Went here for an anniversary on my last trip to Vegas, and had a great dinner. Made reservations for 6:15pm on a Friday night and got seated right away. We even got a window table with a view of the Bellagio Fountains. \n\nWe ordered some cocktails that were from their cookbook, so we decided to try them. I cant remember what they were called, but they were good. \n\nThe avocado cold soup thing that they brought out was great, it was crisp and for lack of a better description, tasted like a super fresh, smooth quacamole. \n\nWe split the heirloom tomato salad, which was so light, yet so flavorful. It was so good, we had to try to make it at home when we got back. It had heirloom tomatoes, avocado, radish and some celery leaves. The dressing was tomato water with a basil oil. SO GOOD. \n\nThe bread guy that comes around is great. He does his job well, maybe a little too well. I was full off the bread before the meal even came. \n\nFor dinner, we ordered the Filet Mignon and the Beef Wellington. The filet was tender and flavorful, and cooked just right. They tell you in advance that the Wellington cant be cooked to order, because they have to cook it until the puff pastry is done, which is good for those that dont already know that. We also ordered the creamed spinach and mushrooms and the au gratin potatoes. The spinach and mushrooms were delicious, and the potatoes were decent. They just didnt \"WOW\" me. \n\nWhile ordering your meal, the server asks you if you will be ordering a Souffle, because they have to put the order in early since they take time to cook. We read reviews on Yelp that said you have to try the souffle, so we chose the chocolate one. It was light and had just the right amount of flavor. Next time, I think I'd like to try the raspberry one, if it is in season. The waiter was super nice, and he brought out this cute chocolate...thing...on a plate that said happy anniversary in chocolate. \n\nSince it was a nice night out, we bought tickets to go up to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and it was super convenient that we could buy them through the restaurant. We also bought a copy of their cookbook, so that we could learn to make that addicting tomato salad at home. Our bill came out to just under $300, for 2 people. Not too bad considering we paid $35 for the cookbook and $30 for the Eiffel Tower Tickets. \n\nThe only reason I am deducting one star, is that the downstairs staff isnt very friendly, and when we had trouble finding the elevator to go up to the restaurant, this elevator control lady was rude, telling us that this was only the DOWN elevator and to stop pressing the button.
