Q: This review of Fleur D Lys is of the lounge and the expanded Tapas menu available there, a great experience in all aspects. The menu is not listed on the website but is listed out front with the other menus, so do look for it. My wife and I ate there on 7-22-10.

To begin the atmosphere of the Lounge is very relaxing as well as inviting, with low as best I can describe Mid East style seating, with small tables and low set couches. The couches are very comfortable BTW so you may want to stay for awhile. This is a small intimate area which seats probably around 25 people at most so it can fill up on the weekends. Our hostess was charming, very engaging and an absolute sweetheart of a girl as were all employees we dealt with that evening, as you would expect from Fleur de Lys.

We began our meal with a couple of drinks, a Doghead IPA for me, not bad but stout for an IPA, my wife had what is called a Fleur Fizz, a signature drink from the Lounge there. I am not much on cocktails as such, but this was a very well made and refreshing cocktail, made similiar to a New Orleans Fizz but made with Champagne instead of club soda. A great replacement IMO.

We ordered the Charcutrie Tray for two and the Rock Shrimp with Glass Noodles, for what we thought was a beginner to the Tapas meal. Not the whole meal for two as it ended up being to our surprise. The Rock Shrimp and Glass noddles was a slightly spicy little dish, not so much my wife did not love it mind you, but with a taste of the world it was from as it should be. The sauce was a mix of Thai and Viet tastes blended very well, with very fresh, small Rock Shrimp, which were not skrimped on as some Tapas menus will do. The Charcutrie was a very nice mix of smoked meats with a very fresh bread, olives, cornichons, pickled fennel and a wonderful stone ground mustard. The highlight of this for me was the mix of the Pork/Goose pate and the Fennel, a wonderful combination with the sweet, smoothness of the pate and the sharpness of the fennel blending wonderfully to form a new tatse sensation I will try in the future for a recipe of my own.

Unable to decide what we wanted to do for dessert, which all sounded good I asked about the 'flights" I saw listed on the menu. Why not finish with a drink instead of more food, always can eat again if need be :) . The flights are signature martinis in a 3 drink serving, and are available as a Tropical or Decadent choice of flights. We decided upon the Decadent flight and were not wrong in our choice as this filled the needs of both libation and dessert in one nice package, The flight consisted of a Dark Chocolate, Mocha Espresso and White Chocolate, the drinks were accompanied by Chocolate Meddalions and fresh Blackberries. The White Chocolate was my personal favorite, like drinking a wonderful White Chocolate bar, with a hint of a Martini behind it. The Espresso was my wifes favorite, she best described as very good Mocha Espresso but with a hint of Gin. This was a great finish to a great meal to say the least. The meddalions and rasberries were wonderful, fresh as out the back door rasberries and excellent chocolate.

Whether looking for a quick and casual, but classy, meal or just a great way to start the evening with a drink in a relaxed, semi-casual setting, the lounge as Fleur de Lys is a choice you cannot go wrong with. The Tapas menu is extensive and priced very well, with something for everyone, the price is upscale as you would expect for Fleur de Lys but worth every penny. They have available a choice for evrything on the Tapas, 99 for just food or 115 for foods and desserts, and a party of 8-10 could have a great time for this amount. 5 Stars all the way across the board.

Q: Another Vegas trip, another visit to Bouchon.

The wife and I came to Vegas last week to celebrate our anniversary. We needed somewhere to go for dinner one of the nights and we defaulted to our old standby, Bouchon. I wanted to go somewhere new but couldn't really decide so we just decided to go to Bouchon since that was a safe choice. Boy am I glad we did.

It was a Tuesday night and we had reservations. We were seated immediately in the upper area of the restaurant, (the left side above the lower area by the pool). I don't know if it was just a slow night or they had us up there because it was our anniversary but we had the whole upper area to ourselves. It was very nice. The waiter Daniel came over and started chatting and then the manager came by with 2 glasses of champagne. Nice touch. Daniel was very knowledgable and friendly. I noticed that they were serving a Lamb Sirloin special that night and I love lamb. I asked the manager about it and he described to me and it sounded great. I asked Daniel about it and he said, "I don't know why but they're pan searing it for some reason. I think it's better grilled." I agreed with him and asked if they could grill it instead and he said, "of course."

We started off with the zuchinni blossom appetizer and the wife had a tomato salad that she really enjoyed. The zucchini was incredible salty fried goodness. Certainly not healthy but oh so good.

The lamb sirloin with cippolini onions, fingerling potatoes and escarole was sublime.

The wife had trout almandine. She had a few pin bones but overall liked the dish.

For dessert we had opera cake. The cake was very good but there was some sort of light brown sauce on the plate that for some reason my brain was processing as tasting like garlic. It was a very strange sensation. After I figured out what was giving me that taste I just avoided that sauce.

When we ordered dessert the wife ordered a latte. When Daniel asked what I would like I declined as I don't like coffee. He was surprised and when I explained to him that I just don't like the taste of coffee he said, "I'm going to bring you something." I told him OK but I'm not going to like it. He brought me an espresso martini and it was indeed very good. He was right I actually liked it.

We have been to the Vegas and Napa Bouchon's many times but this dinner was the best experience we've ever had at Bouchon. The food was amazing and Daniel is a fantastic server. He made the experience truly special.

Q: I dont think any of the workers here know wat they're doing. Like the other comments below, they know nothing about customer service. I bought a shirt for $60 at the fashion show mall. Once i got home to wear i realized there was a hole in the shirt. Since fashion show is far from where i live i came to this location at townsquare. As a result the worker made me pay and an extra $10 to pay for the shirt!!! And not only that, their attitude and the tone of their voices were so rude. Its like they were annoyed by me. All i wanted to do was to exchange a shirt. Abercrombie and fitch needs to clear the staff here and hire better employees.
