I was so very excited to eat at a Thomas Keller restaurant! What a complete disappointment.\n\nThe place was empty at dinner, and that should have told me something.\n\nI was seated outside and provided two \"vines\" of bread with butter & a small bowl of pistachios. One of the stars I'm giving is for the butter, which was the perfect texture & consistency. I ate the bread, which was hard and stale, primarily for the butter.\n\nAs a first course, they were doing an off-menu special of Fruits De Mer, which the waiter described as a take on bouillabaisse. Small bowl of bland, bland, bland, flavorless tomato water with the most tender seafood I have ever out in my mouth. The squid and octopus were the most incredible texture, which sadly was not complemented by the rest of the dish. Accompanied by a \"crostini\" which was an untested slice of stale bread slathered with an average aioli. The seafood accounts for the second star.\n\nI ordered the lamb for a main. I love lamb, and eat it on the rare side...but not the purple side. Totally undercooked, poorly seared, and just rubbery.it was served with undercooked peas and some tasty square of an unidentified food that may have been potato. The lamb was inedible and I sent it back. Got another one that was almost as rare and completely gristly, rubbery and inedible. And completely oversalted. That was it, I sent it back and checked out.\n\nThomas Keller has the reputation of being a perfectionist - that's his brand. I felt this was very much a case where a celebrity chef has lent their name to a restaurant that they haven't set foot in since it opened. I cannot believe that Keller would, for even a moment, allow the horrible food that came out of that kitchen to bear his name.\n\nAt least I hope not.\n\nSo many great dining choices in Vegas. Skip this one for one where the chef is actually aware of the food being sent out.
