content: Took my gf here this past weekend for a nice little dinner in Vegas. The worst part of this restaurant experience is finding it- we walked around the casino for 10 minutes trying to locate it, but after asking 2 employees where it was, we finally found out it was right near the main entrance to the Venetian (which we had entered from 10 minutes prior), tucked away to the right of the check-in desk and up 10 floors in the suites tower. \n\nOnce we got there it was a great experience. I can't say how much of Thomas Keller's influence is on this place (he obviously does not cook there, and we're still planning a FL visit) but if he had any effect whatsoever, it had to have been good. \n\nThe restaurant has a casual yet elegant feel, and the service was impeccable and not in any way obtrusive. That's exactly the service I like- help us out when service is needed, but stay out of the way for the most part. Dishes were promptly cleared, water was filled at just the right intervals, and the pacing of the food was on point. Our waiter was informative but not pushy.\n\nWe started off with the parsnip soup and mac and cheese side, which were both excellent. I choose the roasted chicken based on our waiter's recommendation and my gf had the steak and frites (basically a really nice version of steak with fries on top). Her steak was one of the better steaks we've had in a restaurant, and we've had alot. The chicken was tender, moist, with just the right amount of seasoning on the crispy skin. \n\nI was pleasantly surprised with the portion size, we couldn't make it to dessert because we were so full off of our appetizers/entrees. We probably could have done without even one of the entrees and still would have been full. I actually felt a little sluggish after, but I don't think I'm used to all that butter and cream in my diet. It's definitely worth unbuttoning your pants for though.
