text: After reading many reviews and knowing the Vegas Strip restaurant scene all too well I tempered my enthusiam for my visit Although I have not been to Kellers restaurants in Napa i am well aware of his reputation Bouchon Vegas certainly does not live up to my expectations of Keller It is however a perfectly respectable restaurant to enjoy a good albeit overpriced meal Upon arrival I was a little surprised at how big the restaurant is To me a bistro is by definition small I also did not care for the layout of the menu It was a little kitchy for me and very hard to read in a dark restaurant I started with Escargots ue la Bourguignonne The snails were tender and well cooked but the dish lacked seasoning I also had a few bites of Salade de Cresson et dEndives au Roquefort Pommes et Noix This was a very nice salad but just a salad I also tried the Beignets de Brandade de Morue Again the dish lacked seasoning which is tough to do with salt cod For dinner I went with the Steak Bouchon I wanted to try something I had never eaten before but the dinner menu is pretty limited and slightly boring so I opted for the steak It was very good but again just a steak The rice that accompanied the steak was boring by itself but combined with the sauce bordelaise it was quite nice as was the celeriac lyonnaise I also tried the veal that was the special of the night It was cooked perfectly but overall very forgettable The table also shared some fries and mac n cheese The fries were very good The mac n cheese had good flavor but the mac was way overcooked By far the best part of the meal was the dessert specially prepared by the pastry chef for my companions birthday It was a chocolate creme cake that was spectacular and I do not even like cake Service was excellent Attentive but not overbaring I also appreciate that they pour beer at the right temperature and into proper stems
