato added just enough saltiness to the sweet heirloom tomatoes and the addition of the crisp basil was surprisingly delightful!\n\nSurprise #2 A tomato tartar topped with a pomegranate gelee and basil drops was lightly flavorful and beautifully plated.\n\n2nd dish\n\nColors of caviar - elegant and perfectly composed with layers of complex flavors and rich textures that paired beautifully with the champagne and meant to be savored slowly\n\n3rd dish\n\nFish with ratatouille - Perfectly cooked, and the fish was imported from the southeast of France...Si Bon! Presented with its natural jus foam, the flesh was supple and soft to the touch with my fork. The ratatouille added the perfect amount of rustic flavor to this light yet incredibly flavorful fish\n\n4th dish\nFoie Gras - Considering its recent ban in California, I have found my new mecca for foie gras...Vegas baby! Served with a side of duck jus in a shot glass steeped in chopped fresh beets, green tea with crispy rice, the foie gras was absolute perfection. It was decadently rich and the orange zest cleansed the palate perfectly! Without a doubt, one of my favorite dishes of the evening!\n\n5th\nBlack Truffle Soup - served with a warm buttery brioche that tasted like a flaky pastry. We were encouraged to dip the brioche into the velvety smooth soup. Infused with an incredibly rich depth of flavor imparted from the black truffle shavings and Parmesan flakes, this well composed soup was absolutely sublime and left my taste buds dancing long after i finished it!\n\n6th dish\nFilet mignon tenderloin with bone marrow was simply exquisite. The filet was insanely tender and very flavorful. The bone marrow that topped the filet was buttery soft and paired nicely with the filet. The shoulder cut of beef wrapped in delicate ribbons of carrot exhibited a briny flavor that added an earthy element to the dish, as well.\n\nDesserts\n\nDessert Amuse Bouche - Apricot sorbet and with diced apricot. Tart, refreshing, and an excellent palate cleanser\n\nCoconut 6 ways - An splendid little dessert with an interesting mix of textures that made it a sheer joy to eat!\n\nChocolate ganache with praline cream. Divine & a chocolate lover's dream come true!\n\nEverything ended with a citrusy sorbet with creme fraiche as a final palate cleanser...\n\nBut our sweet journey didn't end there! A large dessert cart was then rolled out for us to choose to our heart's content. We went with a variety of the server's tempting suggestions and then came the cheese cart! Seriously, the dinner lasted over 3 hours, but i hardly felt the time pass because i was enjoying myself so much!\n\nAt the end of the meal, we were greeted by the chef and left with complementary muffins to enjoy the following morning.\n\nIn short, the wait staff was kind courteous and very informative. Food was brought out at a very good pace and we never felt rushed or felt like we waited forever between dishes.\n\nI would highly recommend Guy Savoy for any special occasion. It will leave you with an unforgettable experience that you will cherish for years to come.\n\nHappy Eats!"^^ . "38"^^ . . "2012-08-05T00:00:00"^^ . . "41"^^ . "5"^^ . "52"^^ .
