Restaurant Guy Savoy — Restaurant in Paradise

Unfortunately, our experience left much room for improvement. From the inconsistent service, to the odd theming of food, Restaurant Guy Savoy is a hard recommend considering the other options you have in Las Vegas.

Our issues with service started as soon as we sat down. I had a coat but no one asked if they could take it (no idea if there is a coat check here). Placed it on the back of my chair and it had fallen on the floor several times throughout dinner. No staff even bothered mentioning it. Also had a bag with me and wasn't offered anywhere to put it. Ended up just putting it on the floor. We had an early seating so the restaurant was quiet at the time of arrival and the servers checked with us often. This changed as dinner went on and the dinning room filled up. It became rather noisy and the servers seemed to have their hands full. It didn't seem as if the servers were slacking, it was more like they were overwhelmed. I'd assume there wasn't enough of them for the amount of guests/tables. We were sat in one of the rooms facing another couple. It was very uncomfortable making constant eye contact with the people across the room from us just because we are facing straight at them (there really is nothing else to look at). There are windows but there is nothing to see out of them. Just one of those giant LED ad displays from another hotel in a constant loop. The dining area looks a bit dated and the lighting is bad. The area is lit by just the ceiling lights which are dim and produce a very harsh light from being so far away. The lighting does not flatter anyone, nor the food.

The food for the most part was cooked and presented well. We ordered the "Forbes 5 Star Celebration Menu". Each dish was balanced in flavors and seasoning but the theming and cohesiveness seemed....unusual. The meal started with the Amuse Bouche which included a tiny Japanese A5 Wagyu sandwich. While this does preview the main course (yes, it tastes amazing), it's such a stark contrast to the rest of the menu. Next was octopus and caviar. Milder in taste but looked great. It had a gentle ocean and smokey flavor. Up next was the Daurade with mushrooms and mussels. The mushrooms provide an earthy savoriness to the flaky Daurade. Unfortunately the mussels were a bit chewy. Next is the Black Truffle Soup, it was mildly truffly. It came with a black truffle brioche that looked like it would be very truffly but was mild, just like the soup. We ordered the supplemental Black Truffle Risotto. It was extra truffly. That tang from the freshly grated black truffle that causes the mouth to salivate, there's just nothing like it. The risotto was a tad bit under al dente, it was chalky. The main course was next. First was the lobster, while cooked perfectly, there was some tough chewy bits. I suspect the quality of this lobster may not be of the fresh variety. There was a carrot/squash tart which was cooked to just shy of falling apart tenderness. It almost melts in your mouth. Lastly the Japanese A5 Wagyu, it's a show stealer. So much umami and flavor in this 1oz bite sized piece of steak, it practically made me forget about everything we just ate. The Tête de Moine and Confiture afterwards, while beautiful looking, tasted like funky cheese with potato chips and jam. Like an entire bougie charcuterie board reconstructed into 3 bite sized pieces. Dessert was a crème fraîche ice cream on top of a chocolate mousse and cake with orange accents and sauce. It was subtly sweet and balanced. The candy cart came after and I ended up getting everything to try. Only the double chocolate cookies and Madelines can be recommended, everything else was bland and an easy pass. Meal ended with a citrus palate cleanser, tasted like a lighting strike in the mouth. Very refreshing.

The overall experience was a mixed bag. With there being some highs and some lows, it's very disappointing to accept the lack of consistency considering the high price tag for the tasting menu. So unfortunately, I am not inclined to recommend...

Restaurant Guy Savory is a hidden gem. As Vegas locals, we don’t go to the strip unless it’s worth the effort and this restaurant is absolutely worth it! From the moment you walk in, Dana makes you feel welcomed like you are around old friends. The décor and ambience are beautiful and polished as expected and there is nothing pretentious about it. The dishes are complex and well-thought out. The flavors are intense yet familiar and comforting. Each dish is a masterpiece. The bread selection and dessert cart are fun and delicious. Even better than the mind-blowing food are the incredible staff. John-Paul, our Captain of the evening guides us on a voyage of culinary delight. Alain keeps the ship on course and Curtis attends to us with a level of detail that is second to none. Everyone is so friendly and gracious. They consistently provide top-notch service and they anticipate our every need. For us, the food is important but equal so are the staff that put restaurants over the top. Restaurant Guy Savor has the crème de la crème working for them!

I hate to say it about this place but I'm going to tell you the honest truth most people who are leaving reviews are people who are continued customers they have been going to the restaurant and keeping it in service by going and being loyal customers. The food there is not season very well it has no heart! just because ingredients come from far and wide doesn't mean that people know how to bring the best out of them and it is very reflective in this place. The first thing I thought was does anybody know what salt is? Has anybody tried the food before they sent it out? Me being somebody who worked in the back I personally know that the meals that they feed each other as family meals are better than what they put out for the customers. This place is way too expensive for what they are offering and I think you can spend your money more wisely at plenty of other places on the strip let alone in Vegas! If I were you I wouldn't waste my time it's a great experience but you can have a great experience anywhere and also have great food instead of just having a great dining experience and mediocre food. decorating things really pretty doesn't make it taste good that's just the honest to God truth this is for people who like to eat with their eyes and feel as though they want to be in an important environment and like they are somebody who spends their money a certain type of way this is not for people who are true food connoisseurs. Going to Gordon Ramsay's would be more Michelin than going here! There's a reason why Gordon Ramsay has over 3,000 reviews in this place only has 172 and if they're charging just under $700 for two people to eat there that explains how they're able to pay the bills if you have $172 people paying $700 a pop. It's basic math and plus I understand that that food shouldn't really be that expensive honestly it probably only takes them a couple of dollars to make the meals that they're putting out and charging you for it! Be careful what you decide is a fine dining experience and don't let someone else's opinion of what stars should be create the stars that align you with true taste and true experiences and truly experiencing food for what it is it should be a connection between people not a way for somebody else to come up off of you not knowing how to cook and that's basically what this place is it's just somebody who's exploiting you because you don't know how to do meticulous work with food! You're better off just watching Gordon Ramsay on YouTube and making the food at home trust me it'll taste way better and you'll get a lot more out of it and you'll save a...
