Let's just say, the Venetian ("the House") was trying to get their money back from us.<br /><br />That's why I love Vegas, so much free dinners to score!

Where else are you considering?<br /><br /><b>Jo</b>: I had something similar to the raviolo at <a href="http://www.kevineats.com/2008/11/coi-san-francisco-ca.htm" rel="nofollow">Coi</a> in San Francisco. What's on your short list for Vegas? And just for you: <a href="http://twitter.com/kevin_Eats" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/kevin_Eats</a><br /><br /><b>Rich</b>: It's quite a different experience than Chicago indeed! I know foam is somewhat passé these days, but here it was used to good effect. The Wagyu was from Japan, and I imagne at least a portion of the fish was as well. Perhaps $250 is a bit pricey, but you must take into account the "Vegas premium." ;)<br /><br /><b>Wesley</b>: I wish I could take all the credit, but I gotta give props to the under-counter lighting there. ;)kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-86051956875422576942009-07-02T14:50:01.321-07:002009-07-02T14:50:01.321-07:00wow. amazing photos. great white balance and depth...wow. amazing photos. great white balance and depth. you're making me hungry!Wesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479605108399266214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-64212843680605120952009-07-02T09:45:46.878-07:002009-07-02T09:45:46.878-07:00beautiful pictures as always! the kaiseki menu lo...beautiful pictures as always! the kaiseki menu looks more exquisite and well-balanced than the grand menu in the chicago charlie trotter's. the asian influence is also more apparent and interesting. oyster with ponzu - oh what a good idea! <br /><br />though it seems that charlie trotter uses too much foam in his dishes. $250 also seems like a very steep price for a supposedly more casual restaurant, especially for a menu that doesn't include traditional luxury ingredients like foi gras, truffles, or caviar. i guess the fish and wagyu were probably imported and drove up the cost?Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13498966673407104236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-12566227990639199812009-07-02T09:25:35.174-07:002009-07-02T09:25:35.174-07:00I'm totally fascinated with your photo of the ...I'm totally fascinated with your photo of the "fish stock and barley miso raviolo" ...
