Restaurants near Wedding Chapels at the Bellagio

We enjoyed an excellent meal accompanied by outstanding service at Beauty & Essex in the Cosmopolitan. Lue was our primary server. He was most congenial and offered perfect suggestions for our first time there. Each dish was beautifully plated and very creative. Kudos to Chef Chris Santos! We started with their famous Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Dumplings topped with smoked bacon served in individual free-standing spoons. A very surprising taste delight. Next, we had the Tuna Poke Wonton Tacos chiffonade with cilantro, radish, wasabi kewpie. Tasted as fresh and bright as if we were enjoying poke on the Big Island. This was followed by Thai Style Deep-Fried Shrimp with green papaya slaw. These were large, very crisp and super tasty and very much complemented by the papaya slaw. The last dish was their Little French Dips of slow-roasted beef, gruyère cheese, horseradish, garlic aioli with house-made au jus drizzled over the top. The beef was tender and very good but could have stood a bit sharper horseradish sauce to compete with the other dishes we tried. For desert, though we hardly had room left , we had an order of their Black-Bottomed Butterscotch Pot de Crème topped with coconut Chantilly and their mango sorbet. The butterscotch was sinfully good and the mango sorbet amongst the best we have had. Matching the delightful meal was the exemplary service offered throughout the dinner by the many waitstaff who passed our table.

We got the truffle ramen (SO good), lamb ribs and smashed cucumber. All dishes were prepared well and hit the spot. If you are rescheduling your reservation make sure you get the name of the person who confirms the reschedule. We showed up thinking we were on time though the reschedule was never noted so we were a half hour late and lost our seats. Hostess was thankfully able to sit us at the bar.

Great food, great service always fresh. Visit everytime we come.

Everything is always great there except for the hostesses. We seem to always have not so friendly hostesses. They’re not rude. Just very stern and cold and not willing to bend. We requested a bigger table to combine our 2 parties (kids age 12-17) and there was one but it wasn’t allowed unless we ordered a specific menu. And yes, we’ve been there at least three times this year. Food is always good though.

I’m disabled so was on a scooter. Since I couldn’t walk very far, the hostess took us through the back entrance and seated us right inside the door. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make my birthday a memorable one. The food was simply spectacular. I had the 6oz filet, medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. The brussel sprouts were the best I’ve ever had. The crab cakes (appetizer) was equally good. Every time we finished something, someone was there to take the empty dish, but done in such a way that you hardly noticed. When our favorite steakhouse closed last year, we started an our search for a new one. This will be the new favorite, hands down.
