Garlic Yuzu - Las Vegas

Referred by a friend and highly recommend, every meal was meticulously composed, flavors were deliciously deep, and we left very full. The chef and host were so very pleasant, it was easily better than any meal we 've had at high end restaurants on the strip. Super appreciative we got this experience, a meal we 'll talk about for years to come.

One word to describe my dining experience: WOW Small-ish restaurant that has a nice, intimate ambiance. Service was great, as our server was on top of her game and made sure she checked on us frequently and kept our glasses full. The chef even came out a few times to check on us and we just couldn't stop telling him how impressed we were with the food. I ordered the Menu B and hubby got Menu A so we could taste the different items that came from my menu vs his. Every single dish we were served was so delicious. You can tell the ingredients were high quality and fresh. Everything was cooked to perfection and each bite was a burst of flavor. Towards the end of my 10-item meal, I was so full. My stomach was telling me no, but my mouth kept telling me yes (R Kelly remake? . This is a place to consider taking that important client or date if you're looking to impress. We will definitely be back, even if it's just to impress our taste buds again.

A quaint little restaurant with an upscale ambiance in front of the future Durango Resort. There is a single server who greets you at the door and takes care of you throughout the entire meal. The reservations need to be made and paid for in advance. Currently there are only two options with option A offering grilled octopus vs B offering a seared giant scallop. The shrimp option is also different where one is garlic shrimp and the other tempura, both giant shrimp. Option B provides a braised short rib that peels off the bone while the NY strip steak on option A comes with a very tasty sweet potato noodle. The shishito cream is on both options and I have to admit it was delicious, I would have a whole bowl of just that. The purple potato dumpling that accompanied the 6th course was outstanding, I longed for more. Every single course unique beginning with seafood and ending with meat after the limeade paper cleanser. This restaurant offers a variety of Wine BTG as well as Sake but no luck finding beer here, which honestly would not pair well with the amazing menu created by the Chef. It was wonderful to have the Chef come out between courses to check on us and receive some feedback, he's a very talented artist. Although is a small place, the booth we sat in felt private and the music level allows for conversation within your table. Kids are allowed in here but keep in mind only tasting menus are available. The coursed meal showcases small portions but the whole experience is very filling. I asked for the steak course to go to be able to taste the whole meal. The mochi butter cake was my absolute favorite out of the three options provided. The creme brulee has a yuzu syrup at the bottom that was a little too sweet for my taste but nevertheless a perfectly cooked creme custard. I came to celebrate my birthday and a free glass of wine was kindly offered to me. Very important to note, since you pay in advance, bring cash for the tip. Otherwise they are able to charge a dollar to your CC in order for you to tip for the service. I look forward to the next rotating menu, it was an exquisite meal. Thank you to the amazing kitchen staff.

The food and service was amazing! Everything taste great. The scallop risotto was my favorite. Chef came out to introduce himself and several times after to see how we were doing. Definitely will be back. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Scallop Risotto

This place deserves its five star rating and I pray influencers (no hate fr) don't blow this spot up. The tasting menus rotate seasonally but you can see what your options are on their website. You need to make your selections ahead of time when you make your reservation because the chef preps accordingly. They also are accommodating of people with nut allergies. Just give them the heads up I've actually been multiple times when they've had an A, B, or C option available. However, even though the price may vary, this isn't the kind of place where one option is inherently superior to the other. They're completely* different experiences. I put an asterisk because the first three dishes and the last two are common among all three options. Anyway, the food is great and actually very filling. Me and my friends have always left stuffed even showing up there after a morning workout and not having had anything to eat all day. Additionally the service is excellent. The servers and the chef check on you and also make recommendations on how best to enjoy each dish if it has multiple components. Also without having any alcohol to drink, I always experience a buzz of feel-good, like my whole body is happy to be there, the only thing I can liken it to is a runner's high. So yes, um, please don't take my review seriously, I don't want this place overrun but I also want them to stay in business forever
