I would gladly do it again on a special occasion if it wasn't for the smoke thing. You will also be forking over at least $100 per person. What my gay friend calls 'girl food.' So if you order every course, you will be well satisfied but not stuffed. BUT, if you think you'll cut corners by skipping salad, appetizers, etc., you'd better not be a big eater. It is going to be an incredible, memorable meal, from the flavored butter on the complimentary brioche to the fresh ground coffee and to-die-for desserts. Face it, you are going to leave a huge chunk of change at this place. It is also the reason I rated atmosphere at only 3, because the decor was lovely and the view was unparalleled.

If you are sensitive to smells or to cigarettes, do not eat here! It is the only reason that I cannot say I'd recommend it to a friend, and the only reason that I will likely never eat here again. The fact that we enjoyed our food in spite of this is the greatest compliment I can give the chef. There wasn't any visible smoke in the air, but the restaurant positively reeked of cigarettes, so much that one of our party (of 4) came down with a headache that she typically gets when exposed to tobacco smoke. None of us wanted to be rude, but I was so close to saying, 'actually, you know, we had these menus for at least 5 minutes before you came over and we all know how to read.' -Air - OK, this one really pissed me off, because I actually phoned the restaurant ahead of time to ask about cigarette smoke from the casino, and was assured the restaurant was completely separate. When he went over the menu, he pretty much read/quoted the entire thing! 'And I also have a nice lamb.' and then he would say, verbatim, every word we had already read in the damn menu.

Throughout the dinner, when he came to the table he would linger, chatting, much longer than he was welcome. (see 'air' below for the bad news) -Service- quite good, but with a touch of weirdness: we were joking amongst ourselves that the waiter wished he could pull up a chair and join us. Ambiance - absolutely lovely, really special. If it were not for some of the other factors (below), I would have rated this with 5 stars and devoted myself to earning a high enough salary to eat here every month. I have some negative comments to make about this restaurant, but I have to first say that the food was UNBELIEVABLY GOOD.
