The Palazzo - Cut

Wolfgang Puck's "Cut" at the Palazzo. It's a very popular place, we had a reservation, but still ended up waiting over 30 minutes. The waiting part always sucks, but we got a booth, great service and the food was delicious. So we were pretty happy with this place.

We both loved our appetizer: "crab and shrimp Louis". I ordered the kurobuta pork chop. It was huge, probably like 2 pounds, we shared, of course. It was sooooo soft. I basically don't like pork, EXCEPT bacon and kurobuta. I know, it sounds strange. Since this is Wolfgang's restaurant, I figured I could probably get really good kurobuta pork, and it was good. Very flavorful, and I can just keep going eating, never get sick of that taste.

My husband ordered the turbot, because he never had it before, and Gordon Ramsay always uses this fish to make his fish dishes. He loved it, but I wasn't crazy about it. Maybe just because I don't like to eat cooked white fish and, to me, it was kinda no taste.

Even though we were so full, I had to get dessert. So far, I've always had really good desserts at Wolfgang Pack's restaurants. We ordered the banana cream pie. I loved it.

Jade: Noodles Dim Sum - The Palazzo

Jade Noodles Dim Sum restaurant at The Palazzo. We got a birthday offer from Palazzo that included dinner for two at Jade. When we were here, the service was very good. We liked the dim sum. I liked the soup, but the entree was average. Lobster salad had big pieces of lobster. Since this place is called "Jade Noodles and Dim Sum", you probably should get dim sum or noodles.



This is the birthday dinner menu.




















tea














Assorted Dim Sum Sampler






































































Chinese Lobster Salad














Won Ton Soup




























Chicken Corn Soup














Honey-Glazed Walnut Prawns














Chef Simon's Signature Baked Sea Bass














Mango Pudding














You pour milk on top of the pudding and eat.














Silky Sweet Tofu Custard
I don't recommend this one. No taste. Weird.














Inside. Nice decor.

Carnevino - The Palazzo

Carnevino at the Palazzo. Excellent place to go. Food portions are small and it's not cheap, but they serve quality food. I like the fact that for pasta and meat, you can order either half portion or regular portion. This way, if you can't choose between 2 dishes, you can get both half portions and try both.

"Partners chef Mario Batali and winemaker Joe Bastianich have once again brought their magic to Las Vegas with the opening of their first steakhouse, Carnevino. The name combines the two elements they bring forth – high-quality American meat, and their first-ever international wine list." - from website


compliments of the chef - cheese puffs (and big bottled water $7.50)


















rosemary focaccia - crispy, fluffy inside













Fried Calamari, $23
with marinara and pickled peppers
It was not greasy, not too much coating, spicy, tasty tomato sauce and soft. Small portion, and probably the most expensive calamari I ever had, but one of the best calamari I ever had. It's awesome. You gotta try this.













potato gnocchi bolognese, $16 (half size)
No cheap meat smell/taste, not too thick or pasty, no starchy potato taste at all.
As you can see in the picture, it's a pretty small portion. You can also order regular size for $28.


























grilled quail, $32
flageolet, fennel, radicchio
medium rare, over flageolets with fennel and orange zest


























daily special side: mushrooms, $9













orecchiette, $17 (half size)
sweet sausage and broccoli rabe
salty (probably from the sausage) but not heavy, and not a cream sauce



























citrus marscarpone cheesecake with poached apples, $15
flattish, light cake with spiced apples
We both didn't like this one so much. I mean, it wasn't bad taste, it was fine, but I just expected a little more than this.













compliments of the chef - raisins, honey, nuts

Dinner: 5pm-11pm

The Palazzo - illy

Expensive. All total was $30 and, because we didn't have any comps here, we paid our own money. If I ever come back here, I only wanna get drinks, not desserts or pastries. They are like Russian Roulette. Some are good, some are not.


$5.95
I think it's sponge cake inside, I don't remember the flavor so much. But I remember they tasted old, dried, and hard. Totally wasted money.










 




Fruit Tart, $5.95
It was good.





















 









2 scoops gelato, $4.95x2=$9.90




 










Affogato, $5.75
Hot espresso lungo served over 2 scoops of your choice of gelato. Sounds high-calorie. It was good, though.
