text: sigh Oh how I wish The Barrymore was located in San Diego instead of Las Vegas I have not been this impressed with a dining establishment since I cannot remember when nnLove love love the oldschool Hollywood decor dim lighting and deep plush leather booths line the dining room The ceiling is decorated with old film reels the vibe is very retroVegas with a heavy dash of Mad Men Although we did not sit outside I caught a glimpse of fireside outdoor seating off the bar areannI admit that I had been drooling over the menu for days in anticipation of our Saturday dinner reservation So many amazing looking choices The menu read like a Hollywood AList with a high number of Oscar winnersnnInstead of giving a review for each dish I am just going to come out and say that everything that made its way to our table and into our bellies was top of the line delicious Presentation composition flavorthese dishes had it all nnOur appetizers Roasted Heirloom Beets the goat cheese frittersI die Roasted Artichokes Lobster Mac Cheese my personal Achilless heel The Caesar Salad and French Onion Soup might possibly be the average plates delivered Not bad just completely outshone by the other dishesnnDinner Diver Scallops Pan Roasted Jidori Chicken Short Rib Bourguignon Muscovy Duck Confit Bonein Aged Ribeye There was not a stinker in the lot All perfectly cooked and seasoned although I personally would prefer a tiny bit less salt it did not necessarily taste over salted nnExcellent cocktail and wine selections too The biggest star of the show had to be the service It was amazing Really was the clincher for a perfect evening They know what they are doing at The Barrymore I hope to go back again and again
