All the portions were super small, and after spending a truckload of money, I wasn't even full afterwards. That was very disappointing.
Surprised to hear someone say this. I usually leave carnevino stuffed. In particular, the porterhouse is a lot of meat IMO. Pro tip: ask if they have any reserved cuts of meat that are not on the printed menu. I've gotten 8 month aged cuts of meat that are just unreal. Incredible, almost cheese-like, aged flavors.

I got the $89 menu which consists of the following:
- Bread cart (15 different choices. Bacon and basil are out of this world)
- Amouse Bouce (caviar, fennel, crab, lobster eggs. Amazing dish)
- Main course: I had the duck and foie gras which came with mashed potatoes (duck was awesome, much better than the foie gras that was excellent but not amazing)
- Dessert: L'Chocolat. Chocolate pudding, chantilly cream, coffee ice cream and a liquor sauce. One of the best desserts I've ever had.
- Chocolates cart: 45 different varieties. Pear gelee and chocolate lollypop were the best.
Overall I paid $127 including the tip which is a complete steal for the service provided and the amazing food.
I just got back from Robuchon. Got the sixteen course menu. Ate all of mine and helped some friends finish theirs, so you know I'm not a lightweight talking about carnevino portions
Robuchon is incredible. It's an experience unlike anything else in Vegas. The service is a notch above anything else I've seen. If you can afford it, I can't recommend it more highly.
