We were invited to this restaurant by some local Vegas friends and family of ours who "swore" this place was great. So we went. This restaurant falls into the "you'll get me one time and one time only" category for me.
This one is located in the Paris hotel. Maybe a good idea to put a "name" brand on a restaurant. This hotel needs it for sure. Any foot traffic through that hotel is a plus. But this isn't a review about Paris Hotel...
The design is nice. The hostess explain to you when you are walking through that this is the "vision of Gordon Ramsey" and some hanging mess of a thing is Gordon Ramseys' hand movement when he is preparing the food or something. I don't know. Real real REAL cheesey to hear.
Anyway, we got sat down in a booth. Nice layout, nice décor. Whatever.
Ordered the food. I don't recall everything we had. there was 4 of us. I know I had the "world famous" beef wellington, the signature dish. Everyone raving about it, suggesting it to me. Ok I got it. I must say...I guess it is a taste you need to acquire because I thought it tasted junky. I did not like the smell, the flavor or the texture of the dish at all. to save face and be polite I did not send it back, I powered through it and let the rest of the party enjoy their food.
I passed on going to Lawrys for this :(
Anyway, the food wasn't all to bad. I just really didn't like that dish.
The one thing that REALLY got me, that no one noticed until I brought it up to my group was the waiters pour the water into your glass using a designer carafe...but the problem is they rub the carafe on the top of your drinking glass. they are doing this to every single person they pour water for. this is to prevent drips on the table or backsplash. if you didn't notice it, watch for it. every single time our waiter poured us water, he would touch or rub the top of our water glass with the bottle of water. the problem is, he is walking around to other tables doing the exact same thing. and what is happening when you do that?
anyway. 2 stars. that's all they get. the appetizers were good if I remember and desert was ok. my order was garbage. zero chance I will go back.
