sushi
Emily H.

Went to Blue Ribbon one last time bc we heard they were closing. We ordered deviled eggs, burgees, sushi, cheese fondue, caesar salad & steak w/a cucumber cocktail and old fashioned drinks. Everything was hot fresh and tasty. Our overall service was great we had David who was the best. It is a nice clean dark atmosphere w/upscale decor as well. We will miss the best Vegas mixologists "Ramsey" So find out where he will be working next & go het a cocktail!

Rockefeller oysters

From the moment I step through the doors of Blue Ribbon at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, I know I've come home. It's not just a restaurant ... it's my tradition. For 15 years, in spite of the so many other restaurants in Vegas, this has been my favorite stop in Vegas, no matter the trip or occasion. What keeps me coming back? The people! The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and deeply personal. From the reception to the dining room, the staff make you feel seen. In particular, the General Manager ...who I've gotten to know over the years, runs the place not just with professionalism but with heart. She treats every guest like a friend. That's rare in Las Vegas, where so many spaces feel transient and impersonal. But here, thanks to her and the team, this place becomes a gathering for us, my family, friends, extended Filipino family each time more meaningful than the last. The food & drinks experience We've celebrated birthdays, holidays, family milestones here, my son's birthday, our big Filipino-family get-togethers, countless special dinners. The menu delivers again and again: elegant plates of their award winning fried chicken ( my favorite!), their signature bone marrow that is filled with deliciousness, oysters, steaks, and seafood ( oyster Rockefeller, and steamed clams are new favorites for me, seafood tower with a group) that have earned rave reviews. One critic described the fried chicken as "elevating this Southern staple ... an impressively crispy crunch." And they have the most amazing cocktails at the bar, btw. And the desserts? Sinful! Indeed, guests praise the combination of excellent service, a lively yet comfortable vibe, and a kitchen that consistently delivers. Why this spot stands out * Consistent excellence: Many visitors say Blue Ribbon is "one of the best places in Cosmo by far... food is amazing and super consistent." * Outstanding service: For example, the general manager and hosts welcomes us personally, making the experience extra special. Her whole team from the amazing hostess all the way to the servers, you feel so welcomed which is rare in a transient city like Vegas. This is what we enjoy every time we dine here. * The setting: Located on the 3rd floor of the Cosmopolitan, tucked away yet set amidst the buzz of Las Vegas, so it offers a mix of energy + intimacy. A few personal memories * The moment we walked in and the whole team greeted us like we belonged. I should mention Mary, the hostess is so amazing and very welcoming and greets you right away with your name. Joey, who has always been wonderful to us and very knowledgeable at parties with his recommendations, and everyone else in this restaurant! * Celebrating with my large Filipino-family (birthdays, thank-you dinners, girlfriends night out, milestone celebrations) and always knowing this place would deliver both warmth and wow. * The feeling that this is our restaurant in Vegas. Every time we visit, it's not just dinner... it's a memory in the making. Overall impression If you're looking for a Las Vegas restaurant that does more than just serve plates, but creates a place you return to year after year - this is it. Blue Ribbon doesn't just host meals, it hosts connections. High-quality fare, attentive service, a manager who remembers your name and treats you like an old friend ... and, most importantly for me, a space where my family can show up, feel known, and celebrate life together. I'll always come back here. For the food. For the people. For the feelings. (This review is based on many visits over the years. Individual experiences may vary.)

Prime Rib
Kendall C.

Excellent service, our waiter was really funny . My prime Rib was very tender and taste great with the horseradish mix . I always order horseradish mix too dip my steak in , its a must! Potatos were very creamy . $80 Prime Rib little pricey but so is everything in Vegas .

Faith O.

Great place to go when you want steak tartare and oysters, I also wanted some stuff on their board with the seafood but I think they are in transition so they don't have that stuff, but everything we ordered was great. This place is in the cosmo and the service was pleasant! Seems like a good place for groups as they have big booth tables, you have to try the a5 wagyu!

A seafood lovers dream!!!
Sarah B.

Service- absolutely amazing our server was very much on top of everything made sure we were seated and their selection of seafood towers as a seafood lover were insanely great! Food- We decided to go with a couple entrees but the main course was indeed the tray with shrimp, clams, mussels, lobster legs, crab legs, every type of seafood you could ever want and such a beautiful presentation!!! It was a bit upscale here but I love that, and when that happens most of the time it means the food is DELICIOUS so I was so excited to try some seafood when I heard about this place and 10/10 will ABSOLUTELY come back!!! Yum!!!

Hummingbird Cocktail

Blue Ribbon is a must-visit every time I'm at The Cosmopolitan--it never disappoints! One of my go-to comfort dishes here is their French Onion Soup. Unlike the usual heavy brown broth, theirs is a clear broth version that's packed with flavor. So unique and honestly one of the best I've had. We went all in and ordered the rarest prime rib they had--and wow. Tender, flavorful, and just the right portion for one. We also tried the oysters--fresh, clean, and zero fishy smell (the way oysters should be!). For the kids, we ordered a simple butter noodle, and they served it with a side of freshly grated Parmesan--such a nice touch! But the real star of the show? The Banana Split. It's made with fresh, quality ingredients that had us scraping the bowl. No lie--this is my spot for the best banana split in Vegas! Our server Ashley was lovely--attentive and helpful, making sure we had a great experience from start to finish. The ambiance is low-lit and cozy, perfect for date night or a chill meal with family.

Building fresh seafood tower

' Reviews Blue Ribbon ... We decided to make reservations at Blue Ribbon prior to a concert at the Cosmo. What a great experience!!! Our waiter Stephen was so kind and genuine, we will definitely be back to ask for him by name! The atmosphere was classy and inviting. The menu was an eclectic mix of fresh seafood and southern comforts like fried chicken. We opted for two fresh oysters to start our dining experience that left us wanting to come back to order more! Three sauce options assured any guest would find something they prefer. Cocktail, shallot/vinegar, and a cilantro heavy pico of sorts. Beef tartare was so fresh and delicious served with fresh potato chips and accoutrements. 2 things that I ended up wanting with this was a runny yolk, and more shallots/capers to have enough for every constructed bite. Stephen suggested the oyster Rockefeller and it did not disappoint!!! Creamy, spinachy, gooey deliciousness that was enjoyed even more with the yummy sourdough that was brought to the table. I LOVE a good bone marrow. This was 3 roasted bones served with oxtail marmalade and thick cut bread perfectly toasted. I realize this is an OG recipe for the restaurant. It was delish. However, this bone marrow lovin' gal thought that the wonderfully umami and sweet gravy and too thick cut toast overwhelmed the delicate creamy marrow experience. The sangria was perfect, the mule was cucumbery and refreshing. The service was divine.

Chefs table, dining hall

I've dined at Blue Ribbon twice and both times it was a great dining experience. Customer service is immaculate Food (see pics) were delicious. Not shown is filet mignon cut to see cook on meat. I asked for medium rare and it was closer to medium but my friends came out medium rare which was a NY strip steak. The dining hall is really nice and intimate. There is a bar up front which was nice. Lots of people were having drinks at the bar. Prices were $$$ It's at the Cosmopolitan Hotel which is my fave and on the 3rd floor. Love the vibe there and I'll be dining there again.

Bread pudding
Anja L.

I'm a sucker for Old Fashioneds and this place delivered. It also delivered a fantastic plate of baked oysters. The oysters were so good, I forgot to put the hot sauce on them before wolfing them all half dozen down! I ordered a wedge salad as well (guilty for not having any veggies that day) and decided I wanted a buffalo-wing salad instead and poured the habanero-carrot sauce on the creamy blue cheese. It was an ok salad before but now it was good. Bread pudding dessert wasn't anything to call home about but my server was good and the ambiance was right. Next time, more drinks and more baked oysters and maybe the chicken wings too. The guy next to me ordered the wings and I was jealous

Braised short rib
Stacey A.

Yes, yes and yes. Located in the Cosmopolitan hotel, easy to access. I believe it's on level 2. Casual to dressy attire. Easily accommodates groups. My husband and I were on a business trip hanging out and used Yelp to find a restaurant with seafood. Service was outstanding. I wish I remembered our servers name. The manager also checked on us multiple times and even cleared plates from our table. Cozy feel. All of the tables have cozy seating almost a booth feel. Our servers told us they are known for their bucket of wings. Just get them. Don't even ask. Just get them and thank me later. I'm drooling right now. Three huge flats, three huge crispy drums, you WILL lick your fingers unapologetically. Midweek we did not need a reservation but they were pretty busy. We didn't drive so I'm not sure about parking. I enjoyed my lamb chops but I'd come back for the bucket of wings. Seriously.

grilled salmon
Nylah W.

Service is outstanding, waiters are very attentive and they really care about what will compliment your taste. We ordered various things but what stood out was the Miso baked clams, so delicious! I was so happy with my steak frites, my mom loved her summer prix menu, and my dad always orders their fried chicken. The low lighting and comfy seats make the environment so fun with your loved ones! Also really good music.

Tomahawk steak
matthew p.

Friendly fast service. Great tasting food and drinks. I had the tomahawk steak, truffle mashed potatoes, Greek salad, chicken wings and banana split. 0 complaints. Everything was excellent . I will go back

My app oysters and shrimp
Leanne C.

Tim was our server last night-Amazing!! everyone who works there is so on top of everything. They move like a well oiled machine. Maddy & I did the prix fixe menu which is a great option to try multiple things. I liked everything we ordered and will go back. See my pics

No you'll be fine. Some tables are more romantic than others so make sure your reservation is noted that you'd like a romantic table perhaps a booth in the back. It's Vegas so anything goes. I have eaten there over a dozen times and sometimes I've… Read more

This was our second visit at this restaurant. First time was a while ago. Why is so hard to find a…read moreplace to eat these day even though every corner you turn there's someplace. We were walking along the Linq strip checking things out. I've been here before which was ok. They had us seated upstairs where it was so quiet. Maybe a couple of people there while the bottom floor was pretty lively. So after walking around for a while and still can't decided, we ended up here again. Menu did look the same as our last visit. It was pretty busy so when we checked in with the hostess, we were hoping that they wouldn't seat us upstairs again. Well this visit, we were seated towards the back where their bar area was. Right by the entrance from the casino. It was fine as we were able to people watch and check out the casino. Quinton was our waiter who was quite nice and friendly. Welcomed us right when we got seated and made sure that we were well taken care of. Good customer service. Started off with some drinks. I wanted a certain glass of wine which was informed that they were out but replacing it with another for the night. Asked for a sample before making my decision. Wasn't to my liking which I went with something else. Food wise, I did like the chicken Parmesan from the last visit that it was nice to have again. Chicken was pretty big and juicy and on top a bed of spaghetti. It was good. It was a la cart so nothing else was served with it. I also got a side of fries which I loved as it was the crosscut version and seasoned. Also the cheese ravioli with shrimp. Portion wise was a little small but it was good. Food was good. Service was nice. This experience was better compared to the first with upstairs dining. It was better having a meal where there's a lively crowd when in Vegas. Quinton was great and very sweet.

This was my second visit in the last few months. The first was for lunch and everyone ordered a…read moreburger and fries. Can't really mess that up too much. The other day, we were looking for a place to eat pre-concert. At this point we were desperate and needed a spot and quick. Enter...Off the Strip @ The Linq. We had made a reservation (to be safe), but didn't need to. It was pretty empty. Everyone ordered some sort of pasta dish and we all disliked our meals. The red sauce had an off taste. Couldn't put my finger on it, but I'm glad I wasn't alone. Someone else noticed it as well. Just stay away from anything with red sauce would be my take. Bad night or maybe that's the flavor they were going for. Either way, it didn't work. Service was fine. Nothing special or spectacular. Our waiter was standing talking next to our table talking to another waiter for most of the time, except when we needed him...then he was MIA. Pretty pricey too for what you got. I guess, okay for burgers and a drink but anything else...pass.
