Joel Robuchon At the Mansion   

Robuchon was the most exciting dinning we had ever had. Having lived about everywhere in the USA. I have eaten at many Resturants claiming to be fine dinning. Joel him self came out and asked how the food was. In french of course because he doesn't speak very strong english. The service was second to none. The service alone set this place apart from any other. The moment you set food in Robuchon you think you have been transformed to a King and Queen. We never had to ask for anything. The food is why you go. we had the 19 course taster menu. I have never tasted such delightful food in all my life. Joel Robuchon is curtainly the Master of all chefs. Nothing is second rate and ever course left you wanting more and more. We spent two hours there and made it a night we will never forget. I would have to say the only reason this resturant is not 100% on the voting list is because they have not enjoy the place yet. Nine Steak house is nice but after eating at Robuchon. I would compair the two as if you we going to go to Apple Bee's or fine dinning. If you ever are in Las Vegas it is a must place to go if you are seeking the night of your life!!! Skip the show its worth it! Thank You Joel!!

My husband and I enjoy fine dining and do not mind spending a little bit more on what we expect to be exceptional food and service. Having read and heard about Joel Robuchon over the years, we made it a point to swing by the restaurant during our recent trip to Vegas. Sadly, we were disappointed in the whole dining experience. The meal itself was "ok", it was not spectacular compared to other restaurants run by newer chefs, and certainly not worth the over $1k tab that we spent on wine and food. The dishes were clean and flavorful BUT hardly groundbreaking nor memorable. Several courses contained gelee and foam of sorts and the fish, a turbot, was predictable and uninspired. . The bread and petit fours carts seemed a nice touch, but depending on who was serving, any excessive interest in sampling more than a couple of things was "sniffed at"[sacre bleu! ils sont pigs!]. Which brings me to my final point and what I consider the worst transgression: mediocre service. For a highly rated restaurant, the service was marginal at best, and certainly carried an air of undeservedly old school pretentiousness. Staff were not always attentive - it took 20 minutes and two requests just to get a wine list, and almost as long to place the order. Service from some staff members was clearly preferential - some guests (also first timers) received more attention than others for the same tasting menu. I do not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning anytime soon.

The quality of the food is exceptional. Preparations are simple and ingenious. Occasionally, dishes are a little off, but all in all marvelously spectacular. Robuchon pays great attention to details, and occasionally they are too showy, many aspects of the dinner add to 'theatrical' flavor- the bread cart, the sorbet service, the tea cart... The prices border on the extreme: 350 for the most expensive 15-17 course menu. For the money he charges, I'd expect a little bit more. I reccomend dinner at Alex, in the Wynn hotel, for a superb dining experience that IMO is superior to Robuchon.

Well, it happens to everyone and advertising got me to fork over a ridiculous amount of cash for very average food. One dish of a small piece of shrimp in broth was surprisingly fishy. Every course was fair to poor and with lots of foamy tasteless nonsense. Thankfully the kid at $5.00 an hour cooked up some really good bread and we were able to fill up on it. They must have known this fact because they push the bread like nothing I've experienced before. Now, the fun part. The wine steward spoke with a heavy European accent and appeared to know about wine. He talked me out of the great California wine we had selected to a flat slightly bitter wine from France. I had trouble understanding the wine steward due to his heavy accent. Here's the creme de la creme- we asked him where he was from-he told us born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. And, he lost his accent as he told us. Great entertainment comedy value but at an expensive cost. Would have been better to pay for Penn and Teller and used the saved money to eat a much better meal at Lawrys.
