text: in the last years we have only celebrated our friends birthday once together which is really sad and why we went to alex for a special birthday dinnernalex is a swanky and gorgeous restaurant and even though it is one of the most expensive restaurants i have ever dined in they make sure you are stuffed with french goodness when you are ready to leave the wine list is extensive and the markup high but you really do not want to order too much wine here anyway you need to have all your senses ready to experience the foodnpresentation taste texture is all excellent and done with care the foie gras was enormous and delicious as were the scallops my rack of lamb was perfectly cooked my meal ended with my favorite dish of the evening the crunchy chocolate carmel bombe a dark chocolate heaven neven though the tasting and prix fixe menu is set they are ready at a moments notice to serve the customer my palate cleanser had mango in it which i am allergic and the waiter immediately whisked it away and presented me with a different palate cleanser just as beautifully presented as the first set down before i even put my wine glass down they are knowledgeable about the food and even though alex could be a stuffystiff kind of place the staff makes you feel welcome and comfortablennalex is a reason in itself to come to vegas and have a good time
