What is the sentiment of the following review?
I make sure to dine here every time I come to Vegas. This particular location is one of the most decadent restaurants in Vegas and one of my personal favorites worldwide. Decor/Atmosphere: A single chandelier in a semi-modern setting with abstract art and black lacquered tables. You can opt to book a private room for an extra charge, which is great if you have a large party or of one of your friends forget to dress and wear a cap and a backpack with a white t-shirt with sweatpants instead. (Yes, they were cool about it and let him in!) I don't think it's as gaudy as other high end French restaurants, but just extravagant enough to make you stare for a while. They have constant music and cozy lighting. Staff: Not the fastest service I've had, but it's efficient and accurate.The timing is appropriate enough to put you at ease. Price: Yes, it's expensive and expect to spend about ~$450/person. Wine pairing for their biggest menu is $300 and $900 with one glass per 2-3 dishes. Menu: We got their biggest tasting menu which has all of the creative dishes for the summer. Usually they are around 16 little dishes, but this time they reduced it to 'just 15.' The menus change by season (I've tried all 4) and the summer menu is usually the lightest. You begin with the unlimited bread cart made fresh daily and warmed to order. French baguettes, brioches, croissants, bacon breads, saffron breads - it's so difficult to limit yourself to just a couple of flavors. 1. Kelp cream Don't you love that they match the presenting plates with the dish ingredient?? I usually don't like the taste of kale, but the cream was so light and seasoned with various herbs to cover any unpleasant taste. 2. Artichoke with foie gras Marinated artichoke hearts and violet salad with thin slices of cold foie gras. The artichoke counterbalances any of the iron/liver taste that the thin slices of foie gras has. Such a good combination! 3-5. Caviar trio The one with crab meat and lobster jelly topped with caviar, gold, and fennel cream dots is delicious. The one with potato, green onions, tuna tartar, potato chip, and caviar - sounds odd but this was my absolute favorite! Tastes like a savory seafood tart with an onion kick to it. The asparagus with caviar was the least memorable. 6. Egg Soft boiled egg florentine with a cheese sauce. Not a personal favorite. 7. Scallop It's a scallop topped on a bed of soybeans and green curry foam. Crunchy and full of flavor. 8-10. Shellfish trio I am really enjoying shellfish nowadays and this was the highlight of my seafood binges. My favorite of the three was definitely the langoustine ravioli. Just whole langoustine meat stuffed in a ravioli pouch topped with a flavor explosion of foie gras and truffle sauce. It's hard to explain how delicious this is, you just have to try it. 11. Asparagus soup I think was smooth and pretty good - until I bit into the cheesy ravioli. I asked for no strong cheeses and was discouraged to finish the dish by the unpleasant surprise. 12. Black pepper cod The main fish dish. Last few times for the fish portion they gave very unmemorable seabass or some other bland fish, but this time they upgraded this part. Juicy, meaty cod flesh caramelized to perfection and topped with a sweet-spicy-salty black pepper sauce and bok choy. 13. Beef Rib eye, bone marrow, olives, and three sauces. Perfection. 14. Strawberry-basil dessert Olive oil ice cream, fresh strawberries and basil jelly. Very fresh. 15. Mango dessert And finally, the 15th and the last part of the meal. The green is a sweet caramel cream and the mango cream 'leaves' stuffed between crunchy caramelized coats = amazing!! We ordered additional desserts like this beautiful raspberry cream crunch and their classic, chocolate souffle which is topped with dark chocolate sorbet. If possible, try to leave room for their huge dessert cart. I once went temporarily insane and attempted all flavors(28 at the time). It's worth the waddle back home.
