text: A girlfriend and I came in for lunch on Saturday to take advantage of the prix fixe menu they offered in support of Las Vegas Restaurant Week nnI loved the seatingreservations coordinator downstairs She checked my name in the computer confirmed to the restaurant upstairs that I was in the building and led us into the elevator It was at once very posh and attentive but cool and casual and welcoming Definitely a good startnnThe elevator opens up to the kitchen A great touch I love to see the kitchen and have a sense of what is going on with my food Walk to the right and you enter into the bar area and see the hostess desk You also see that there really is not a bad seat in the place It is tiered so as to offer as much as possible a view to every diner Great idea The decor is upscale and comfortable simple and elegant without putting off the casual dinernnWe were seated at an intimate twoperson table on the window facing the Bellagio and fountains Cest parfait Tres jolie We loved the show against a somewhat dreary day in Las Vegas the lights lit up the water and made the view and by proxy the ambiance of the restaurant that much more beautifulnnService was spectacular Everything was timed perfectly from the amuse to the apps to the entrees to desserts Wine service was expedient and attentive Everything was explained well if not a little too rehearsed we heard the same spiel over and over almost verbatim to tables around us Hint change it up a bit add some personality and personability to it Still friendly capable and humorous when appropriate everyone was on their gamennMmmmm food This is a restaurant after allnnDrinks We opted for wine by the glass but they did have some yumsounding signature cocktails for about a piece Just not worth it to me I can have three glasses of wine to your one cocktail and be happier for it Others around us were loving their drinks and I see value in that on occasion but it was something we skipped this timennAmuse a light but flavorFULL mushroom flan with a small piece of mushroom on top Savory goodness in less than a bite and one of the best fungi preparations I have had the pleasure of eating in a long timennApps The foie gras not on the LVRW menu but ordered as an extra was absolutely phenomenal Served cold it was a large thick slice straight off the liver Nothing formed or cubed or otherwise manipulated it was marbled by veins and perfect As if that is not amazing enough it was wrapped in duck prosciutto Yeah droolworthynnThe spinach and grueyere streudel was good I hoped for more cheese and I found the crust to be a bit too hard That said the flavors were solid and the spinach was fresh Not a bad dishnnEntree The flank steak had a great flavor and the cabernet jus was delicious But there was something about how it was cut almost against the grain Sadly it was also a little tough We ordered them medium rare I even added more on the rare side and they were closer I think to medium Great flavors but a little lost on executionnnDessert The peach tartin was fantastic The pastry was light and crisp the peaches were fresh sweet and tender and the basil ice cream with piece of crispy basil was a lovely sweet and savory complement to the rest of the dish Really really done wellnnI never felt rushed the meal was very good and the prices were good Aside from the prix fixe decision we made the foie gras was only and compared to other places I have been lately that is an amazing deal for what they offer Definitely a fave With glasses of wine each and all of the above it was only or so each before a tip Very much worth the visitnnFor next time I see wine and foie gras and dessert at the bar Casual yet still surrounded by the intimate elegance and with a fabulous view
