I love food and restaurants. This place took that love to a whole new level. I have eaten at Picasso at the Bellagio and would choose this restaurant every time. The food wasn't just great, it was the single finest meal I have ever had. The food, service and ambiance are the finest Vegas has to offer. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation today. Be sure to request Ariel as your waiter.

This is so much more than a meal. This is high cuisine. Skip the Vegas Shows and spend that money on a 2-3 hour culinary experience. Don't waste your time with the menu. Get a seat at the counter to watch the intimate kitchen and order the Tasting Menu.

At Joël Robuchon, food is made to look as great as it tastes. Much like the cavemen used animal fats and vegetable juices to paint murals on walls of stone, it is here that food is used as art, plates are used as canvasses, and the restaurant's dishes take on sculptural forms laden with symbolic meaning. OCD levels of attention are given to every detail. For example, the staff hand-decorates each plate with a water-soluble paint that comes off when the dishes are washed at the end of the evening, only to be re-applied the next day. The dining room is decorated with legitimate fine art, such as Auguste Rodin's "Age of Airain," a bronze statue of a man celebrating his nudity. Before I opened my mouth, the maître d' greeted me by name. On my visit to Robuchon, I ordered the Dégustation Menu ($445), a marathon tasting of 18 unique dishes, breads, and take-home treats. My eyes bathed in the luxurious beauty of the tasting's initial offering: the delicate Le Caviar Imperial is perhaps better known as caviar araignee de mer, or caviar "spider of the sea," and is a work of art sprinkled with flakes of gold. The fresh, buttery caviar was so plentiful in my mouth, it felt like I was chewing a caviar steak coated with the flavorful jellied crustacean consommé it sat in. The eyeball-like L'Oeuf de Poule was magnificent both to look at and to eat -- pulling off a culinary magic trick that confounded me: a de-shelled egg with a hard-boiled white but with a liquid runny yolk inside. My main course was Robuchon's wickedly-rich squab stuffed with foie gras, with its unlikely but welcomed addition of cabbage and bacon. Le Pigeon was also served with Pommes Robuchon, the world-famous silky, micro-sieved mashed potatoes that maintain an outrageous 2:1 potatoes-to-butter ratio. Some of the other tasting stand-outs included the delightful squid ink risotto served with the fish fillet, the rose shrimp served in the umami-rich ocean-y broth, the refreshing shaved ice with hibiscus syrup, and the heavenly chocolate hazelnut dessert with its glamorous edible butterflies made of sugar. Was it worth the price? That's a personal question that each person needs to decide for themselves. I know people who would burn $500 on slot machines without a second thought, but would consider spending the same amount on a meal in Vegas to be a foolish waste of money. With this restaurant, you're not gambling. Joël Robuchon is Las Vegas's only restaurant to earn Michelin's Three Stars in addition to earning AAA's Five Diamonds, and has now taken residence on my top 5 list of dining experiences.

I've been to L'Atelier many times and have never been disappointed. The menu and wine selection is vast so there is bound to be something for everyone. Whether choosing one of the set menus or a la carte items you can expect the highest quality food and beautiful presentation. The service is phenomenal! The servers are all professionals and make dinner an experience instead of just a meal (so to speak). You won't be disappointed!

The food is out of this world... the setting is very cool even for Vegas standards... And with the ability to check out the chefs as they create your dish in front of you. Think modernist French sushi bar.... it's of the most memorable restaurant experiences you can have. I think it's one of the standards in which a high-end creative evening out is all about.

Extremely attentive service from knowledgeable wait staff, excellent food, with some dishes far exceeding others. My husband had the foie gras and the waygu beef, both of which he said were outstanding. I had the red snapper ceviche, which was to die for, and the crab stuffed egg, also good. For my larger portion I had the seared sea bass, which was actually kind of unflavorful and boring, for what you’d expect here. Husbands wine pairing suggestion was perfect. Our dessert was the chocolate ice cream/mousse and the mango mousse with coconut sorbet, the latter of which was absolutely perfect, although the chocolate was quite good. Overall 5 stars for the exceptional service, and because my husband said the steak was the best he’s ever had, and he has eaten a lot of good steak. Very neat to watch the kitchen prepare your dishes, enjoyed the atmosphere, a nice alternative if you’re feeling more casual than the more formal Robuchon restaurant next door.

To start, the maitre d put his hands on me to move me out of his way so he could rush to the host stand. He said excuse me but before I could react, he was touching me. When I requested a pairing suggestion from this maitre d, he told me my question doesn't make sense. Then I spent over $300 by myself trying to have a good time once he was gone away. Nope. 1.)Overrated mashed potatoes were a bore. 2.)Had to send an improperly cooked meat dish back. I live by the Michelin Guide all over the world. NOT THIS PLACE!!! TOTAL! DISAPPOINTMENT!!
