Joel Robuchon Las Vegas Reviews
We have tried some French restaurants but never a big fan.
So far, Joel Robuchon is my favorite. A kind reminder if you make the reservation through MGM app or website, there are only two options listed: Tasting menu $525 which we got and the other option is Express menu (you can decide which one to get on site: $235/$295/$335) and they also have vegan menu you can request on site. Wine pairing option and drink menu are available as well. If you stated the special occasion while booking the reservation, they also offer complimentary cake for the birthday or anniversary. And every table (not every guest) gets a loaf of pound cake to take home. I liked most of the dishes, but the lobster, the scallop, and the cold creamy foie gras are my favorites. The famous French duck always scares us when it's too raw, so our server was nice and told the chef to cook it to medium as we saw other table's duck is pretty raw. The bread cart and the dessert cart are fun to your eyes, and you can select what you like to try and ask for more later if needed. It's a very intimate (not spacious) but classic interior design. There are 3 different areas of the restaurant: The waiting area with open bar, only open to the restaurant guests, the main dining room, and the artificial garden outdoor seating area. The service is actually pretty lean back and friendly, comparing to the solemn servers in Eiffel Tower. We enjoyed the time here. Will return.
We had our anniversary dinner at Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas
We had our anniversary dinner at Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas this year. It is always a pleasure to celebrate with our beloved daughter. Joel Robuchon is the only 3 Michelin star restaurant in Vegas, which is the highest rating in the Michelin system. However, it should also be noted that Michelin has stopped rating restaurants in Las Vegas since 2009. We had our expectations set very high, although it was a very nice experience indeed, at this price point, there's room for improvement in our opinion. The venue was decorated to resemble a luxurious Art Deco townhouse that even had a lush garden terrace. It had beautiful and intimate seating, the couch that Daughter and I sat on was fluffy and comfortable! Since the restaurant was small, there's always some staff standing in close range watching you, sometimes it could feel a little awkward. Each of us had the Degustation Menu and I expected the food to be nothing less than perfect. We liked most of the dishes. My favorites were Le Caviar Imperial, La Tomate, La Saint-Jaques, and Le Black Cod. However, I have to deduct 1 Yelp star because of the high price and the last savory dish -- La Canette. At $525 per person for the Degustation Menu, when we compared their quality and quantity of food to other 3 Michelin star restaurants such as Alinea and Grace (now closed) in Chicago, it is overpriced. Also, there was no wow factor to me. Actually, the piece of duck in the La Canette dish needs a lot of improvement. The skin was not crispy as mentioned in the server's description, the layer of fat underneath it was so chewy and rubbery that even a knife couldn't cut it away. The duck meat was just OK. Hubby said that his whole piece of duck was chewy. After having some excellent Peking duck and roast duck with crispy skin and tender meat recently, this piece of high-priced duck was a disappointment. Service was impeccable. Our main server, Andrew, was very friendly and attentive. Actually, all the servers were nice and professional. As I read from other reviews, the bread cart and the mignardises cart are always impressive. The presentation of the complimentary cake to celebrate our anniversary was lovely! The small pieces of the anniversary cake that we actually had were not too sweet and were refreshing, and had a sorbet texture to them! It was a pleasant surprise that they gave us 2 gift bags of Lemon Pound Cake to take home after dinner! It tasted dry the next day when we tasted the cake in the hotel. However, when I microwaved a piece a couple days later when we were home, it tasted good and moist with a nice lemon aroma, the lemon rind was nice too. All in all, it was a good and luxurious celebration dinner in Vegas!
What an experience! Every part of this meal was absolutely
What an experience! Every part of this meal was absolutely luxurious, from the ambiance and decor, to the delicious and gorgeous courses, to the amazing service. I had been waiting years to come here and finally got around to go by making the time. There were a couple things I wish were different. For example I wish the bread they gave was warmed up. The baguette was hard like a rock. However, most of the other breads were delicious...comte cheese bread, brioche, and gruyere cheese bread. Every course was just a work of art. The service was so delightful and the waitstaff were a delight. They were extremely attentive, personable, and made sure the experience felt like you were the only one in the restaurant. I cannot wait to come back and I can't recommend Joel Robuchon enough. It was a meal of a lifetime and I look forward to coming back. Tip: Save room for the dessert cart and the Joel Robuchon potatoes. I have never tasted a more heavenly potato purée. They offered me another serving, and while I really wanted to, I had no more room to squeeze that in.
The ambiance was quiet and fine dining.
The servers were extremely professional. The food was average, nothing mind blowing. They just use pricey ingredients. The uni pasta was way too salty. The wagyu steak was a bit tough. I spent $1200 for 2 people getting the 5 course meal. There were all these extra charges we didnt notice but thats fine. The main problem was the manager. It was suppose to be 4 of us but 2 were late and wouldnt let them join us. Then the manager was rushing us, telling us that they needed to close the kitchen. He was a complete dick!! He acted like a rich stuck up person. I wanted to walk out but didnt want to make a scene in front of my date. But even she was saying that he was acting like the terminator. He ruined our experience, and food wasnt even great for them to be so cocky. Cant believe they won 3 michelin stars. Dont waste your money here, its so over priced
Exquisite dining venue, truly worthy of the 3-star
Exquisite dining venue, truly worthy of the 3-star designation. From the ambience to the arrangement of courses, staff professionalism, everything was perfect. Truly memorable experience all around!
When Las Vegas had a Michelin guide, Joël Robuchon was the
When Las Vegas had a Michelin guide, Joël Robuchon was the city's single three star restaurant. Traditional French cuisine is served in a beautifully decorated dining room. Overall, Joël Robuchon falls short of what I have experienced at other Michelin three star restaurants. The interior of Joël Robuchon is exquisitely decorated. No expense seem to have been spared in the sound deadening materials used to keep the dining room silent or the ornate chandeliers, vases, and other decorations throughout the restaurant. It truly feels like eating in a mansion or castle's dining room fit for royalty. The food overall was decent. A typical bread cart with unlimited helpings is supplied, and the variety of breads is nothing short of spectacular. Similarly, at the end of dining, a diverse dessert cart with well over a dozen options is available. Unfortunately, a cheese cart is no longer offered. My wife and I opted for the Menu Dégustation and the mid-level wine pairing. The Menu Dégustation features several of Joël Robuchon's traditional dishes, such as the Le Caviar Impérial and mashed potatoes (both separate courses). While most of the dishes were excellent, a few were not. All of the seafood that I was served was rubbery and overcooked. Definitely not something that I would expect from a $525 tasting menu. The wine pairing really paired well with the food and probably was the best that I have had at any restaurant in Las Vegas. The pours were very stingy, though, and I probably would instead order a single bottle of wine next time. You are given a generous breakfast pastry for the next morning after dinner. While all of our servers were friendly and attentive, service was not coordinated the way it usually is at Michelin three star restaurants. Several times, there were not enough servers to serve our dishes, leaving the runner to awkwardly stand there with our dishes while no one was able to bring them to our table. Similarly, the consistency of their sommeliers is a bit lacking. Our main sommelier took a lot of time explaining what each wine was, where it came from, etc., but went missing halfway through dinner service. His replacement simply poured our wine and left. Not terrible, but definitely not at the same level as other Michelin three star restaurants that I have been to. Joël Robuchon is an amazing restaurant for its history - the namesake of the chef who holds the record for most Michelin stars awarded to them - but falls short when compared to other Michelin three star restaurants. When I think of such a restaurant, I think of a beautifully choreographed ballet, but this was more like a rehearsal.
Anniversary special meal .
From first entering until walking out with a bye bye bag ( which my wife loves ) we had an amazing experience. Staff were efficient and attentive without being in your face all the time . Nothing was too much trouble Food was incredible , imaginative, delicious and extremely well presented . Some may say expensive, I'd say worth every penny for a special occasion .
Ten and a half years ago, I proposed to my wife over dinner
Ten and a half years ago, I proposed to my wife over dinner at Joel Robuchon. Fortunately, she said "yes" otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take her back there to celebrate our 10th anniversary. A couple of months before our anniversary date, I called the restaurant for reservations and made a special request to be seated at the same table that we had been seated when I proposed. The person taking my reservation couldn't guarantee my request would be fulfilled, but it would be noted on my reservation. We arrived at the restaurant a few minutes before our 6:00 PM reservation. After a very brief wait in the lounge, we were taken to our table precisely at our appointed time. Thankfully, in the decade that had passed since our previous visit to Joel Robuchon, the layout of the dining room was largely unchanged so, much to my joy, we were led to the table that I had requested. We knew going in that we were going to have the Menu Degustation and only had make a decision on drinks. On our previous visit, I don't recall if there were set wine pairings available with the tasting menu because we likely would've gone that route had there been. However, this time around, there were three pairings (Village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru) consisting of different wine selections set at different price points. We went with the mid-tier, Premier Cru pairing. Almost as soon as our order was placed, our dining experience began as the service team filled our water and wine glasses, wheeled over the cart of amazing breads, and prepared the accompanying butter. Our table was prepared for the first course and soon after, a precisely choreographed parade of thoughtfully conceived, perfectly executed, aesthetically pleasing, delightfully delicious food was brought forth for our enjoyment. The selection of wines were, not unexpectedly, mostly French pulled from Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Rhone regions, and paired perfectly with each corresponding course. Rather than giving a blow by blow of each course...I loved them all!...just take a look at my pics of our menu and the food we received and see if it tickles your fancy. I deeply enjoy French fine dining and, in my opinion, Las Vegas is the best place in America to find it. Joel Robuchon is the epitome of French fine dining in Las Vegas, and it holds a very special place in my heart. It's not an inexpensive night out. In truth, it's definitely not for the faint of heart when it comes to the price tag as it can easily add up to and surpass a month's rent or a mortgage payment. That said, EVERYTHING about Joel Robuchon from the setting, the service, the food, and the wine was impeccable. It's the perfect place for the most special of occasions.
In 42 years I can honestly say with NO exaggeration that
In 42 years I can honestly say with NO exaggeration that this is the single best dining experience I have ever had. Know going in that the cost is very high but it is 100% worth it. From the greeters, to the walk to the table, to the bread cart and butter display, it was just like nothing I or you, unless you've been, have ever seen. Each server was so kind, from their tone, to their verbiage and gesturing. It was incredible. I wish I could tell you what to order but check out my photos - there is no best dish, they all are. Erik Wood stood out in that he was running things that evening truly made our experience the 11/10 it was. Erik is someone any restaurant / company is lucky to have due to his passion for people, food, the respect he has for staff, the kitchen and pleasing guests. Look, if you can spare the money for an unforgettable experience, please be smart and come here. I'd advise call as FAR in advance as they allow.
This is definitely a place that everyone should try at
This is definitely a place that everyone should try at least once. Robuchon sets the bar high for any other restaurant around. The service from beginning to send was spectacular. Great for special occasions since they are really good at recognizing it. I highly recommend the full tasting so you can experience all the dishes. Also the take away pistachio chocolate bread is on another level. Worth every penny!
What a remarkable dining experience.
Elegant ambiance, impeccable service, and incredible food. The tasting menu is definitely worth it!
Fabulous spot
Fabulous spot to celebrate special events. The food was magnificent. The wine was amazing. The service was really good.
Savoring Culinary Excellence: A Delectable Journey Through Joel Robuchon
My dining experience at Joel Robuchon was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was simply outstanding, with each dish showcasing the chef's creativity and expertise. I especially loved the bread and desserts, which were incredibly delicious and beautifully presented. Every bite was a delight to the senses. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, patiently explaining each dish and offering recommendations. Their passion for food and dedication to providing exceptional service truly shone through. It's no surprise that Joel Robuchon has earned three Michelin stars – the quality of the food and service speaks for itself. I can't wait to return and indulge in another unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended!
Delicious food

Impressed
Robuchon always impresses. The dishes are beautiful and tasty. The food is delicious. The staff is very professional.
Truly world class food, service, atmosphere and amazing
Truly world class food, service, atmosphere and amazing ambiance. An evening to remember from all aspects. Highly recommend for any special or important events
I must say, my experience was absolutely fantastic.
Whether it was the quality of the ingredients themselves or the overall presentation, everything was truly exceptional.
The emperor has no clothes
Food was not good, i couldn't even eat some of it, plus the restaurant is looking a bit worn with the faded dusty greenery, our bill for 2 with tip was $720 and we felt taken. We felt weird about admitting the food was not good but we have eaten all over the world, so we do have some experience
Visited vegas in December for our wedding anniversary and
Visited vegas in December for our wedding anniversary and as we've made it a thing to do Michelin star restaurants for our anniversary every year, Joel Robuchon (the only vegas restaurant to ever receive 3stars) obviously became a must. Made reservations well ahead of time. The ambiance is true fine dining, elegant and no loud background noise. We were seated in the garden/patio-ish area that's pretty much isolated from the large dining tables in the main dining area. It was intimate and private and we loved it. There were other couples in that section too. Although the tasting menu is seasonal, they did have a couple of their signature plates there like the Le Caviar Imperial which is always the very first plate served. We didnt realize how full we were getting towards the end that i thought i was not going to be able to complete the whole tasting menu. The missing one star is for the several 3-5 dishes back to back with shaved truffle incorporated in them that the flavors started to mix it was so hard to remember what the previous dish was. Quality of the food surreal but just lacked that creativity i was rooting for. Overall though this was one for the books! I would still recommend it. Again the menu is seasonal and you might have a mind blowing experience.
Nearly speechless about this experience.
..so I'll end the review with that! But really, I never imagined actually eating here. I'm not the most motivated to venture into high priced restaurants. Having been to Paris, France multiple times with tons of authentic French cuisine, I still would stick to what I know. So the thoughts of foie gras and duck weren't that appealing. But I really put all my trust in Joel Robuchon. I was most enticed by the idea of trying his pastry as I am deeply passionate about patisserie and all French sweets. But I also thought that if anyone can make French cuisine taste good it'll be at Joel Robuchon. It started out right with seeing the diamond award. The bar area was quiet and inviting. I loved my cocktail, it was a Paris Cosmo and I spent a lot of time trying to find out what the blue garnish flower was that they put into it. It ended up being a blue corn flower and it was gorgeous. I think the menus are very fair. You can get a set that it really simple or go for the 10 course meal. The bread basket was just stunning. I could make a meal of that alone and had to use all my self control not to just keep eating bread. But the amuse-bouche was a cauliflower puree with caviar and broccoli. I don't eat caviar pretty much ever but it was just so light and not oceany at all. Very good. I enjoyed my chestnut veloute and cheese mousse as well as my poached egg. The Australian wagyu was good, a tiny bit chewy but the taste was great. Of course the classic signature mashed potatoes were really smooth and flavorful. But the piece de resistance was the dessert cart. Over 30 different varieties of French sweets everything from: tarts, gelee, guimauve, macaron, eclair, baba, chocolate bonbon, and so on and so on! I was full and had 2 desserts already but I completely could have had at least 1 of each from the cart but settled for maybe 10 different desserts. This was for my birthday and it was an incredible experience! Of course the servers are super elegant and have an authentic French vibe. Would completely return for another visit.
We've always wanted to try this restaurant, and a birthday
We've always wanted to try this restaurant, and a birthday seemed like a great opportunity to do so! Make your reservation (easy to do on their website) well in advance, as they fill up quickly! We arrived early and were seated in their luxurious lounge area and enjoyed two cocktails while the table was prepared. The Cosmo de Paris cocktail was delicious. Ice cold - perfectly balanced - and just amazing. This set the theme for the remainder of the evening. We were seated in a small side room which made you feel like you were in a small garden. There was no one at the adjacent table, but if someone was seated there I could see it being a bit crowded and not too private. There are two menu options. You can chose a 10 course tasting menu; however, you get no choices with this option (each course has only one choice). There are other options with differing numbers of courses, and with these options you have many items to chose from for each course. We each chose a six course option (amuse bouche, two appetizers, one entree, one dessert, and miniature sweet cart). Some options do have an additional supplemental cost - mostly options containing caviar. The amuse bouche was an amazing cold cauliflower soup with crunchy broccoli and crispy rice paper. Then came the bread cart. WOW! There were literally about 15 different types of bread which they bake fresh daily. Your choices will be warmed and presented to you along with shaved butter and olive oil which is presented beautifully from a separate cart. More bread is available throughout your meal, and subsequent bread is served from a small tray rather than wheeling the cart over again. I chose the beetroot salad and the lobster as appetizers. Both were amazing. The beetroot salad was so refreshing, and I wasn't sure how I would like the accompanying mustard sorbet. It was amazing as well! If they can make mustard sorbet delicious, they are true experts. The lobster was served as thin slices of lobster between thin slices of Japanese radish topped with black truffle. I have never liked truffle, but these lacked the pungent earthy taste I have had before. They were so mild! Overall another amazing dish! For an entree I had the sea bass. It's a small portion, but it had such an amazing taste! Perfectly prepared, and the lemon grass foam was truly stunning. Entrees are served with their signature mashed potato which has to be one of the best mashed potato I've ever had. Perfectly creamy and delicious. Save room for dessert!! I had the chocolate souffle ($10 additional) which blew me away. It was like a moist, rich chocolate meringue inside with a perfectly slightly crunchy, chewy shell. Then, after dessert, enjoy the cart of "sweets" featuring petit fours miniature dessert options. There must have been at least 20 different options to choose from including macarons and so, so much more. Service was very attentive if not the warmest, and the entire meal lasted about two hours. This was probably among the best meals I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying, and you leave feeling quite satisfied despite the smaller portions. I recommend reviewing their current menu ahead of time, as if you are a picky eater it is possible that you might struggle to find something you will like given their unique and often esoteric dishes. I cannot recommend Joel Robuchon enough!
Double date splurge time.
Came here because the hubby really wanted to check out a Michelin star restaurant in Vegas. We've gone to others before but it's been some time. The decor of Robuchon is accordingly decadent and a feast for the eyes. Service by the host/hostess was great with accommodating coat check and a bar area where you can sip a cocktail while waiting for your table to be ready. We did not go balls to the wall for the degustation menu this time - maybe another time - but I had the menu prix fixe with 2 entrees. Overall, I found the appetizers to be the strongest and most creative contenders. The entrees were good, but not mind-blowing (admittedly, I did not order a seafood or vegetarian entree, so YMMV). I did enjoy the venison for its extremely dark and hearty flavor, although the rest of my group didn't care too much for it when they sampled. Shoutout though to the bread and dessert carts, those were so delicious and fun. We found the weak point to be the service. Nobody was rude or obviously negligent - but if you have Michelin stars I am going to be rating you at a benchmark that is suitable for the number of stars you have. There were times when we made requests for things and we had to ask twice. There was no urgency to cater to diners' requests nor was there 'proactivity' in terms of service. Was there one major situation that they fumbled? No - but it was more of an additive effect of just the wait staff not being 100% attentive that made it feel like something was amiss. Again, if this wasn't Joel Robuchon and I wasn't being charged upwards of $200 for my meal, I would've easily given the place 5 stars. This is just based on what one would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. I'm down to try this again, for a very special occasion.
Chef Villanueva true to Robuchon tradition
Wonderful four hour gastronomic adventure. Not for everyone. 13 three star Michelin places in the entire US. (My fourth). New head chef keeps the quality in tact. Excellent warm service. Thoughful dishes, small and interesting. Not a place for a big cut of meat Bread and dessert carts are outstanding, as is the butter and olive oil service. This is an experience, not a meal. Food is personal. Bon Appétit!
Yes!!! The tasting menu is the best decision we made! My
Yes!!! The tasting menu is the best decision we made! My husband got the wine pairing and it was to die for!! The wait staff was fantastic! The restaurant was very quiet and easy to hold conversation with your table. We will definitely go back! Also ... can I get a dozen more scallops?!?!?!
It was here that I fell in love with foie gras.
Then california made it illegal. Then it became legal again, I think. The quality of the food goes without saying, it has three tire company stars, or had them once, technically. And the decor is beautiful and classy. But it isn't a great place for a date since everyone seems to whisper. It feels out of place in vegas, where people like to be showy when spending money.
Not so great.
My second visit here, first time was better back in 2018. It’s gone down hill and was kinda disappointing in fact. You can do better for your money.
Six months ago I had visited this French restaurant tucked
Six months ago I had visited this French restaurant tucked away in a back corner of the MGM Casino. I was pleasantly pleased by the ambiance as you first entered, elegant and small almost feeling like a private dining room made for a group of close friends. What follows next is the pleasant and attentive staff, willing to answer questions, keeping water glasses filled, a Sommelier who suggests the perfect pairing for each course, and a handful of waiters ready to address needs while you are dining. One of the delightful experiences this time was enjoying a cauliflower mousse as the first course. Chilled and velvety smooth, with a droplet of caviar, it was a delicious starter. The Chestnut soup was light and flavorful with a sweet onion foam on top. The Iberico was tender and topped with herbs and a hint of tasty sauce. But the biggest surprise was the truffle spaghetti! Who knew? This restaurant was well worth a second visit and will definitely be on my list to entertain friends in the future. Thanks again for a wonderful dining experience.
Joel Robuchon is one of my favorite restaurants in the US.
I find all the courses outstanding, especially his signature mashed potatoes. It's really amazing how such a simple dish can be elevated to the levels at which they're prepared here. This is one of the rare instances where I found almost each dish equally remarkable, so I'd just point to the photos on this one and say you have to go. On a side note, the dessert is pretty cute, but more about the aesthetics to me than the actual flavor. That's not to say that it wasn't good; it definitely was, but I'm just stating what I mostly got out of it. Also quite noteworthy is the presentation of each dish here. You'll be served some of the most beautiful meals you'll ever see, and that's just something that really stood out to me as well. The service is on-point, as you'd expect of a Joel Robuchon. The dining room here is pretty intimate. Comfortable chairs, good chair to table ratios, not noisy at all. I fly to Vegas just to eat here. I friggin love Joel Robuchon.
Amazing dinner!
The best in Vegas our favorite in the world! This might be our 20th time eating here. The consistency is thrilling the service impeccable
A TOTAL SCAM
I am not usually one to write a bad review, but I felt like it was my duty to do so in this situation, with hopes that it'll help someone out there not waste their time or money here. This place is nowhere near the quality and service of a 3-Michelin star restaurant, or any Michelin stars, at that. (I looked up when it received its Michelin stars, and it was 2009. A lot of its other awards were also before 2010. Perhaps the quality was different when Robuchon was alive?) Anyhow, I would not consider the quality of the food and service as fine dining, and I think the worst part about it is how much you pay for it. It is a complete scam. Our server, from beginning to end, made several mistakes - starting with saying "Happy Anniversary" (it was my husband's birthday - but maybe the server was confused since the menu said "joyeux anniversaire"? But did he not know what that meant? I mean, I didn't know what that meant, but it did say "happy birthday" right above it.) I also repeated several times that I had a nut allergy and to let me know if there were items I couldn't have, but he proceeded to recommend items that clearly had nuts anyway. He also would forget what we ordered, then come back to check - only to give my husband an incorrect order anyway, after repeating it to him. Then another server took over and didn't help the situation at all by attempting to justify the other server - "he can't see, and won't wear glasses, and he refuses to write things down." Um, ok? And then the quality of the food itself...some of it was disgusting, and some of it was... just something that would have been passed on a tray at a bad work event. They try to make it look fancy with their presentation, they bring out the bread cart, the dessert cart, whatever... but ultimately, all of the food is pretty meh. And also, the ambiance itself isn't upscale at all. It's pretty tacky, like maybe it was the early 00's. We were seated in what felt like it was supposed to give the feeling of outside? But you're not outside? With fake plants surrounding you? It's very weird. The entire vibe of the place felt really uncomfortable, and I joked that someone must have been murdered there and the ghost was haunting the space. And all of this would have been fine and forgivable if it was some cheap chain restaurant known for low-quality food, but I think the worst part about this place is the fact that they're trying to come off as this fine dining experience that charges an insane amount. After being scammed I googled to find out more, and I found an old YouTube video of the people who run the place saying "you're paying for the memory." I wish I had seen this video beforehand, because what a red flag - if you have to say that, it means your food sucks. And it did. Please don't go here. IT'S A SCAM. And as someone who has eaten at multiple Michelin-star places as well as multiple sketchy places, this is the worst restaurant meal I've ever had in my life.
Not what it was, and even comps poorly to other locations
Over the last 20y this is the 3rd and most disappointing time that I have been here. The hardware, and location in the MGM grand is the same, and fine, but the smallest details, which Joel Robouchon, was insistent upon are now dead. The bread trolley selection, as amazing as ever, but it tasted stale, the bread not warmed up enough, so it was cold in the middle, when served, the 2nd round of bread, served cold. I wanted the guinea fowl dish, but was told of 2.5 hour preparation!, so why not make that warning, that a pre-order is required? Given the fact that I have had this dish prepared in under an hour at other Robuchon locations, makes me dubious, on the words of the waiter. The peaches in the sphere dessert, not quite ripe, and the details issues continue. It was my birthday, so points for a mango sorbet, meringue surprise cake, but to get just a slice, when the a hole cake was presented was a bit strange, and to give something that really couldnt be taken home, was too quickly served, straight from the freezer. For the price, you expect perfection, and this restaurant and staff are far too complacent, living on past glories. So looks like Guy Savoy and truffle and artichoke soup, next time.
Worth it for the butter alone!
Incredible food and incredible service. Expensive, but you get what you pay for. Apologies for the prose, but a sea of tranquility in the hustle and bustle of Las Behas
Fantastic Restaurant
One of my favourite Las Vegas Restaurants. Worth it!
Elegant and indulgent
We had the full tasting menu with wine pairing- it did not disappoint. Each course was delicious, and the bread cart and dessert cart were a nice touch. Definitely allow about 3 hours if doing the full tasting menu!
It was a pleasure to dine at Joël Robuchon and I can
It was a pleasure to dine at Joël Robuchon and I can confidently say it was an experience of a lifetime. From the moment my husband and I entered, the staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Their warmth and hospitality set the tone for the entire meal. Our server was exceptional in every way, from his in-depth knowledge of the menu to his attentiveness to our needs throughout the entire meal. He was able to answer all of our questions about the dishes and ingredients, and even offered some great recommendations for my husband who is vegetarian. He was also incredibly personable and made us feel right at home. The server assistants also expertly brought and removed all our dishes in a quick and careful manner.The sommelier possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of wine and expertly paired each course with a perfectly complementary glass. His passion for wine was infectious and added an extra level of enjoyment to the meal. Each selection heightened the flavors of the dishes. He even discussed whiskey with my husband. And then there was the food. Hats off to the chef for creating the best dishes in the country. We were blown away by the artistry and execution of every dish. The flavors were bold, complex, and rich. The presentation of each dish was carefully constructed and beyond beautiful. The tasting menu will take you on an unforgettable journey with the chef. The extra dish that was brought to me was also delicious with a glaze that was silky and delicious. My one regret was that although I was able to finish almost every plate, I left much of La Canette on the plate. It's difficult to choose my favorite dish as the chef truly has a gift for combining ingredients. I would definitely recommend the Menu Dégustation to be able to enjoy every delicate and exquisite dish including the Les Crustacés, Le Foie Gras, Le Black Cod, and the La Canette. The desserts were gorgeous and light capping out the perfect meal. As a vegetarian, my husband also felt the same attention was afforded to every dish he received and remained especially enamored with the risotto and Robuchon's famous potato purée.Overall, our experience was top-notch. Thank you to the absolutely amazing server and sommelier, and incredibly talented chef that made us feel like royalty. I highly recommended this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience, it is a must for anyone visiting Las Vegas.
Simply amazing.
Tasting menu is to die for and wine pairings were perfect. Some of the best fish and dessert i have ever tasted. Worth the $!!!!!
You spent what? Yes, and I'll do it again.
Three of us dined there for my 60th. My buddy ordered the Vegetarian pre-fix and Village Wine pairings. My wife and I did the full 12 course, she ordered 2 glasses if wine that went well with what she had. with. I had Grand Cru wine pairing. When I read something about people returning food because It wasn't good, especially if you are doing a tasting meal, I say it's on you. The flavors and profiles Unfortunately at times requires The same palate for enjoying extraordinary food as it does extraordinary wines. If you don't like something, sure that's ok, but it doesn't warrent A bad review like what I have seen Especially when you have expectations for everyday food experiences. Anyway, sorry about the rant. The food, the service, and yes that Grand Cru wine experience was worth it and I would do it again. And I will.
Exceptional! Best in my experiences of fine dining
Exceptional! Best in my experiences of fine dining tasting menus. Delicious dishes, beautiful venue with sophisticated ambience, immaculate attention to details of service without being overly dramatic. I will definitely return when opportunity arises...
What an incredible dining experience! Fine dining but not
What an incredible dining experience! Fine dining but not pretentious. I'm so thankful for the kind hostess who accommodated us as walk ins. Servers were genuinely nice. Knowing Robuchon's amazing bread service, I opted for the 4 course and my husband the 5 course. I was so full I couldn't enjoy the dessert cart but they offered to box some to take with us!!! The best part was enjoying the good food with the amazing scent coming from the diffuser behind me! Would love to know what the scent is!
Amazing!! Definitely worth it.
The bread was some of the best bread I have ever had. We will be back next time we go to Vegas for a smaller tasting.
Una experiencia inolvidable.
Uno de los mejores restaurantes que he visitado. Por algo está entre los mejores restaurantes Michelin en Las Vegas. La comida es francesa, una experiencia culinaria muy elegante y de acuerdo a las tradiciones francesas. Desde que entras al lugar entras en una experiencia culinaria fuera de lugar. Todo es muy elegante, desde las decoraciones hasta la presentación de los platillos. Completamente recomendado. ¡Perfecto para aniversarios! El menú, es un conjunto de tasting menús. El servicio de los meseros fue algo fuera de lugar. Expertos en todos los aspectos del menú desde los panes hasta los vinos.
Well, this was THE dinner.
I have peaked in my dining career at 33. At points I forgot to take pictures because I was totally immersed in everything being presented. Upon entering we were greeted by the host and asked if we had a reservations. From there, the hostess asked if my SO wanted to check her coat. Once service started I was so locked in and in heaven. We both did the menu Dégustation at 485 pp. If you are coming here I can't recommend this option enough. You are taken on a journey of Joel robuchon's life, every dish that made a name for himself. I was so lost in euphoria during every bite I had. We also opted for two different wine pairings, one at 995$ and one at 395$ both were spectacular and I would encourage couples to do the same because the sommelier will have amazing stories about the vineyards of both pairings. I could go on and on about this special night but if you love food, and love amazing service, you have to dine here at least one time. I am literally forever thankful to the care that was given to us, the detail and flavors from the kitchen, and the genuine feeling like we were part of their crew. They made a special night, one of the best nights of my life. They sent us home with a gift box for dessert. A loaf of dessert cake. A visit from their gm. We shared stories of where we were from and realized we knew so much about people from the same area. This will be forever the dinner I talk about the rest of my life. Thank you to the crew at robuchon.
This place is a once in a lifetime fine dinning experience
This place is a once in a lifetime fine dinning experience you will never forget. The ambiance is perfection, sets the mood for a romantic evening out. Forewarned, this place is very pricey but we'll worth the price.The service is impeccable, and attentive to your every need. We started out with some delicious cocktails to set the mood. They have two different kinds menu services; the tasting menu and then set menu choices where you pick a few items from entrees and then desert. Having these ranges of choices is great, and allows you to curtail dinning around those choices. They brought out bread and French salted butter to start the evening. We went with the roe to start with, moved onto the venison and game entrees, and slowly made our way thru the desert sweets they brought out. The food is unforgettable in every way. The deserts didn't stop there, they have a desert cart after that is impossible to say no to as well.Overall this fine dinning experience is worth the price, and you will never forget it! I know we won't ever!
Whatever I eat in Vegas, does not stay stay in Vegas.
It get posted and reviewed on Yelp! The food is high quality and you get unlimited bread and dessert. The two most dangerous and delicious part of your meal. If you don't eat a lot, skip on the bread until your last course. But don't get too full or else you won't have room for that dessert cart. I know, it's hard. I can sympathize. My favorite dish was the black cod with butternut squash purée. It was the most underrated looking but surprisingly delicious dish. The butternut squash purée was tasty, creamy, and paired well with the black cod. What made our experience extra special was when we asked our server if we could have our courses served in reverse, they said yes with their recommendations that dessert remains last because of the bodily response to sugar. Lastly, the decor of the restaurant is absolutely picturesque. The ambiance is romantic yet grand. A fabulous place to take a loved one to. Lastly, yes this is a very pretty penny. Reservations are required. Bon appetit yelpers!
Had a lovely time at Joel Robuchon.
Everything is just as you'd expect. Nice atmosphere, service and delicious food. Our group chose to do the wine pairing and it was excellent. Wonderful experience We won't soon forget.
What an experience! Must visit!
One of the best dining experience, hands down! I've been fortunate enough to dine at many Michelin rated and other fine dining establishments and Joel Robuchon is easily the top 2 of my list! Unfortunately my husband and I weren't very hungry and opted for the smallest course, which worked out perfectly as the bread and dessert carts provided us with more than enough food that we can stomach. As expected of a Michelin restaurant, their service was outstanding! There were so many servers handling different tasks, such as one was responsible for solely holding a tray of food while other servers deliver said food. Usually it's the same server handling the food from start to finish. I wasn't expecting too much about the food because not all high end restaurants deliver flavorful food. They may look exceptionally beautiful, but they don't always taste as good as they look. My appetizer was good, not amazing, so I didn't keep my hope up. As soon as I took the first bite of my entrée (Ribeye) however, my taste buds went straight to heaven! It has got to be one of the best... if not THEE best... steak I've ever had! A5 Wagyu be damned! Sure it didn't melt in my mouth like a Kobe steak, but the flavor was extraordinary! Perfectly seasoned with every single bite! No bland piece to be found! My husband's venison dish was flavorful as well but it came second to my steak. The bread and dessert carts were my Achilles heels. I knew not to partake in too much carb prior to dinner but I couldn't resist their selections. The butter was flown in from France and was carved with a spoon tableside. It was just as good as the butter I had when we were in Europe. Very smooth and silky. Although I was stuffed to the max, I had to try some desserts as well. They were just simply too beautiful to the eyes that my stomach couldn't say no to. We had such an incredible experience that we'll be taking the rest of my family here for dinner in the summer. This is truly a place that one must visit in their lifetime.
Overpriced
I would consider myself a well traveled foodie and I have eaten at high quality restaurants all over the world. Joel Robuchon did not disappoint for food quality. However, I was overwhelmed by the price! I’m good to spend $300-$400 on an excellent meal. But my husband and I each had a three course tasting menu and with drinks our bill was over $700. My appetizer was tiny - a few shaved radishes with some lobster meat between. Four bites. I then had the Scottish venison as my entree. This was amazing!! Beautifully presented. But it was two tiny medallions equaling about 3 oz of meat total. I feel like the amount of food did not equal the price. Taste would be 5 stars but I can only give this place three stars because of the value. Too expensive for so few bites of food.
