Review by Trip advisor
The Sterling Brunch is in the hotel’s elegant steak house, so the decoration is much like a very elite mens’ private club (beautiful wood, rich colors, white cloth tablecloths and so forth). I behaved myself and took just a little of absolutely everything, (except for the lobster which of course, you had to have an entire one of, but what is one to do?). Caviar, lamb, steak, oysters, properly done eggs benedict, salmon, just every one of my favorite foods, and oh, did I mention lobster? All of the accompaniments are perfect, well thought out, the temperature is perfect, the orange juice and champagne delightful, just a foodies’ fantasy brunch. We thought the service was excellent as befitting our surroundings. Paying $200 for breakfast for two is a little pricey, but this is a meal you will never forget. I would not recommend it for those who do not adore this type of food or who don’t like to have a large brunch (too expensive for a light eater unless you have money to burn).
Pamplemousse tailors its fine cuisine to individual palates at their charming French inn. Escape from the ritz and glitz of the Strip at this top Las Vegas restaurant. Voted Best Romantic Gourmet Restaurant in Vegas, Pamplemousse delights guests with Osso Bucco pasta, glazed Chilean sea bass and roasted duck legs. Rich delicacies include chocolate mousse and raspberry crème brulee suitable for any sweet tooth.

Review by Trip advisor
I have been traveling to Vegas for over 10 years and, like many, I end up at the restaurants on the strip. Merely because it’s convenient for the group I am with and/or the majority of the people I am with are not foodies. Why the heck should we go off strip?
This time my wife and I were the only two people on the trip and I was going to eat the best (read: NOT most expensive) regardless if it was on or off strip. Pamplemousse was our favorite.
Located along a stretch of road with tacky strip centers and fast food Pamplemousse actually looks like a strip club (or something) from the outside. Tacky pink sign and drab building does not prepare you for the quality of food.
The interior is a bit dated but fits in fine in Las Vegas. The food and the service shine here….
First of all dont let the “French” cuisine deter you. The service was very enthusiastic but appropriate to Las Vegas. This place has history and luckily the food quality and taste is the foundation to the entire experience.
The Crudites Basket was extremely fresh and it was complimentary so we may not have ordered it otherwise. The vegetables were raw, simple but elegantly presented. Natrual flavor shining through. Honestly, we just about filled up on this. The vinegarette was obviously home made and was perfect for dipping the veggies.
The French Onion Soup was promised to be the best I’ve had and – I am a lover of french onion soup and quite the critic – it was the best I’ve had. Yes, one can make a pretty bad (usually bland) french onion soup and this restaurant delivers. Deep rich broth with bronze, carmelized onions and crusty bread. The cheese was perfectly melted and just browned and crusty. My wife couldnt stop “trying” it. My wife had a decent appetizer with goat cheese and it was tasty.
My wife had a main course of sea scallops. She typically doesnt order scallops because she doesnt love them like other foods. However, the waiter went on and on about them and convinced her to order them and we’re glad she did. Outstanding in their preparation and seared to perfection, we both loved that dish.
I had the duck upon high recomendation and it was good. I dont love duck like most so I wasnt blown away.
The dessert – Chocolate Volcano – was outstanding. It was highly recomended and must be ordered as you order your meal because it takes that long to prepare and cook. TGI Friday’s, Chili’s and the like have made a dessert like this pedestrian but Pamplemousse knocks this one out of the park.

Burger Bar Las Vegas
Beer and burgers don’t get any better than when dining in Las Vegas’ Burger Bar.
No, Al Gore didn’t invent the Internet, but I think it’s safe to say Hubert Keller invented the upscale burger restaurant.
Keller was in the process of opening Fleur de Lys, an offshoot of his landmark San Francisco restaurant, six years ago when then-management of Mandalay Bay asked him to take over a suddenly vacant spot in the soon-to-open Mandalay Place.
The restaurant originally had been planned as a burger joint of the paper-napkins-and-plastic-tray variety, but Keller has said he decided that if he was going to do it, he was going to do it right. Keller knew that in New York, culinary lion Daniel Boulud had garnered quite a bit of acclaim for his foie-gras-and-short-rib-stuffed DB Burger (which also is served at Boulud’s restaurant at Wynn Las Vegas). Inspiration met determination, et voila: Keller’s Burger Bar was born.
A parade of similarly oriented restaurants has followed, and Keller himself has opened another Burger Bar, in St. Louis, and plans a third in San Francisco’s Union Square. But while the original Burger Bar may no longer be the one and only, it’s still among the best; a recent visit found things at Gourmet Burger Ground Zero to be humming along quite nicely.
One of the smartest things Keller did when he designed Burger Bar was to offer several different types of beef, in addition to lamb, turkey, seafood and veggie burgers, with a variety of toppings from garden, farm, ocean and more and a variety of breads, all of it to be mixed and matched in endless do-it-yourself variety. Among the beef types is American-style Kobe, or Wagyu beef, from Snake River Farms in Idaho.
Review by LVRJ
If you have a pre-recession budget and aren’t feeling particularly creative, you can have that Wagyu in the Rossini, a “chef’s burger” with foie gras, shaved truffles and Madeira sauce. That seemed a little rich for both our appetite and our expense account, but we stuck with the theme, ordering ours ($16.50) simply topped with blue cheese (95 cents) on a ciabatta bun.
And it was lovely, just lovely, with a buttery texture that was matched by the texture of the cheese and a rich flavor that was cut by the cheese’s pungent one. On the side we had zucchini fries ($3.30) to see if they were different from the bar-variety deep-fried zucchini, and these were both thicker, so that the zucchini flavor was more evident, and encased in a much-better-than-average ultra-light, crunchy coating.
We decided to follow the kitchen’s lead on the sliders ($12.50), which were appealing in their variety: buffalo with caramelized onions, Black Angus with bacon and Ridgefield Farms with American cheese, with plain buns and skinny fries on the side. While the buffalo naturally carried its characteristic flavor, the differences between the two types of beef were difficult to detect, especially served in this manner.
A chocolate burger (a donut with layers of chocolate ganache, passionfruit and mint) had seemed like a good idea on the way in, but not after that rich Wagyu.
Service throughout was fine, our waitress both efficient and persistent (which isn’t always a bad thing). A glass of Franziskaner Dunkel ($7.50) was as cold as it gets (which is always a good thing). And we got to watch the Gonzaga-St. Mary’s basketball game on a TV right there in our booth.

Delmonico Steakhouse Las Vegas
You’ve probably heard of the chef at Delmonico Steakhouse in Las Vegas. If New Orleans’ Emeril Lagasse does not ring a bell now, you will certainly remember him after dining at this top Las Vegas steakhouse. Located on the Strip, interior design lovers will ogle and admire Delmonico’s high-vaulted ceilings, grand pianos and French accents. Expert servers keep the meal going smoothly, and specialties like the NY strip and porterhouse are some of the best steaks in Las Vegas

Review by Trip advisor
Of all the reviews here, I have yet to see anyone mention the odd acoustics of the place. The restaurant has a vaulted ceiling, and the sound travels so well from one table to another that you’d swear there were ghosts sitting next to you. The fun of it is, you don’t know whose conversation you’re hearing snippets of, because it’s impossible to tell which direction the sound is carrying from, especially over the ambient noise of the restaurant. Of course, that’s good for those who enjoy their privacy as well.
We drove from San Diego to Vegas for my brother’s bachelor party, and we settled on Delmonico to start the night off based on the strength of the reviews here. We made our reservation on the drive out, about six or seven hours ahead of time, and while the restaurant couldn’t seat our group of twelve at one large table because of the short notice, they were able to give us two tables right next to each other.
A small number of reviewers have said they found the wait staff stuffy, and I have to disagree based on my experience. Our main waitress was helpful and friendly, offering suggestions and making sure everything was taken care of, and she was not the least bit condescending to our boisterous group of 20-somethings.
With six to a table, we each ordered a side and shared them, and they were all beyond excellent. I ordered a filet mignon and it was as good as I’d expect from any expensive steakhouse — very, very good in fact, but not quite on the same level as the best steaks I’ve had. It was cooked perfectly according to the way I ordered, and even though I like my steaks toward the “well” side, it was still tender and juicy.
As others have said, Delmonico is on the expensive side — we dropped about $140 per person, without dessert or appetizers, but with drinks. But considering the occasion, the food and the service, we were very happy with our meal.
Overall, this is a solid restaurant for special occasions, and it was a great way to kick off the night in Vegas.

The amazing New American fare, sprinkled with Southern, Midwestern and even French influences, makes this place one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. Representative dishes include roasted tomato and bacon swordfish, Creole grilled rib-eye with side dishes like garlic spinach and grits. Here you can relax with friends and enjoy.

Review by Trip advisor
As foodies, we were excited to try Rosemary’s based on all the positive feedback on Trip Advisor. We found a very professional staff but food that was lacking in imagination and way too heavy on the salt. When you factor in the $70.00 roundtrip cab fare, it was very disappointing.

Review by fodors
Arguably the biggest name in contemporary French cuisine, chef Joël Robuchon came out of retirement to open two massively hyped (and some say criminally overpriced) side-by-side restaurants at the MGM Grand in 2005. L’Atelier, less formal though still highly refined, offers à la carte entrées plus a long list of small “tasting” portions (such as crispy langoustine fritters with basil pesto, and free-range quail stuffed with foie gras) that let you create your own fantasy meal. But it’s the Mansion that has every foodie in Vegas buzzing. For the ultimate gastronomical rush, you can spring $360 for the full tasting menu; less expensive versions with fewer courses are also available. The cuisine changes daily and includes such rarefied creations as panfried sea bass with lemongrass foam and stewed baby leeks. This is one impressive operation, but a number of stellar restaurants in town deliver a similar caliber of service and food at half the price.
