Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in The Orleans Hotel & Casino

Beauty & Essex is one of my Las Vegas favorites. The atmosphere is fun, and the music is just right as a precursor to a night out. The servers can be a little slow with cocktails, but overall service is great. Our water glasses were never empty and food was well-paced. As a group of 6, we ordered 10 different dishes and 2 sides. This is a family style / sharing type restaurant. We were hungry, but didn’t finish all the food. I would say a moderately hungry group could probably go with 6-7 dishes with 1-2 sides and be fine (assume 1/person + 1/4 of a side). The downside is most of the dishes that were the favorites, are those that only had one portion per person. In our party those were: chicken meatballs, grilled cheese dumplings, and the kale apple salad. Least favorites: French dip sliders, scallops, and the filet. Of the sides, we got French fries and broccolini- both great (get horseradish aioli with the fries if ranch is your usual go to). The drinks are good, but I didn’t see anything I found particularly creative and different from similar establishments. Beauty & Essex is great for groups due to the family style plates and atmosphere. It’s loud, so maybe not the place to have conversation with everyone at the table. However, if you need a place to eat before hitting the town Beauty & Essex has great food with an energizing ambiance.

I accidentally booked a reservation for 2 instead of 3 (including our 10-year-old) for 7:30 on Christmas night. We called to let them know and were relieved that they were able to accommodate us. The next reservation for 3 was at 10:30 PM when I realized my mistake and tried to change my reservation. The roast chicken a la grand-mere was delicious and perfectly cooked. The frisée & lardon was very good. My daughter got the steak et frites, which was a bit tough but she liked it. Banana Foster was pricey but delicious. Asked if we could room charge but the waiter said it takes 10 minutes. I’m assuming he didn’t want to do the room charge. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and were grateful that the manager approved the change to our reservation.

We were almost seated next to the noisy kitchen but the hosted immediately sensed our displeasure and called for a different table. Both were great views of the Bellagio. Roman was our lead server and the server team was very attentive. The steak and chicken were the most tender we’ve ever had of either. The crème brulee is the best we’ve found. I had the peppermint soufflé which was outstanding as well. Zero complaints about the food. However, for $155 a person, bread should have been included. It felt stingy to charge another $8 for that. The portions were meager as well, but you were left wanting more, that’s for sure.

We were so excited to visit Hell's Kitchen, and it did not disappoint! The location is spectacular and the restaurant was pristine. Our view was the incredible fountains of Caesars Palace. Such a fun, exciting dining experience. John was our server and he went above and beyond! I have a very dangerous allergy to milk protein and he asked us right away if we had any food allergies he should know about. He let me know that there was dairy in 2 of the items we were ordering. (they were for my teen) I thought that was so special. Food allergies are so embarrassing, I really appreciated the care John took! His server assistant was professional, and friendly. The restaurant was packed and you would never have known that by the way our table was taken care of. Well done. We're Vegas locals, so we're fortunate to have a lot of great dining choices. This was one of the best meals we've ever had. Highly recommend Hell's Kitchen. You made our Christmas Eve very special and memorable. Thank you.

Nachos were excellent for an app. We had burgers and beef Wellington. All orders came out correctly and were delicious. Waiter and wait staff were very attentive and friendly. Overall a very good experience.
