""Amazing from start to finish", Thomas Keller's "fab" French bistro in the Venetian (a spin-off of his Napa original) again wins the Most Popular title in Vegas." Full review

"Thomas Keller’s take on a Parisian bistro feels nothing like Vegas, with a pewter-topped bar, Duchamp-inspired murals, and view onto a French-style courtyard."

"Japanese food "like you've never had before" is the province of this "cozy" West Side robata grill, which instills its "exquisite", "high-end" small plates (no sushi) with "bold, complex flavors"." Full review
