The food and service were good, but very very over-priced, and the decor dated. I've been to many fine dining restaurants, including some with multiple Michelin stars. In this instance the quality / quantity of the ingredients and wines simply didn't warrant the excessive pricing. Indeed, the wine is particularly exhorbitant - and that's comparing with other restaurants, not retail. Someone has clearly just arbitrarily doubled or trebled what one might pay in other restaurants for the wines on the wine list. The glass of champagne to start is the biggest diddle at $100 for the unremarkable / un-renowned Heidsieck 2013. Only one of the wine pairings really worked with the food, and the wines themselves weren't of particular note, and again represented very poor value. As noted elsewhere, the surroundings don't engender the feeling of a high-end experience; facing the side of some buildings, our table was next to a pillar that had a 1980s dusty aircon controller and an emergency 'FIRE' lamp above that. There are better options in Vegas and indeed North America, where you won't pay well over the odds just for the sake of it.
