wow what a huge dissapointment at what could be a really great restaurant! my husband and i had 8:30 reservations and looking in a half full dining room they made us wait 20 min before we got seated!(i really hate this, all they were trying to do was push us on the bar and press us to buy over priced drinks!!, ) when we where finally seated we still had to wait a good 5 min before anybody even noticed we were there! the food was very good dont get me wrong and prepaired perfectly, but a 45 min wait between apps and dinner? nobody ever filled a water glasses? they even forgot one of our side dishes!! and i had to waive the waiter down to get it!! this was worse service then what you expect at a dennys!! and this is a fine dining $150-200 a head wolfgang puck restaurant!! like i said food was great, but everything else was awful

We were hassled IN THE PARKING LOT by a homeless man. After a really pushy conversation while my wife was standing right next to me, I was so agitated I had a hard time enjoying the food. Service was average, nothing exemplary. We mentioned to one of the waiters about the situation outside, and he said he would take care of it. After dinner was over, we came back out, and he was still there.

Pros: Good authentic French food

Cons: terrible parking, LYING waiters?

Your Review: This field is required. * Be conversational: Write it as if relaying your experience to a good friend. * Be specific: Generalities like "lazy service" or "tasty pizza" leave people wanting more detail. * Be yourself: If you're an expert on burgers, let us know. If this is your first-time massage, say so. * Compare apples to apples: Burger joints shouldn't be held to the same standards as four-star restaurants. * See User Review Guidelines

Contact: Lee Ann Groff-Daudet or Jean-David Daudet Las Vegas’ favorite French Restaurant – Pamplemousse le restaurant - now open for lunch Mondays through Fridays and dinner seven days a week Founder George LaForge hand picked Jean-David Daudet and his wife Lee Ann to join him in the operation and ownership of the 85 seat restaurant. Daudet hails from the Burgundy region of France, where he owned and operated his own acclaimed restaurant, Le Trou Poinchy, for twelve years before moving to Las Vegas as the Executive Chef for Drai’s at the Barbary Coast. “What Georges LaForge created in Pamplemousse is a very special place where friends gather and enjoy great food. My goal is to keep all that is wonderful about the restaurant – the charming candlelit rooms, the waiters reciting the menu, the classic dishes like Duck, the Lamb, and the Veal, the crudité basket, olives and French bread that we deliver to each table.” Daudet has added a few of his own specialties including a Chilean Sea Bass cooked with soy and ginger, Salmon with Spinach in a Puff Pastry, a Tomato and Goat Cheese Tarte and some new deserts including a Chocolate “Volcano” Fondant and a Grand Marnier Soufflé. “We’re using a greater amount of organic ingredients, and have expanded the wine list – particularly the wines from France and California.” The restaurant is now open for lunch Monday through Friday with a special “bistro” menu that includes classics like the Croque Monsieur, Moules Frites and Coq au Vin, as well as a variety of salads and soups.

The waiters were wonderful, attentive without being intrusive, and everything was explained to us in great detail. I enjoyed the Escargot for my first time and my husband who does not usually eat seafood, greatly enjoyed the combination appetizer of shrimp & scallops., The restaurant is lovely., cozy and intimate The wines we had were very nice. All in all, it was a wonderful experience to celebrate the wedding of our friends.

Pros: Excellent Food & Service, Romantic Ambiance, non obstrusive attention. 3 star Michelin Chef

Cons: Parking quite small ( but getting improvements) old building from the 60's(downtown)

No Menus - Me and my boyfriend don't speak french. We ordered with "uhm and ahh". We took suggestions from the waiter Bad Parking - We parked parralel to Sahara. It was a very busy night. Not in the best part of Las Vegas Stuffy Restaurant - Very small. Wasn't "romantic" like I had originally thought. Not enough room to do anything. Waiters constantly were leaning into our table to let others pass. Waiters - Perhaps it was a long day for them. Very huffy and impatient. Felt a little ackward like we had done something wrong. I would never reccomend someone to here.

Pros: Not on the Strip

Cons: Parking, Ambience, Rude Waiters, No Menus

This was by far the best dining experience my wife & I have had in years. We felt like we were long-time friends of the staff by the time we left. The food was spectacular, plentiful, and quite reasonably priced. On the way there, the cab driver asked us how may times we had been there, to which we answered "none, why?" His reply: "because most people I drive there dine there every trip they take to Vegas" Enough said. You WON'T be disappointed.

Pros: reasonable prices, friendly staff, memorable food

Just returned from Vegas. As always, we had a dinner at Pamplemousse. Party of 10. Outstanding food and value. This was our third dinner with Pamplemousse in the past year. Twice with groups of 8 and 10 and once with a party of 40. They have not missed a beat. Even opened 15 minutes early for us this time....so we could make a show. We will always dine at Pamplemousse when we are in Vegas and you should too. Price......salad, appetizer, main entree and wine....skipped desert since we planned to have it later......$52 including tip......that is outstanding value in Las Vegas!!!

This is a nice place a bit off the strip in Vegas. The outside is unimpressive, but the inside is cute and looks a bit like a wine cellar. They start every table off with a crudite of very large vegetables with some fantastic dressing, great hot bread, and olives. The main courses are good - we tried the duck with cranberry sauce and the veals, both ways. Dessert was profiteroles which were good, but not fabulous.
