text: I ate here over a year and half ago and I still recall the experience I do not do too much retroyelping because I am afraid that the memories will have decayed but not with LAteliernnThe restaurant is moderncozy mostly red with dark low lights There are many small tables on the side and a large bar area with an open kitchen You can see the whole kitchen and the entire scope of preparation Sitting at the bar is an experience in it self let alone eating therennUnfortunately I was alone for dinner but then it made perfect sense to seat me at the bar It was the greatest experience watching the plates be finished a meticulous process that took minutes just to garnish the plates just so I just love watching excellence in actionnnI had a small plate of smoked salmon on creme fraiche as a starter and then John Dorry with chorizo as a main dish It was served with a small pot of pureed potatoes that I will never forget They were so smooth so creamy My server conspiratorially whispered to me were at least half butter and I could believe thatnnSitting by myself at the bar I was not alone There was a journalist from the same convention on one side and a young female doctor on the other We made small conversation and were shared our amazement of the foodnnI had three pots de creme for dessert that were wonderfulnnSomeday when I can convince my wife to come to Las Vegas with me we will eat here Watching the food preparation was great and the food was better
