Editorial Review for Joel Robuchon at The Mansion at MGM Grand – by Ryan Slattery
In Short
This intimate 64-seat restaurant has five seating areas with a design that gives a nod to 1930s Paris. High-rollers enter through a black-and-white tiled foyer lit by a crystal teardrop chandelier to a main room with soaring 17-foot ceilings. Robuchon's Asian and Spanish influences flavor a menu that changes daily. Recent offerings include pan-fried sea bass with lemongrass foam and stewed baby leeks, and sauteed veal chop with natural jus and vegetable taglierinis flavored with pesto.

overpriced.......meager food.....phony go there to impress yourself and then have dinner afterwards, since there is little to eat at this dinner.....a one inch piece of veal was good.....................knock yourselves out if you need to go here.....or go to Picasso, 'Rosemary, Prime in Las Vegas for real food.

The expected expenditure made me very nervous, but perusing the menu, and reading recommendations, I really wanted to try this restaurant. Eventually, my husband told me to stop worrying about the money and make the reservation to celebrate our anniversay. I must say I regret nothing. Purple velvet booths, real linen table runners and napkins. Black marble floor and counter in the bathroom. Serene and gentle atmosphere, cut off from the noise of the MGM Grand casino. No expense was spared in making this a unique and separate space from the rest of the hotel. I made reservations that morning for 6:00, with tickets for the 10:30 showing of Ka, right next door. I was asked when I made the reservations whether it was an "occasion". We arrived a few minutes early, were greeted by no less than 3 people, and were seated immediately. The entire atmosphere was quiet, gentle, relaxed, yet elegant and definitely moneyed. The sommelier made a fabulous wine recommendation with us merely indicating a light red, minimal tannins, reasonably priced. Of course, "reasonably priced" still wound up being $200, but considering the price of the dinner, that wasn't a big deal for us. Especially considering I saw at least 2 bottles on the 35-page wine list at $10,000.00. The sommelier did a wonderful job of making the wine last the entire meal, and since DH and I are neither heavy wine drinkers, neither of us felt at all deprived by it. Service was sublime. The food was fabulous, I couldn't possibly go into all the details of the 16-course meal, but the highlights: sevruga caviar, sea urchin, beef bone marrow, kobe beef. The bread was all fabulous... we tried maybe 8 of the 15 fresh types they offered. They brought us out a cake to celebrate our anniversary, which made us feel very special. The entire meal lasted 4 hours, and easily could have taken more. Definitely the experience of the lifetime. I hope to repeat it.
Pros: Service, Food, Ambience
Cons: It's expensive, especially if you're a big wine drinker.
