Las Vegas Fine Dining Thread

[DrNo888]

So excited!

Friend just confirmed that we got a reservation for a chef's table at Table 10 (new Emeril one at Palazzo) for this weekend. I can't wait. Hopefully, I will remember to bring my camera and get some nice pics. I am not much of a foodie, but will try to take some notes for a trip report.

Edit: Ugh..I just realized this should be in the fine dining thread. If a mod can move it, that would be great.

Had a meal at SW steakhouse and it was the best steak in LV. Here were the three dishes that made my night:

Bone-In NY Steak (Nebraska cornfed) - By far the tastiest cut of the cow and was as good of a steak as I've had (I've been to places all over the country).

Creamed corn with truffles - if you like truffles, this was unbelievably fragrant with truffles.

Potatoes Au gratin - simple straightforward but done right.

Do yourself a favor and be sure you order the Mallasadas for desert. Truly exceptional. The tartare trio appetizer is excellent.

claytons vegas food reviews:

N9NE - 9.5 out of 10. sick good food, wine service, trendy/club esque, good lighting, comfy chairs, ridiculously good steak

Craftsteak - 9 out of 10. Steak was average, skirtsteak was incredible, appetizers/deserts were above average, the wait staff was v. good, however the vibe didnt come off as distinctive. You could use the exact same atmosphere with just about any food type at craftsteak, and I found this to be a turnoff.

Okada - 9 out of 10. The stone nuts for Tepanyaki-style grilling. Great saki selection, great chefs, ridiculous ambiance (near waterfalls and windows everywhere). Amazing kobe, good sushi.

Nobu - 8 out of 10. Very good sushi, didn't like that it was really loud inside, some courses were meh. Excellent wait staff.

Social House - 9.5 out of 10. The stone nuts for sushi, top-notch saki selection, everything you would ever need re: sushi, amazing ambiance/vibe, above average waitstaff. Perfect for sushi IMO

Fix - 8.5 out of 10. Appetizer heaven, but too dimly lit and loud for my tastes. Perfect venue for going with dates/other people before hitting a club scene or something. The crispy rice/spicy tuna selection is one of my top 5 favorite foods of all time.

Pho @ Treasure Island - 7 out of 10. I love Pho. Standard Pho place with keno-diner atmosphere. Pho rules, etc.

Clearly I need to go to more places, because I've run out of venus. Oh well, enjoy the reviews.

I really enjoyed Corsa Cucina at the Wynn. The mozzarella di bufala was melt in your mouth creamy - just that appetizer alone is worth a trip. Sorry I missed your question two days ago.

TT, were you replying to thebeebster? Because I would not classify Rosemary's as Italian food.

It's contemporary American, with a leaning to Louisiana roots.

Ate at Marche Bacchus yesterday for the first time. Great cheese/fruit/meat platter. Extensive wine available in their retail shop ($10 more than retail is their "wine list", pretty sweet deal). Good wine by the glass list as well, with both 3oz and 5oz pours.

Good crab cakes. Great scallops + risotto, very good sea bass. Dessert was very good. Service was great. Will do again.

she told me $100 for a doggy bag and $250 for a tea bag

someone earlier in the thread asked about yellowtail at bellagio. I ate there with a few other 2+2ers last week and the consensus was that we'd rather spend half as much at Naked Fish's and enjoy the meal quite a bit more. I enjoyed what I ate but it was nothing special at all for what we paid.

for those that like authentic Chinese/Asian food(not asian fusion which most places are in vegas), try Zine @ the Palazzo. only like $40-50ish a person. Food and service have been very good the few times I have been there. pretty sure almost everything is cooked, no sushi, and a lot of noodle/soup dishes.

Ive never seen as many 1st generation Asians in one place as I have when eating there, lol. Pretty good indication of the place, if you ask me.

Corsa is closed, Alex Strata is now the executive chef and I am told the food is much better, its called Strata (what else!)

I screwed up, I confused Nora's with Rosemary's in that post - my bad. Both are excelent options IMHO, two of the best off-strip restaurants in Vegas.

Damn, I really liked the food there. Of course, I loved the food at Alex, so this can't be too bad of a change. Found this link about the change.

I guessed that you were thinking of Nora's, I should have said as much. Only ate there once for lunch, but it has a nice neighborhood feel to it. Nice people, and good food. Plenty of southern Italian classics, and some other things where they are trying for something new. Reasonable prices and big portions.

Hate to bump a dead thread, but I see a whole bunch of recommendations for steaks, but very few for seafood.

Where are the good seafood restaurants in vegas?
