Review from Kelly Z.

A second visit, the day after my Vegas wedding. I had not really eaten much the week previous, and this meal broke my fast. What a way to do it...even as delicious as the small bites I managed of our wedding meal at Border Grill were.
We were welcomed back with extra amuse bouches, desserts and warm handshakes. The food, as always, was stellar.
And honestly, that meal holds such special memories for me, I cannot say anymore. It's just a place I feel like everyone should be lucky enough to visit in their lives at least once. If only we could have afforded the Krug room for our reception dinner...1 Previous Review: Show all »

This restaurant is not like the other...
Guy Savoy in Paris is an experience! Unfortunately Guy Savoy in Las Vegas is just a meal, and an expensive one to boot.
The ungracious experience begins as you walk through the doors and are barked at by the host and hostess who do not have the courtesy to allow guests to fully enter the doors. You are immediately questioned about reservations as though you might not be welcome.
The entry is inviting as is the bar and lounge where a lovely fireplace glows. Unfortunately, the dining room is severe and leaves much to be desired. The environment is not only cold, but is also quite stark with the feel of a dingy New York loft apartment on a gloomy day. The high ceilings give the room a cavernous effect and the restaurant has no music whatsoever.
The lack of ambiance and music leave nothing to entertain but the waiters and food served. Unfortunately, the stress of the service afflicts and burdens the staff which, in turn, creates a stressful meal for the patrons.
I have enjoyed two splendid meals at Guy Savoy in Paris and was truly excited to experience this restaurant, without having to take an international flight.
While the recipe's remain authentic, the experience is not one I never ever wish to repeat. Our dinner for 2 all in including tip was over $800. This was without an expensive bottle of wine but with wine pairings, by the glass, poorly executed and selected by our "deer in headlights" sommelier.
Dear Mr. Guy Savoy, I am heartily disappointed. Perhaps it is time to take a greater hand in your US representation. The meal, the experience, the dining room and ESPECIALLY the service were a complete miss - I should have NEVER gone here and should have gone right to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to dine in Twist by Pierre Gagnaire.
My two reviews of the Paris Guy Savoy depict a truly wonderful experience that was totally worth every penny spent. This was not. -

I started off not really liking this place. It was awkward as you got off the elevator at the Caesar's and saw this big iron door. The door was closed. We took a few steps forward and the French hostess opened the door. The decor is very serene and mundane. No frills and frou frou like Joel Robochon. You sort of felt like you were dining in a friends living room, but nothing fancy. Walls were painted in a brown/beige/grey hue and there was a weird white bear head in a plexi glass case that stared at me.
As compared to the ambiance of Joel Robochon - there is no glitz and glamour here.
We were greeted by a French server - very tall. Reminded me of a character from the Adams Family. Very friendly and pleasant.
We selected the Signature Menu - $258 per person. The evening started with 3 morrocan-looking glass jars on your table - one is a candle, one holds salt and the other held pepper. Then they brought over 2 more glass jars - unsalted butter and salted butter.
They offer you 7 types of champagne to start with - the Asian guy - I am guessing he was the sommelier was quite pretentious. Not very friendly and did not make you feel comfortable. Funny, Asians will do this to other Asians. You would think that being from the same country, they would be happy to see you in their work environment, but the French server was much more pleasant and friends than the Asian sommelier. We choose the $29 a glass Guy Savoy special champagne.
The fougasse bread was brought to the table - it was hard and not very good. The the bread cart followed. I was confused as to why they would serve the fougasse when they had much better breads on the bread cart. The guy serving the bread went over all they had to offer - like 12 breads or so.... He told us he could course it out for us and serve us a bread with each course - don't do this, as he never served us bread with every course and we never go to try the ones we really wanted - the bacon milk bread and the olive bread.....
There was 2 amuse bouches served - first was a foie gras toast on a pick, then a waffle that you picked up with your fingers. Both good, but not outstanding.
Low and behold, Chef Guy Savoy walks out into the dining room..... wow.... we asked if we could take a photo and he did. That was the hi-light of the evening. He asked how our food was. What a pleasant man.
The next course was the lobster tartar - amazingly good. They place dry ice in the bottom of the dish and pour a broth over it, so all the dish becomes an amazing spectacle. The following courses were the caviar course, foie gras, truffle soup, filet, halibut, cheese course, pre-dessert course, dessert course - the most amazing earl grey sorbet to cleanse my pallet and the most beautiful orange granite....
The weakest dish was a coconut concotion of some ice, tapioca and some coconut. Not very tasty and it was really bland. I would leave this course out, Chef.... not very good.
At times the food did not come out in a timely manner and we sat a couple of times with dirty plates in front of us for more than 5 minutes, but you were okay with it, because there was a lot to watch around you.
The minardes cart was not as impressive as Robochon's, but there was ice cream and sorbets to select from. I was so full by this time, I could barely eat another bite.
Overall, the service is friendly and they do make you feel comfortable. There was a large party of 10 in the private dining area and Chef made a few appearances throughout the night. I must say, a very nice touch.....
Would l go back again? For $850 for 2 persons, I would have to say, I would need to save this for a very special occassion. Or if I did hit a jackpot, I would go back..... This was $200 more than Joel Robochon and $400 more than Twist.....
Would go back to these places first. Although, I did get a picture with the legend himself... -

WOW!
One of the top 5 best meals & dining experiences of my life. And most of the rest of those were in Paris.
Don't feel I can add any better info than what's already been written.
If you are going to complain about pricing, don't bother going. Do yourself a favor. Seriously those who enjoy a great meal & know it comes at a cost, don't want to hear it. We get it. -

Guy Savoy represents fine dining perfection in every sense of the word. To even attempt to describe the elegance of this meal would far exceed the Yelp word limit. My wife and I had the "Prestige" tasting menu which interestingly, is no longer available. Check out their website to see their updated tasting menu options. Here's a few random thoughts about Guy Savoy:
1. The service is the best we've ever experienced in a restaurant. Absolutely impeccable. Serious but warm at the same time. We especially loved how one of the waiters kept lapsing into French while talking with us.
2. The carts (champagne, bread, cheese, dessert) are ridiculous. They pair a difference delicious bread with every course! The cheese and dessert carts have about 25 choices on each and you can have as much as you want. Of course I had to try the Epoisses which is one of the most pungent cheeses in the world. Just by taking the lid off the box you get blasted with a huge acetone smell that knocks you back and burns your sinuses!
3. This place is very, very, very expensive (more than Alinea). I'm glad we did it once, but I'm not sure I'd ever do it again. You can roll comparable dinners in NYC for significantly less money. Vegas is great, but it does break the bank.
Overall, we had a lovely dinner at Guy Savoy. Easily one of the best dining experiences in Vegas if you're in town. It's too expensive to specifically come to Vegas to eat here because you'll find better value in other cities. However, if you hit it big in the casinos, this would be a great place to drop a little extra change. -

OMG! It was the best dining experience Ive ever had!
The food was unique! We were treated like kings.
I loved every single piece in this place.
P.S. its all about food. usually I pay attention on the decor and its really important for me, but in this case- forget about the decor and music!
It was worth it!
Their bread cart was to die for! -

2 Michelin stars. Period.
Unless you're part of the 1% this isn't an everyday dining experience. If you are dining here, money should be no object, although the food and service will be worth every penny you fork out.
We had a party of 4 and ordered the Innovation-Inspiration 12 course tasting menu with wine pairings (ordering this without the sommelier's handpicked pairings would be a colossal mistake).
This is of course white tablecloth fine dining, but the host was warm and welcoming and did a nice job of keeping the stuffiness out of our experience. He was happy to share information on the courses, pronunciation help and fun tidbits about his native France. The sommelier modestly agreed with my suggestion that he has one of the best jobs in existence, and offered perfect pairings for each of our courses.
I won't go into detail on the food, but suffice it to say that my expectations were shattered over and over again with each course. I couldn't pick a favorite course if I tried. They flowed seamlessly from one to the next and my only complaint was that we didn't always have time to mentally digest and discuss what we'd just eaten before the next course was upon us. Perfect timing in the kitchen...bummer.
If you can afford it, don't miss it. -

Went there on Valentine's day, and got the 7 course meal with my boyfriend. We were sat in front of the window, with the Effle Tower in front of us, as if we were in Paris!
Everything was excellent; from speed of of service, perfect timing between courses, excellently well executed and presented food. It was definitely an experience worth repeating.
Another note worth mentioning: we had a fish course that was really fishy. I ate mine because I can deal with it, but my boyfriend only could stomach half of his. The waiter inquired, so he told him the fish was fishy, but there's no need to replace it. Our next course was another fish course, and this time it was pure excellence. In the middle of the course I realized that our menu only has one fish course, and they comp us another without us asking! It was a really pleasant surprise, and its service like this that will keep their patron coming back for more! -

Christmas Eve at Guy Savoy (pronounced Gee Savoir in case you care lol) with my fam. All of the diners around us were French, so my uncle, who was visiting from Luxembourg, felt right at home :D
The decor is... well, it's very subtle, minimalist, hush-hush - aka boring. No background music, high ceilings with a few pieces of art that I understand are Chef Savoy's private collection (?). Ok, I get that this is because the concentration should be on the food, etc. but I personally like a warmer atmosphere (more like Joel Robuchon. PS: Joel Robuchon was totally booked up a month in advance on that night)
On to the food. The amuse was probably one of the most memorable parts of the meal - a fois gras club sandwich (a triangle of bread, a shmear of fois gras, another piece of bread and so on) on a pick. The fois gras was so creamy, buttery and delightful.
I was super excited when they rolled the bread cart our way. A variety of fresh breads including olive oil, bacon, sunflower seed, rosemary and more served with salted and unsalted butter.
For my entree I ordered the cold-steamed lobster - very cool presentation (see pic). The sweetness of the lobster with the bitterness of the grapefruit worked well.
My husband ordered the black truffle soup - I understand the base of the soup is made with water, not cream, which was very interesting. It was still relatively creamy with a very subtle truffle taste.
For my main course I got the beef tenderloin with bone marrow. Very visually appealing (see pic) and the beef was super tender and juicy. I ordered it medium, even though I know they like you to order it medium rare. I thought it was perfect medium - still a little red in the center.
And then there was the dessert cart *sigh*. Truffles, an assortment of gelatos (including popcorn flavored), macarons, napoleons... I could go on and on, but I'll just attach a pic instead :) There was a budino-like dessert that was served in a jar and it was ridiculously delicious. That may have been one of the highlights of the evening.
So all in all, the food was very well executed and the service was good, however the ambiance was not to my liking. It's once of those placed that I don't really have a desire to return to. For that reason I'll give it a 4 out of 5 stars.Listed in: Top Restaurants

Guy Savoy set the standard for fine dining. Our dinner last night was remarkable.
The food was exquisite. I had the lobster, fois gras, and the artichoke truffe soup. The presentation was beautiful. The food was defiantly the star.
The host was wonderful and the service was impecable. She insured our experience was remarkable. She was very patient and treated us very wel.
An evening at Guy Savoy is an experience to be savored. I am afraid to come back only because the experience was so perfect. -

Great meal at Guy Savoy - we went with the Menu Elegance with the wine pairings to get the whole experience. I have to say the presentations said it all from the "surprise" sashimi under the amuse bouche to the cold steam with the lobster course to the bread display (I recommend the bacon-stuffed roll).
The wine list literally required a table to support it - not only was it thick, but the contents were all first class with several rare first growth french wines. Although I was tempted by several bottles, the wine pairing with the tasting menu is a good way to go. The pours are full enough to get you through the whole course and the time between courses which is refreshing from some places where you only get a couple sips.
The decor was a perfect pairing to the food - elegant chic. They have a great fireplace in the lounge area, perfect for a pre or post-dinner cocktail. I am on a mission to find the chargers and bread plates that set the table, and I loved all the "rooms" they created with carved wood panel walls.
All in all, a great dinner in a great space. Bon appetite! -

From a $500/plate restaurant, you expect certain things. The level of service was there. The food, however, was uninspired, dull and, at times, just plain bad.
My date and I have been to several Michelin star restaurants. We are by no means "foodies" (I hate that term), but we have a fair amount of experience with fine dining.
We had the 9 course tasting menu with wine pairings.
When we went to Ria, the wine pairings opened my eyes to a whole other level of enjoyment. The wines themselves were tasty and when paired with the food - divine. I had no idea wine could do the things they did.
Here, the wines on their own were mediocre, at best. I didn't see any connection to the food.
I like caviar. The caviar dish tasted like emulsified puke with a slight hint of caviar flavor.
I can't remember what the next fish dish was. It tasted wonderful. It smelled like a decaying corpse. I'm not sure what level of refinement I need to appreciate that.
It's hard to screw up seared foie gras. Somehow, they did it. If you ignored the overpowering kumquat addition, the foie gras dish was good.
Truffle and artichoke soup - their specialty. Excellent! This is the minimum of what all of the courses should be at this price point.
Beef and carrots - their best dish. The flavors surprised me and worked beautifully together.
The cheeses - incredible. It did what the wine pairings at Ria did. It made me want to go out and buy every cheese I can to taste and experience it. The flavors were SO intense.
The coconut 6 ways dessert was boring and bland. It tasted like unsweetened, unflavored shaved ice.
The last chocolate dessert was something you could buy at Starbucks. Plain and mediocre.
There were some all-star courses, but as I said, at this caliber of restaurant and price point, every single course should be incredible. I've spent this much at a restaurant before and felt like it was well worth it. I walked away extremely angry and upset here. There are so many fantastic restaurants in Vegas for $100/plate or less. Stay away from here. -

Really friendly staff and sommelier who makes you feel very comfortable. Accommodating to everyone's needs and dietary restrictions. I love how they always confirm with the guests before taking the dishes away. Prepare to spend up to 5 hours at dinner.
Food: It's solid, French food with much attention to detail. If you are looking for solid, tasty French food with only a slight twist, then check this place out. If you are looking for creativity and amazing presentation, this isn't quite the place. No fault of theirs, it's just not what they stand for. All dishes were delicious but nothing "out of this world".
Areas of improvement: not spilling the water when refilling the glasses, pay a bit more attention when putting the silverware on the table, providing a menu for the guests to take home. -

Guy Savoy.......I feel like a celebrity. Upstairs at Caesars Palace, outstanding but simple decor and naturally the staff are fantastic, a visit to Guy Savoy is to be savoured.
We had a large group and everyone was promptly served, wine was quickly refilled and as expected a 5 star experience was had by all. I had turbot to start which was white, flakey and delicious. Followed up with Beef Wellington , amazingly tender, light pastry with a spinach buffer. Topped with Foie Gras, I'm still dreaming about it. Too much? Sorry. Boy oh boy I like this place, if money was easy to print, and calories could just be deleted, I'd come here everyday.
There are many fab restaurants in Vegas and we are lucky to live here, this has to be top 5? -

Visited Guy Savoy this weekend for what was to be a nice meal. Was a let down.
The service was good and it they were having communication issue among themselves as they kept discussing with each other the status of other tables. Wasn't that busy as when we were there only 5 other tables active.
We had the Prestage Tasting Menu. The potion sizes were extremely small and the protein portions were way too small to be filling. The duck portion was my favorite but only three small thin slices were all that was served. There were several courses that would have been better if they had explained the sauces before they spread it over the dishes. I am not overly fond of beets and it was layered too thick on the scallop dish. None of the dishes were really poor but about 1/2 weren't that good.
From a presentation stage, they should update the china to be more colorful like you get at Joel R. Have to omit, the experience I've had there far exceed the experience at GS for not that significant of more money. I would be very unlikely to return here. -

An old family friend took me here to celebrate my Dirty Thirty! Of course I was the typical American pronouncing the name of this place incorrectly. It's definitely pronounced Ghee Sav-wah and not Guy Sav-voy. My bad. This place is super upscale so you have to dress up. No hookers off Broadway here. No siree-Bob. You gotta work the Pretty Woman style in this place. You can't even tell whose niece is whose (joke peeps). It's dinner and reservation only. Call at least 2 weeks ahead depending on the season.
It may have been the pre-dinner dranks we had before shooting off to dinner, but I did get lost trying to find the place. You take a random elevator in Ceasars Palace to get there. There are literally MAYBE 12 tables in the entire place. When you are seated they place a little stool next to your seat for your feet? Because I'm really short...maybe? But no, it's for your purse.
We had the 9 course meal, but with the bread cart at the beginning and the dessert cart at the end it felt like a 12 course meal. That night they were serving:
Oysters in Ice Gelee,
Marinated Lobster, Salad and Gelee of Carrots and Autumn Herbs,
Crispy Sea Bass with Delicate Spices,
Colors of Caviar,
Foie-Gras "en Papillotte" and Radish Bouillon,
Artichoke and Black Truffle Soup, Toasted Mushroom Brioche, and Black Truffle Butter,
Roasted Veal chop, Black Truffle Potato Puree, Young Vegetables Braised in Veal Jus,
Coconut (in Six Ways)
Chocolate Fondant, Crunchy Praline and Chicory Cream
ALL OF IT WAS DELISH! Except for the radish bouillon, but that's because I think radishes taste like dirt. However, I will say that the radish balanced the richness of the foie-gras. Each course looked very small when it's first served, but each bite is rich and bold and the texture juxtaposes themselves so that it feels like you ate way more than what was served. Also, after wine, a 9 course meal, and of course the dessert cart in which you can choose one of each...you ARE full.
It's the first place I've ever seen with a guy who pairs your bread with each course. There is also another guy who vaccuums your table top between each course. The atmosphere is very French and very upper class. I was surprised when they sang Happy Birthday to me. All in all, I loved the experience and the food. It truly has been a once in a lifetime opportunity for me thus far.Listed in: You Fancy, Huh?

Guy Savoy was impressive, very impressive. I have not even eaten here, but it does not really matter. Guy Savoy is hospitality personified. I came here for one reason, Krug. I had called to see if a reservation was required to have some bubbly at the Bubble Bar (where they poured Krug by the glass) and was told that it was not necessary and that they look forward to having us. When we arrived, we were told that the Bubble Bar was sold out for the evening. The hostess was quite gracious and apologetic when I told her about the phone conversation I had regarding reservations. She suggested we talk to the manager and then guided us to the restaurant.
I approached the manager who was at the front desk, informed him of the situation and without hesitation, he led us to their private patio. It was beautiful and romantic. The manager served us personally. He brought us two glasses of Krug and surprised us with three canapes. They were delicious.
This is the mark of a great restaurant. We were in Vegas, we wanted an experience at Guy Savoy, and without hesitation or pretense, they gave me exactly what I wanted and more.
I will be back in a month or so to have dinner, I cannot wait.Listed in: Michelin Guide 2010

It was Friday and our last night in Vegas. We decided on Restaurant Guy Savoy to be our pièce de résistance vacation meal. RGS is tucked away from the bustling casino in a quiet section of Caesar's on the second floor of the Augustus Tower. Upon entering the restaurant, you're struck by the restaurant's understated, if not a bit plain, décor. However, this simplicity is certainly appropriate allowing them to focus diners on the complexity and splendor of the food.
We were seated and not long after ordering the Prestige Tasting Menu, our server delivered two amuses, a grilled foie gras sandwich and a Parmesan waffle with black pepper. Both were simple in concept and presentation, but were wonderful starts to our multi-course feast. Soon, another member of the service team rolled a cart filled with breads, a veritable rolling pâtisserie. It took amazing willpower to resist gorging on the vast variety of tasty French-style breads. Throughout our meal, we had to keep telling the bread guy to move along for fear of eating too much bread. After the first pass by the "mobile patisserie", our meal began in earnest...
Chestnut All Around...Who knew chestnuts could be prepared in so many ways and be so delicious? Langoustine and Fennel...The crudo of langoustine was tender and possessed a sweetness that worked great with the fennel. "Colors of Caviar"...A parfait of caviar...call it sinful! Crispy Sea Bass with Delicate Spices...Perfectly prepared, moist, and delicious. Foie-Gras "en Papillotte" and Radish Bouillon...I love food cooked en papillotte. This dish was beautifully presented and perfect. Artichoke and Black Truffle Soup, Toasted Mushroom Brioche, and Black Truffle Butter...Guy Savoy's signature soup! Generously topped with aromatic and flavorful black truffles. I could drink this amazing soup every day! Roasted Duck with Guy Savoy Spices...Seasoned to perfection, the duck was tender, moist, and exceedingly flavorful. Brie à la Truffe Blanche...Since it's white truffle season, we subbed the brie topped with a generous amount of white truffle in place of the selection cheeses (which looked very impressive). This was my first experience with white truffle...and it was a deliciously memorable one! The Dessert Cart...Pastries and other chocolates and sweets were foisted on us. Despite our best efforts, we could not resist! We had several glasses of wine throughout our meal, but the 2001 Château Léoville-Poyferré Saint Julien was our favorite.
Service was exemplary! The cuisine was outstanding! That said, if you order the Prestige Tasting Menu, give yourself at least two and half hours to enjoy the experience. Second, be prepared to pay for that experience. From beginning to end, Restaurant Guy Savoy provided a note perfect dining experience. Cross this one off of my bucket list!Listed in: My Favorite Places I've…

Wow! What a phenomenal experience... the food, the staff, the atmosphere - absolutely amazing... the only downer is that the Las Vegas restaurant is the only Guy Savoy in the US, I believe other restaurants are located in London and the newest one in Singapore.
First, the décor is modern with dark wood and high ceiling, but the restaurant still allows for a comfortable atmosphere without being too stuffy or scared to talk vibe.
The staff, amazing! They are very helpful and friendly especially when you need to substitute an ingredient due to dietary constraints. They are more than willing to be flexible with their menu even if you're doing the Tasting Menu. The staff has a perfect combination of friendly and attentiveness when you need them and disappear when you don't. If Frank Savoy (the son) is in the front, talk to him for a bit - what a great personality!
The food... where do I start. First, they don't just have bread... they have a bread cart! The bread cart is an amazing sight! All different types of bread can be found on this cart, olive loaf, baguette, bacon bread, etc. The amuse bouche (foie gras - who serves foie gras as an amuse bouche? Guy Savoy does!) served while waiting for the first course was a great start, left me feeling excited and curious to our menu. The food was great! Every piece of meat, vegetable, sauce was seasoned perfectly - you can eat each ingredient alone and it would be perfect, the plate combination was a winner! Every course had the perfect execution of seasoning, flavor, portion size, and combination.
The grand finale - THE DESSERT CART! If the bread cart was not impressive enough, the end of dinner (after the course dessert) dessert cart can make this sweet tooth-holic cry. While most good restaurants serve bon-bon of small chocolate and candy, Guy Savoy has a small candy/ dessert shop on a cart. You can get anything from cookies, to chocolate, to fresh sorbet. If they are serving pear sorbet, make sure to sample it.... Maybe one of the best sorbets EVER!!! -

Guy Savoy, located in Ceasrs Palace. Four hour fixed dinner with wine pairing. Food was excellent, and service was good as well. The wines they paired with the meal were just OK. When you pay these prices you would expect quality wines, but instead they served off vintage mediocre wines. When we made the reso they allowed corkage, but they changed their corkage policy a few weeks before we arrived and wouldn't allow us to open a few special wines we muled to Vegas for this meal. Restaurant was very empty with maybe only three to four table seated. The caviar presentation, cheese art, and bread were all outstanding. I have to consider the price a little when rating this. Food+wine pairing+tip $500. I guess I was expecting to be blown away.

We were under a time constraint the night we ate here and I had no time to go back to our hotel to change into something that would be more fitting for a fancy dinner. This means I showed up dressed in a cable knit sweater, distressed jeans and my Hunter wellingtons. Yes indeed, I looked as if I was ready to shovel ankle-level piles of horse manure; I did not look like I was ready to eat at a 2-Michelin star restaurant.
This is not a new thing for me, as I have been caught dining at Michael Mina restaurants wearing a baseball cap and puma sneakers. It's my ironic way of saying "f*ck the establishment" while inhaling mini spoons of caviar, basking in the hypocrisy of my so-called "principles".
The wonderful thing is that despite my shoddy appearance, the service we were provided with at Guy Savoy was no less than perfect. There is much to be said about a group of servers who treat you like you are the Queen of England herself despite it all.
We were scheduled to watch a show following dinner, and the server who greeted us at the table made sure to be mindful of the time. He disappeared and appeared again with a silver plate carrying what looked like two bite-sized waffle pieces.
"The second amuse for tonight, Mademoiselle," he said, quite pleased with himself. The first amuse-bouche had been some toast that was spread over with foie-gras au torchon which had more of the consistency of liver pate.
I picked up one of the bite-sized items and looked at it. I was right, it was literally a piece of waffle with parmesan cheese on top, being served on a silver plate no less. I almost busted out laughing.
My boyfriend and I had the veal chop with the truffle-infused mashed potatoes. I do realize that this is a French restaurant and that portions are small; I accept and understand this fact. There was however a point during our meal when the server came back to our table with a small skillet and asked if we wanted some more veal. Of course we took him up on the offer since we both spent a good amount of time trying to find the veal on our plate beneath a small lump of baby carrots and a lone scallion. So the server picks up his miniature tongs and reveals a piece of meat that looked like a flesh colored piece of trident gum. I am not making this up. Not that I was not grateful to get more food, but I was more thinking to myself, "What was the point?"
The entire dinner bordered on comical, though it is not in the least terrible. However, I would probably recommend eating at Picasso, which is comparable to most things at Guy Savoy (in my opinion) at a fraction of the price. Or save your money and splurge on Robuchon. But if you want a good honest laugh, I would recommend Guy Savoy.Listed in: Michelin Schmichelin

First thing I noticed was the restaurant it's self was a little plain and the ceilings were quite high so the room echoed when people spoke .
For the food ... Oh the food ! Nothing short of delicious ! We did the tasting menu and added the Foie Gras then ordered a bottle of wine . Everything came out in a timely manner and was irresistible . The bill came out to almost 1000 but it was well worth it ... -

I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here because the food was excellent and I didn't have to pay the outrageous bill. My husband's boss treated us to the entire tasting menu.
I didn't know I was going to have dinner at some fancy restaurant when I flew out there last minute to meet my husband so I had to go buy a dress. I splurge and bought a DVF dress. We got to there early so we sat at the bar. They offered us some cute little burgers on a stick. The bartender asked me what I wanted to drink and I said "surprise me." He made me some delicious berry martini. I could drink 8 of those.
During our four hour dinner, all the food, the service, and the wine was amazing. My favorite was the bread cart. It was like a work of art. The cheese cart and dessert cart were fabulous too. I was drinking my special martinis and all the paired wines. I loved how they served everything with such flair. My favorite was the artichoke soup. I was so wasted but since it was over a long period of time I managed some decorum (I think).
The bill was crazy but my husband said since my dress cost about my portion for dinner, its like I got a free dress. I am not sure if that makes any sense, since I still had to pay for the dress. Anyhow, I got dinner and a dress out of the whole trip so woohooo! -

I dislike this place and will never recommend it to anyone. Fine dining to me involves 1) Unique wonderful food 2) Immaculate service - this is why you pay so much more, which is why it's called fine dining.
If you look, I usually like to only review places I LIKE. So people will go there. Why waste time to help advertise places I do not like. This is an exception.
Here is the gist, my friend had left because she was hung over. She had ordered bread from the cart, prior to leaving. I did not. So she got her food in a box and left, while myself and 4 other friends stayed for the rest of the dinner. While we were enjoying our entrees I was eating HER bread. The bread was wheat bread, and I admit, was delicious. So the waiter (whom french accent sounded super unauthentic) seeing that she left, comes over to clean up and remove her place setting - which is normal. He reaches over and grabs the plate with the bread on it, which was next to me. I tell him "No no leave the bread, I am eating it". Now, what is the common sense thing to do, if you were the waiter?
Think about it... Common sense?!?!
Answer: You put the plate down!!! walk away and let the customer enjoy the bread!
Right????
You do not even need to say anything, but of course, instead of doing this, he spoke back in condescending tone "But monsieur, that is the ladies bread" as if I broke some sort of natural law- Is it really unacceptable for me to eat someone else bread?If the same situation occurs at any other restaurant, I can *almost* guarantee you they will put the plate down and would probably even be glad to do so.
So he grabs the plate (with my hand on the plate as well!) and said "I will bring you another bread". I totally recall thinking... Why is he arguing with me? So he takes off with the plate and this was when I was not too happy. He did come back with bread, but it was NOT the same type!! Obviously, I am not going to make call him out because it is not the same kind of bread but this added to my fury!!!!
Alright, because this happen with bread, you may say "it's only bread" Well, lets substitute this situation with say.. soup. Your friend leaves so you are enjoying their clam chowder which was ordered. The waiter comes over to deny you of it, even though you ask to leave it there. He brings you a new bowl of soup, however when it arrives, its some cream of broccoli.
I know most of you would say something about the soup!
Anyways the food.. I ordered the Kobe Beef. I had six ounces of it, its sold by the ounce. It was not good. The above incident occurred during the main course, so I stopped eating. Left a couple ounces on the plate and did not allow anyone to touch it.
Another one of my friend saw I was upset and so she said something to the manager (or owner, not sure) and he provided complementary glass of wine to everyone. I made sure nobody drank the wine they gave me.
I do not need this crap and you do not either, hundred of places in Vegas to have a great dining experience. I walked out upset.
it maybe a funny story with my friends and I now but at the moment, I was Pissssssed.
Never again!
Breakdown: 1-star for the manger who did something. 0 star of everything else. -

We did the Menu Prestige. It broke bank, but boy were we stuffed! Roughly, we got served 15 different things, many of which were not on the menu. The dishes were small, but cumulatively, you come out with a pot belly. All of the dishes were masterfully crafted, as how it should be. Another wow moment was the wine bible. It literally looked like one.
Our server was excellent. She gave us a tour of the place. We got to see the Krug Room. I learned that it is an honor to have the Krug Room in your establishment because you have to be selected for this. We also got a tour of the kitchen where tables are set up for private parties who want a first hand look of at the food is prepared. I liked how the staff had good anticipation of your needs. I had them write the different kinds of bread or meal paired with and without even asking, they also gave us a list of the cheese and desserts we sampled.
I am only giving it four stars however because I remember feeling "truffled up" at the end of the meal. I like anything truffle but after being served dish after dish after dish with truffles and caviar, I wish I had had some palette cleanser in between. Thus, the missing star in the rating is for the lack of foresight in coming up with the sequence of dishes on the menu. Otherwise, I recommend this place for anyone who wants to feel like a millionaire!
Winners on the menu for me were the Peas All Around, the Colors of Caviar, the Foie-Gras and Radish Bouillon, Artichoke and Black Truffle Soup.
Come early if you want to do the menu prestige. Three hours is not enough. Check out my photos for more info. -

According to those late night charity ads on TV, I could have fed 3,500 poor African people for six weeks with the money we spent at Guy Savoy. Four of us, over $2,400. Great meal. But was it worth it?
One can't go cheap here. If you skip ordering a bottle of wine, you will find they have a superb and expensive wine-by-the-glass just waiting for you. But that's a good thing.
The food is superb. So is the service and the ambiance. The bar is for diners only. I like this because it's both snobby and pretentious. Hey, if this meal is costing $1,200 for me and my wife, I want to experience all the superficial, insecurity-driven emotions one gets to experience by not eating with "the little people". I'll be better in my next life.
The only slight negative is the exaggerated French accents of some of the staff (think Pink Panther).
Hey, it's a super-expensive, great French restaurant. You already know that. My take is that if you are willing to pay the $$$$, you won't be disappointed. -

Joel Robuchon or Guy Savoy?
For us, Guy Savoy :)
How did we decide? It really came down to the menus. Yes, we analyzed each menu down to the T and ultimately decided Guy Savoy had everything we loved. Here was our chance to finally try it since my bf has wanted to dine at Guy Savoy in Paris. Instead, we opted for Guy Savoy's Le Chiberta. We LOVED it so we knew Guy Savoy in Las Vegas was the right choice.
DECOR: Located away from all the clamor, Guy Savoy was the opposite of what I expected. When you think of Las Vegas, you think of fancy, colorful, exquisite (practically gaudy) decor. However, when we walked in, everything was very minimal. It felt like we were inside a villian's lair - dark, gray space, tall, never-ending ceilings and a long sexy fire place in the Bubble Bar. However, simple colorful artworks hung on the walls and beautiful bright colorful crystal ware sat on top of the tables. It also felt depressing but I absolutely loved it. Like a mini getaway from the craziness of Vegas.
Menu Prestige, 7/31/10 (MY BIRTHDAY, BABY)
Tomatoes in Iced Gelee - I have never, NEVER in my life had a favorite dish that was not some sort of meat. This was my absolute favorite dish. Though the menu online says oysters, I didn't mind at all. I can't believe how well this dish was made. Every slice of tomato was delicate and full of flavor. It's like each slice had the flavors of 10 fully ripped tomatoes. Delicious.
Langoustines in "Cold Steam" - This dish was not only very tasty but visually stunning. After the dishes were explained, they added liquid to steam the lobster meat right in front of us!
Crispy Sea Bass - I don't even like fish but this dish was so good. Light, perfectly cooked, moist with a flavorful crispy skin.
Colors of Caviar - Absolutely beautiful, both presentation and taste.
Foie Gras - They brought out these bloated pouches, poked them right in front of us and inside was our steamed foie gras! It came with these bitter greens which I didn't care for. But foie gras? YES.
Artichoke & Black Truffle Soup - I was sooo excited for this dish but it ended up falling a little lat for me. My bf soaked up each drop with the croissant-like bread that came with it. Woody flavor with a rich artichoke taste. Salty from the pieces of parmesan cheese. Good, not mindblowing.
Sweetbreads - We actually ended up switching out the veal chop dish for the sweetbreads. LOVE sweetbreads! Lightly crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. So tender. Wonderful light sauce. Think high end chicken nuggets.
The Vegetable - A few carrots and such. Nothing great but excellent plating...and a breather from what's to come.
Fine Cheeses - WOOOOOOW. Cheese cart was awesome! I had 3 blue cheeses and 3 mild cheeses. Absolutely love the blue cheeses. YUMMY!!
Strawberries - Who doesn't like strawberries? Little cubes of strawberry "jello" and basil...so pretty and delicious.
Sorbet - Peach something. Heaven in my mouth. Soooooo goood.
Chocolate - They surprised me with a birthday dessert - dark chocolate and hazelnut. YES, soooo good. Their dessert cart was CRAZY good. I had 3 pieces and the server insisted I have more!! Rice puddings, sorbets and truffles of all sizes.
Wine - Their wine list was as thick as 2.5 Harry Potter books. Kid you not, that thing had its own stool. We chose a pouilly fume and the server was so kind, he kept the wine label for us in the form of a card!!
Breads - Yes, Guy Savoy has its own bread cart and bread pairing if you're interested!
Service was perfect. Very accommodating, helpful, kind, warm and friendly. Our main server (a very tall man) was so sweet! I wish I could remember his name but honestly, it was so unbelievably good. I just might return. Besides, their Bubble Bar serves the same food at a fraction of the price!
Guy Savoy made my birthday perfect! Oh yea, and my boyfriend too :)Listed in: Top Restaurants

Everything was delicious and perfect, but the bill totaled over $800 for two people.
We went way too late (8 pm on a whim) and after 4 hours and only 6 courses deep (out of 10 plus cheese and dessert) my boyfriend was ready to call it a night. I wish we could have taken everything back to our hotel room for the morning nosh.
I'd love to go to the one in Paris someday.
Truly an unforgettable experience. (Especially since the last hour was spent trying to keep my boyfriend awake. Pretty sure his thigh was bruised the next day). -

Five words: Artichoke and Black Truffle Soup.
If Joel Robuchon ever decides to retire again, Guy Savoy will certainly meet your needs. The carts are just as elaborate, if not better and the atmosphere in the dining room radiants with Franck Savoy presence and charm.
The "want more Bread guy" is just as charming and funny. We'll definitely come back here as we did the a la carte menu for the first time. So expensive but well worth it.Listed in: Memorable Meals

***First of all: This was the best meal of our lives.*** I would give it six stars, if allowed to. It was also one of the most expensive (by quite a bit).
My wife and I had eaten at Guy Savoy's original restaurant in Paris and thoroughly enjoyed it, so we had high hopes for the Las Vegas location. This location is in Caesar's Palace and is supervised by Guy's charming son. It is located in a quiet part of the place with an understated dining room from which a perfect view of the "Eiffel Tower" at Paris, Paris may be seen. It is oddly transporting in that bizarre Vegas sort of way. The seating density is VERY low, which is great. When loud talkers wearing gold chains and other bling chat, you really cannot hear them. The clientele is a mixture of gauche high rollers, foodies, and special occasion sorts.
Quality and service here are impeccable. The meal starts with the champagne cart which has a dozen offerings by the glass. Where we live, you are lucky to find a basic champagne by the glass, much less an assortment of top tier houses. The bread cart has a dozen and half kinds of bread from walnut bread to a seaweed bread. There are two kinds of butter from Normandy: a salted and unsalted version.
The menu is organized as a tasting menu or one may order ala carte. We chose ala cart and ordered three course, which included Guy's famous black truffle and artichoke soup. Everything was without flaw AND filled with passion.
All well and good, but the service was the best part. Guy Savoy has the most gracious staff ever. If I had asked "what is chicken?", they would have immediately described it with no hint of talking down to the guest. Everyone was immensely kind and helpful, while staying professional. They also were invisible when they should be invisible and somehow present when they should be present. Half empty butter holders disappeared and were replenished without any disturbance in our conversation. All together impressively seamless. Guy's son watches over the well trained staff and visits each table with warm and genuine care.
We were quite full after our three courses and decided to just have an espresso, passing on dessert. Our espresso was accompanied by three more gratis courses of sweets, including a cart of candies, pastries, ice creams, etc., then petit fours. This was the continuation of a pattern of several gratis mini-courses during the meal.
As we departed, we were presented a beautifully packaged box of house-made chocolates. The bill was huge, BUT it was worth every penny. The value was there. If a person is planning on seeing a show in Vegas and getting great seats, you would pay about as much. Why not try a world-class restaurant for a few hours. You'll be amazed. -

I'm not sure why I've hesitated writing this. I just adore Franck Savoy, Guy's darling son. He runs the restaurant with his wife, but I've not had the opportunity to meet her yet.
One of the culinary highlights of our life in Vegas was dinner here -- sadly, it wasn't with my husband but with my Mother (who adored every sip, every taste) -- but I look forward to returning with my husband just the two of us. We went one night after a show, in hopes of simply enjoying a perfect glass of champagne in the bar since it was so late -- but instead, we were treated to -- yep - a fully comped tasting menu with seemingly bottomless glasses of champagne. Such a surprise -- and such a delight -- every bite.
The evening's only ? was having to deal with Paris Hilton and Cris Angel who wouldn't stop smoking in the bar -- they were attending Elton's birthday party in the PDR but for some reason thought leaving the party was appropriate...oh well.
The original Maitre d' at Spago Hollywood, Bernard Erpicum originally officiated over the champagne bar -- the tales he can tell -- and he's known my husband for years, so we were well cared for. Since then, however, Bernard has moved on and is now at Aureole, if memory serves.
I've been a fan of Monsieur Savoy's since my first trip to Paris twenty years ago. So having him come to Vegas now so regularly, and having the opportunity to visit (damn, I wish my French was better) with him, instead of simply being another mouth to feed, is a dream come true. He should be so proud of Franck, who's such a talent, such a lovely host. But mostly I love how good he is to my husband and that he regularly dines at my husband's restaurant so that the two of them can visit.
We wish them all the best -- and look forward to many meals with them for years to come.Listed in: The Strip List: according to…, Top Restaurants

Review from MYSTEREX X.
Los Angeles, CA

I ate at this establishment on November 10th, 2007. I know about Chef Guy Savoy (Pronounced Gee- Sa-Vuah). I know about his restaurants in Paris, France and all the accolades he has received. Including having received three Michelin Stars. This restaurant in Las Vegas is his first restaurant here in the U.S.A. It is located on the second floor of the Augustus Tower at the Caesar's Palace Hotel and Casino.
With all this in mind, I decided what the heck, let's see if this guy, Guy Savoy, is all he is cracked up to be. When I arrived, all I saw was two gigantic doors leading into the restaurant. As I neared the door, a beautiful young woman opened the door and greeted my friend and I. They ushered us into the cocktail lounge and asked if we wanted to have a cocktail while we waited. Since I had planned on having the Chef's tasting menu with the wine pairings, I opted to wait for my table. The decor was very simple yet elegant.
After a few minutes of waiting, our table was ready. They asked if we wanted to have some wine or a cocktail. I informed them that we were going to enjoy the Chef's Tasting Menu-which is called, "Menu Prestige" with the wine pairings. It almost seemed like the waiter, some guy with a french accent, got a smirk on his face. He then asked if we had any time constraints. Time constraints?--are you kidding me. "Uh, no. We don't have any time constraints. We are here to enjoy this dining experience to the fullest." He said, "Excellent, then we shall begin."
It was at this point when our three (3) hour dining experience began. Okay, let's move on to the good stuff---the food. They started the meal with a tiny little skewer with bread and Foie Gras, their AmuseBouche. First of all, if you go here. When they walk the little bread cart to your table you will be overwhelmed with the different varieties of bread you can get. Ignore all of it and just ask for the Bacon Bread. It is to die for. The only other place I have ever had bacon bread was at Joel Robuchon at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino here in Las Vegas as well--that's another review.
Here is what we ate:
Oysters in Ice Gele-- (A good way to start the meal. It was very flavorful a nice little bite)
Hamachi Carpaccio, Golden Oscetra Caviar, Cauliflower, Caviar Sabayon-- (The Hamachi was awesome and the flavors interacted with each other nicely, it wasn't over the top)
Maine Lobster, Carrots, Orange and Star Anis-- (they served this and added some sauce on our plate as they were explaining what it was-It truly was something else. I can't say I have ever had anything like this. The flavors melded perfectly)
John Dory with a Crust of Walnut and Chive, Watercress and Salsify, Roasted Jus-- (This is a fish that is not commonly found on menus. Not very easy to get. Nonetheless, we had it here and it was beautifully prepared. I am not a big fan of Watercress but it worked well with this dish--truly impressed)
Roasted Foie Gras "en Cocotte", Cardamom Infused Duck Bouillon, Glazed Chestnuts and Galette Grand Caraque--(Foie Gras--I am getting hungry just writing about it--In one word, Awesome)
Artichoke and Black Truffle Soup, Toasted Mushroom Brioche, and Black Truffle Butter ( I did not expect the soup to taste as good as it did. The presentation was good with Black Truffle and Parmessan Cheese Shavings on the top)
Poussin la Broche , Black Truffle, Fingerling Potatoes and Chanterelles--(This was a roasted chicken. They brought out the entire chicken for us to see, presentation was nice. The taste was simple, as simple as you can get with Black Truffle, but so good)
Slection de Fromages Affins-- (We got to choose from a variety of different cheeses. In the end, we had a little bit of every single cheese. You could truly taste the quality of the cheeses)
Pear--( This was a dessert of items made out of Pear. Pear Sorbet and Roasted Pear. It wasn't too sweet. It was just right and the pear wasn't overly cooked it was still crisp)
Chocolate Fondant, Crunchy Praline, Chicory Cream--(Speaks for itself)
After this, they brought out a cart with some Petit Fours and different kinds of sweets. I enjoyed a rasberry lollipop made in house. I had to ask for another one it was that good.
The food was truly exceptional. The service was just as good. I noticed that Franck Savoy, the Chef's son, who happens to run the place was actively participating in serving and making us feel at home. I have to admit, I was a little surprised to see, "the Boss", working and not just pointing his finger and bossing his people around. This told me a lot about the philosophy of this particular restaurant. Did I mention, they were just awarded two (2) Michelin Stars for this restaurant this month. A very huge accomplishment--they are one of only three restaurants with two stars in Las Vegas. I have pictures of the plates and a copy of the menu. Email me if interested. Very Expensive but worth it! -

Pssst . . . This is a top notch restaurant, and you can actually dine here without breaking the bank (relatively speaking) if you do a bit of homework. I'll even give you the Cliff Notes.
If you go to the restaurant bar (the Bubble Bar), they have a special menu with 10-12 items. You can order them in "little bites" for $10 each, or "big bites." The little bites are tasting menu portions - the big bites are full size portions. The best part (among many)? Many of the bar menu items are the same things found on the regular menu, but at a fraction of the price (even the big bites)!
Put it this way - I had the whole bar to myself (it's not that big - FYI - I went on a Wed., so can't say if it crowds up at other times). I had three little bites (oysters, lobster avocado salad, truffle-artichoke soup), one big bite (Turbotin), and a half order dessert and a glass of wine -- the whole thing cost $100 (not cheap, mind you, but a heck of a lot more manageable than the hundreds of dollars other folks drop there). They also threw in 2 amuses, plus their awesome assortment of fresh bread.
Oh, right - the food and service -- both outstanding. I'm hard pressed to think of a better place in Vegas, and certainly not for the price I paid.
If I ever have a chance to go back, I'll probably design my own tasting menu in the bar - how does a 9-course tasting menu for $90 sound? Just don't tell 'em it was me who let the secret out . . .Listed in: Best Las Vegas Restaurants

After seeing Julia and Julia, I was on an excursion to try out all the things French Cuisines, and this came at the right time.
The restaurant is hidden inside Cesar in the corner with a very narrow space. The decor is mimimal considering the price on the menu. People who ate there that night was very snobbish, and acted like royality like.. LOL
I came here with my bf and we are casual people, so the fun from looking and observing the crowd was hysterical..
Food... its was ok, simply not the best, and the price is extremely high.. by bf couldn't stop talking about the price of a wine listed on their menu for $40,000. We opted for $100 bottle which came out to be the best wine I've had.
We' chated a bit with one of the waitress there and she gave us some other places to try that wouldn't break our savings, she was uber cool. -

The evening of May 7th, 2009 will be one I will remember forever! It was the night of the Master's Series Dinner at Restaurant Guy Savoy. One of the kick off events of Vegas Uncorked. The evening started with Champagne and some of those little Foie Burgers I loved so much my first visit.
I was soon escorted to my table and introduced to my tablemates; Angelo and fellow yelper, Mary Ellen. I am so used to dining solo that I had almost forgotten how enjoyable intelligent and humorous conversation can be. Thanks guys!
Now on to the food.
1st Course
Asparagus Soup with Fried Asparagus.
Just a nice small treat to begin the evening.
2nd Course
Lobster Raw "Cooked" in Cold Steam.
Sweet Carpaccio of Lobster was served on a vented plate that hid some dry ice. When a Soy based sauce was poured over the Lobster, "steam" rose through the vents. Quite a show! Served with Veuve Ciiquot Rose Champagne.
3rd Course
Turbot with Black Pepper Sabayon and Young Leeks.
Mild, delicate fish, with a nicely spiced, peppery sauce and sweet grilled leeks. Paired with a 2007 Chateau La Nerthe Blanc.
4th Course
Cannons of Vegetables Stuffed with Escargots, Mushrooms, Herbs, Mushroom Emulsion.
This dish looked beautiful. The Vegetables were wonderfully cooked and sweet. The Mushroom emulsion was deep earthy and full of Mushroom flavor, but the stuffing didn't really excite me. The Escargots should have been the star, but really got lost in the other components of the stuffing. Served with a 2006 Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay.
5th Course
Artichoke and Black Truffle Soup.
This is a classic Savoy dish and was just as good as I remembered! Served with a 2006 Domaine Chandon Pinot Noir. This was my favorite pairing of the evening.
6th Course
Truffle Loin of Veal, Black Truffle Potato Puree, Spring Vegetables.
Perfectly cooked, decadently studded with Truffles. The potatoes were so good they reminded me of Robuchons. Served with a 2005 Ceretto, Bricco Asili, Barbaresco.
7th Course
White Sphere
A white chocolate sphere that, when a sauce was poured over revealed a hidden raspberry mousse. Quite an impressive show. Paired with a 2004 Domaine de Coyeux, Muscat de Beaumes de Venise.
8th Course
The Famous Dessert Cart!
One of the high points of the night was the opportunity to meet Chef Guy Savoy himself! This was an amazing evening of food, wine and friendship.Listed in: Jackpot!!!, My Best Meals Ever!
