I'd give L'Atelier 4.5 stars. It is truly one of the top 10 restaurants in Vegas, and one of the most unique fine dining experiences because of the casual setup of sitting at the counter, watching the head chef call out orders in French and the other chefs working away. The decor is very appealing - black and red throughout, with a dark sexiness to it but also touches of color. I love how they use food as an integral part of the design. Service is terrific. When I saw that the $75 prix fixe menu entrees had changed from what was online from cod to salmon, I asked our server if they could still do the cod, since I'd had salmon the night before. He checked with the chef and said no problem, even asking if I had a preference of preparation. The 5-course $75 prix fixe was terrific - foie gras parfait amuse bouche to start, then veggies with mozzarella, langostine fritter, cod or pork belly entrees (my dad and I shared both), cheese plate, and ice cream and sorbet sampler or tart sampler for dessert (again, we shared both, but if you can only pick one, go for the tarts!). Each course was fantastic! While still a bit pricey, the $75 deal is great considering normally your only options are to order a la carte at $20-30 per dish or to order the $148 per person tasting menu. I'd rank L'Atelier behind my other two fine dining experiences in Vegas, Picasso and Mix, but it's still one of the best meals I've ever had. Take advantage of the $75 deal while you can!
