text: Oh Thomas Keller you disappoint me While I still aspire to try French Laundry I thought that I could sample Kellers fare at Bouchon to appease me until I can get that elusive French Laundry reservation nnWe decided to have dinner at Bouchon before we went to see Le Reve at the Wynn I thought it would be a nice way to start off the evening Boy I was wrongnnI ordered an arnold palmer When I tasted it I thought it tasted off It was tropical iced tea with lemonade I asked our server if they had plain iced tea and he said no Who the hell makes an arnold palmer with tropical iced tea It was all downhill from therennThe soup special was chilled tomato soup With the temps in Vegas topping degrees a chilled soup sounded great When it arrived I was puzzled I was expecting a pureed tomato soup or a gazpacho What I got was a clear broth with pieces of small pear shaped red and yellow tomatoes and croutons It would have been fine had it tasted good But the soup tasted nothing of tomatoes and had this strange oiliness to it nnI ordered mussels and fries and my BF had steak and fries I have to say like the previous reviewer the best thing I ate that night was the fries The wine sauce with the mussels was too salty I tried the steak and it was nothing special A large part of it was also severely undercooked for what was supposed to be medium rare My BF left a good portion of it untouched We also ordered a side of macncheese which was an abomination The pasta was so overcooked that it was soggy No toasty crust no cheezy goodness How hard is it to make macncheese At for a tiny portion you would be better off buying six boxes of Krafts macncheese and making it at homennWe did not have time to have dessert and decided to have coffee instead It came with a side of steamed milk I asked for cream and the busboy insisted that it was cream No it was milk I have drank enough coffee to know the difference between milk and cream Whatever I was done with Bouchon anywaynnI did not see much of the restaurant and of what I did see it was nicely decorated Our server was largely indifferent For a restaurant of that caliber I expect better servicennThe only saving grace was that we had a voucher from the Venetian for our dinner Even with the discount it was a very underwhelming experience
