Payard has a very quaint setting even though has a huge presentation from the outside looking in from Caesar's casino. Dana decided to eat the Eggs Florentine, while I went with the Classic Croque Madame. Everything was quite good albeit a little rich considering my next stop was the gym.
The Eggs Florentine
Eiffel Tower Restaurant View from our Table:
This was our big night out dinner. So we knew it would be pricey, and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is quite cool. You walk into the Paris Casino and go to the middle. There is an elevator straight up the middle to the base of the faux Eiffel Tower. Then from the restaurant, 2 entire walls are glass looking out over the Bellagio water fountains. It reminded me of Windows on the World, which sadly does not exist anymore.
We decided that Dana would order the tasting menu and I would selectively pick some other orders. We also decided on the American Caviar flight of 3 caviars. The black tasted close to sturgeon, which is the good Russian and Iranian caviar.
The Scallops were delicious
The Cream of English Peas, Smoked Trout, Creme Fraiche
Not sure
And then my phone finally died and no more pictures. I have some from Nero's on a disposable camera once I get it developed. I highly recommend the Eiffel Tower restaurant. The service was great. The sommelier was knowledgeable and the setting is cool. I am surprised it doesn't get more press.
Nero Seafood and Steakhouse
This was a disappointment. The meat was charred way too much on my T-bone. I like Northwoods Inn by my house for 1 third the price much better. But the bone marrow was interesting and shocking. A giant bone full of marrow was the presentation. It was very rich. Not sure I am a fan but it is a delicacy. The crab and lobster appetizer was delicious though. I think the steak just didn't work for me. But the restaurant in general was quite nice.
