text: A little bit of Paris smack dab in the middle of the Strip It is a perfect lunch spot with a grand view of the Bellagio fountains Unfortunately the fountains do not start running until pm so I guess if you are here in the summer come for an early dinner and avoid the lunch time heat if you are on the patio if you are here in the winter just come for lunch minus the active fountains Do not be scared they have heat lamps everywhere nnFor seating try to request either the open air patio or the enclosed glass ceiling bistro area does remind me of bistro floors in Paris only cleaner and brighter The formal seating area inside is dark and gives off that reddish brown light of a stuffy steakhouse If the restaurant is not packed full then you are safe because they default to seating people outside or in the bright covered area nnI started with a Frangria which I am sure is not French It is red sangria that had good fruitysweet balance and was inexpensive nnHeavily recommended by my server was the French Onion Soup which I normally love but I did not order it because I would have been too stuffed Next time Our server was very attentive nnI had the Steak FritesSteak Au Poivre brandy peppercorn sauce medium rare The steak is big flat piece smothered with peppercorn sauce It was tender juicy and flavorful The steak frites are definitely worth getting just pick your preferred sauce butter caramelized onion with red wine reduction peppercorn blue cheese nnThe fritesfries that accompany the steak are thinnish potato shavings that curl a bit after frying Have you ever tried PikNik Ketchup Fries from your grocery store Their cut reminded me of that except they have more give on the inside from fresh frying Unique yes I can see how some people would love these fries while others might hate them nnShe had the Grilled Salmon and Spinach Salad with avocados blueberries walnuts and citrus dressing The salad was a solid choice the citrus salmon played well with the avocados and blueberries nnWe were here for lunch If you come for dinner you get more choices on the steak cuts Added choices include filet mignon hanger New York strip and bonein rib eye nnThis is a very relaxing place to have a meal with one of the grandest views in all of Vegas I cannot wait to come back
