I am so impressed! Every dish was fantastic and full of surprises! Everything was so well done, from service, presentation to taste. Absolutely enjoyed my dinner here. Glad we came in a group of 4 so we can all try each other's dishes. I usually highlight my favorite dishes but I can't decide, literally everything was amazing!! Cannot got wrong with any selection. A must go! read more

I wanted to have a nice dinner and thought I booked Joe's Crab Shack but I must have clicked Joël Robuchon by accident. And based on the first three letters of the restaurant's name, it had to be outstanding, right? First, this WAS a 3 Michelin Star restaurant in 2008-2009, but Michelin no longer rates restaurants in Las Vegas (they should). With that being said it's a AAA 5-Diamond which I guess also means good. I don't know what Firestone or Car and Driver thinks of this place, although the latter would probably not love it since it's not a BMW. All joking aside, if you consider yourself a foodie, then the 12 Course Menu Degustation is a multi-course bucket list item that's somewhat attainable. I've read horror stories of booking other high-end eateries, but take a shot here and you may get lucky. They happened to have a ton of reservations the week before Christmas, so we were lucky. I will say if you're doing a wine pairing, you may not want to get a cocktail beforehand when you're waiting for your table in the lounge. I had a Gin and Tonic and it was huge and blew away the Ultimate G&T by Jose Andres. But the wine pairing with the meal is a LOT of wine and you'll be tipsy unless you're a descendent of Oscar Wilde. Once the experience begins, you'll be amazed at everything that's happening. Service is impeccable with multiple staff members tending to your every need. I'll say even if you think you may not like something, try it and you might surprise yourself. I never truly liked any caviar before eating it here. With that being said, beets are still beets no matter how you slice them. :) It's expensive, but totally worth it in my opinion. I think they have other dining options besides the extravaganza deluxe, but I didn't really pay attention. It was also a phones away event (my idea) for full enjoyment, although a few dishes were so beautiful I was tempted to reach into my pants... for my phone... to clarify. There is a dress code so be sure to comply. For guys, I would recommend a jacket or a tie with dress pants/shoes. For ladies, I'd recommend micro-skirts and crop tops, but I don't think they do... so a nice dress or blouse with appropriate pants/shoes would probably suffice. I was totally blown away and it was definitely the best tasting menu I've experienced... and I've been to Carrabbas's Wine Dinner! read more

Beautiful setting right next to the Ka Theater, albeit felt out of place in the MGM Grand. We did the express menu since we knew we would be pretty stuffed from the overall trip. It was plenty of food, especially if you factor in the bread cart and petit four cart. Service was thoughtful, but unfortunately at one point through the service, our orders kept getting mixed up (as well as them thinking it was my birthday instead of my husband's even though he already had the personalized card.) Considering the price point and reputation, this felt like a bad oversight or miscommunication. I added the caviar imperial supplement but was disappointed by the presentation - it looked lazy compared to the previous iterations. It was fine, very rich with the egg yolk and crème fraiche. I wouldn't order again for the extra $100. The food was fine, but I wasn't blown away by preparation, seasonality, or creativity. The citron dessert was probably the most creative in flavor (but very strong floral due to the jasmine). We were also given two slices of ice cream cake for my husband's birthday, which was a nice touch. It was refreshing with the coconut and berry sorbet. On our visit, it looked like about half the men were wearing jackets while everyone else had collared shirts. My husband was debating packing his jacket since this would be the only meal, but he would've been fine without it. read more

A dining experience like no other!!! My friend and I came for our holiday dinner date tradition and Joel Robuchon completely amazed us with an exquisite dining experience! From the moment we stepped inside, we felt like special guests and the intimate restaurant was so elegant in every way! What stood out from the night: EVERYTHING!!!! Being the bread head that I am, of course the bread cart was what I was so thrilled about and it lived up to the hype!!! There were all sorts of breads and our first plate of bread was warmed up! Yummmm!!! Service was spectacular and each course was so intriguing to the palate and such a neat dining experience!! Not sure if any other dining experience could top this! I am still thinking about the wagyu steak and the dessert cart, filled with bite size morsels of goodness! They had passionfruit caramel that night; wish I could buy a bag of it!! Come here for a decadent meal and dining experience you won't forget!! :) read more

I got to return for another visit and it did not disappoint. For my birthday this year, I went on a little "eating trip" and went to multiple restaurants during my week in Vegas. Joel Robuchon was a phenomenal way to end the trip. The food was amazing, even though my lamb was a bit dry and tough for most of the piece. I think I know how it should have tasted because once bite of it was juicy and delicious. The service was out of this world as usual. David and Mladen made the whole experience even better! They chatted about the history of the restaurant, the food, the techniques, how the restaurant is run, and about Chef Robuchon. I was very interested in listening to all their anecdotes, and they were very gracious to answer whatever questions I had. I also had the pleasure of meeting both Chefs, and they were so welcoming and kind! I hate that I had an absolute brain freeze and couldn't ask them some questions I always wondered about in a fine dining kitchen! The restaurant is still so beautiful decorated and the colors are just so pleasing to the eye. I look forward to coming back again. read more

It's been a about a month since I ate here but I wanted to get my thoughts together before reviewing. I went here as a bit of a bucket list type meal, so went all in with 12 courses and a wine pairing. This was a lot of food and to my regret I just couldn't finish everything. I don't know much about wine, but they weren't really my taste and that's probably just a me issue. The wine people next to me were raving so.... The bread and butter service was heaven. My absolute favorite dishes were the sunchoke and scallop. I highlighted my other favorites. I think the top half of the menu was very strong for me. The dishes were light and balanced. The lower half of the menu was a bit of a miss. The sauces on the cod and venison were too overpowering. Dessert wise I could have eaten 12 of these praline poppy things. I would definitely return. I would likely do a smaller tasting menu where I could select 5-6 dishes and eat more bread and dessert. read more

The food here is remarkable. The sheer amount of work and attention to detail that goes into each dish is obvious from the flawless presentation. Every ingredient is top notch. The langoustine, frog leg, lamb, and beef were all exceptional, and even as someone who does not usually care for foie gras, I thought the version here was great. The sommelier was highly engaging and personable, introducing us to some great wines we would not have ordered otherwise. The issue is that at this price point, you expect absolute perfection across the board. The restaurant did not enforce its own dress code, which made the atmosphere feel somewhat cheapened when you have paid a premium to be there and get your jacket in your luggage. The bread service also missed the mark in my opinion. On the initial cart pass (which in itself is impressive), they offer to warm your selections right away, which is excellent. However, on the next round from the tray, they just hand over room-temperature bread. While they will gladly warm it if you ask (as we did the final time), at this tier of dining and price point, you should not have to manage that detail. You are paying heavily for ingredients and complexity, and while it is a highly memorable meal, the total experience fell short of the massive investment, even by Las Vegas standards. read more

There are so many other places on the Vegas strip that won't rip you off. I'm all for splurging on a delicious meal but this was far from that. For their 20th anniversary, Jöel Robuchon served a 16 course meal. However, if it's your birthday they don't give a f^*k. There is no candle or cake. Nothing. It was welcome to our restaurant to celebrate for our 20th birthday. I went to this restaurant as a celebration. I left feeling stuffed but not satisfied. The food was mediocre at best. I love flavors and food. For this restaurant, the service was just as bad as the menu. The tomato dish tasted like it had been prepared the night before. It was not fresh. The servers recognized things were not going great and kept saying, "more bread?" The attire was business formal and as I walked in wearing my best birthday attire, I watched two tourists walk in with sneakers. What a shame! Why didn't they enforce their rules?! If I was dressed up, why weren't others? Why create rules if you don't enforce them? Why send a text message multiple times about the dress code and not enforce daytime attire when guests wear it? Two text messages before a meal as a reminder is excessive. Especially if the employees don't enforce it. This restaurant may have received Michelin Stars in 2009 but it's not rated anymore. Unfortunately, this restaurant is not what it must have been years ago when the original chef was at the helm. read more

To dine at Joel Robuchon's eponymous restaurant, at the MGM Grand, has been on my bucket list for a very long time. During this Las Vegas visit, all the ducks lined up. I was able to secure a reservation at very short notice. My good Karma finally came through. Walking in, you are immediately immersed in an ultra fine dining environment with stunning and opulent decor. There was soft recorded piano music, optimally pitched, to accompany my rich and diverse Degustation menu ($525, before taxes, drinks and tips). This one meal, costing more than my 5-night stay, at the MGM Grand. The moment had finally arrived. It was time to treat myself for the holidays. The evening started with the bread cart (at least 14 different types of fresh bread made twice a day). I had the bacon, a cheese offering, one with saffron and a separate basil roll (I am always looking for something different) The accompanying olive oil was from Spain and the butter from Brittany, both delivered in style. There were 14 different courses, that arrived perfectly orchestrated, with artistic presentations. See my menu picture for the descriptions. It started out with the Joel Robuchon signature dish that has never changed, and is a fixture for the degustation, since the restaurant opened in 2005, the Le Caviar Imperial. It is an eye catching stunner. The rest followed: La Betterave, La Homard du Maine, La Pomme de Terre, La Saint Jaques, Le Topinambour, Le Foie Gras, Le Daikon, Le Black Cod, La Semoule de Ble Dur, Le Chevreuil d Ecosse, Le Pamplemousse, La Poire and finally the Cahiot de Mignandises. The latter, the finale was a desert cart of 40 different varieties, prepared by a Pastry team of 5 persons. I had the mango eclair, a tart with a single strawberry, the vertical coffee eclair, a chocolate pastry and another chocolate concoction. They were small bites, well designed and attractive, because by then you had to be full. And I was. The whole experience lasted a little over 3 hours, was well paced and delivered in high French hospitality. Worthy to note that the lobster was from Maine, the Venison from Scotland, the Lamb from Spain and the Cod from Alaska. While every dish topped the other with balance, a myriad of texture, flavors and a symphony of tastes, the meat dishes were exceptional. Vegetables are also freshly sourced, several from California. My evening ended by an escorted tour of the back Kitchen, to meet the Charismatic young Executive Chef, Elaeazar Villanueva, a 2025 James Beard finalist. In front of his kitchen (where everyone was hard at work), he was gracious to take time to eloquently explain the dedication and perfection his team of 20 plus indulge in to produce the master pieces that appear, with precision, in the dining room. Before leaving the restaurant, I was handed a gift of a pound cake, beautifully packaged, to take home. In that elegant bag, there was also a copy of the degustation station menu for that night, with my name at the top. What a lovely touch. In summary, I can say that If you look back at the memory searing and gastronomic tasting menus in your life, there will be just a handful. And there is optics. How do you distribute color, in fantastic food. For me, the experience at Joel Robuchon, was unforgettable and can easily be one of the pinnacles of my unique dining experiences. At all levels, in food selection, culinary prowess, gastronomic skill and tenacity, vivid presentations and expertise, coupled with cooking techniques, Joel Robuchon stands alone. It was truly mesmerizing, like going to the Opera. An evening of excellence to remember, for many years to come. read more

Tucked inside the loud casino of the MGM, once you enter the doors you're transported to a private, luxurious dining suite. You forget you're in a casino when you're surrounded by the smell of fresh flowers and hear beautiful music setting the scene for an elegant, well executed tasting menu. We were celebrating an anniversary and it happened to coincide with the restaurant's 20th anniversary. We enjoyed all 16 courses and left utterly stuffed. Try as you might, don't overdo the bread course although they are all so delicious it's hard not to! Be prepared to be delighted The servers are all so happy to help and even offer to take your picture at the end of the meal with a view of the beautiful chandelier. It's a pricey celebratory dinner. read more

Joel Robuchon was an amazing vegetarian experience for this birthday girl! We had a wonderful 13 course dinner and they pulled out all the stops with a special birthday dessert course to top it off. The highlight for me was the bread mobile. I was in heaven. Unlimited access to freshly baked breads, heated to the perfect temperature to be enjoyed with the best salted French butter or olive oil? Omg amazing. I could have eaten 13 courses just of bread. It was so special to get a behind the scenes tour before the meal was over and leave with a beautiful bakery item. The service was so professional yet warm and accommodating. The drink menu wasn't doing anything for me but the bar tender made me a creation of his own that was just perfect. It's definitely a splurge but I would recommend it to anyone with something to celebrate. Lean into the dress code and live it up. You'll have the best experience and an insanely delicious meal. read more

Walking through MGM on fighter night, arriving at this Michelin Rated restaurant you are transported to an atmosphere of luxury and decadence away from the commotion of a busy hotel/casino We were seated in an intimate corner and had impecable service and food/wine. You WILL pay but it will be well worth it. The 10 or so course tasting menu was one of the best meals we have ever had. The wine pairings were perfect. The dishes were full of complex flavors and innovative combinations. A true dining experience! Not every day dining but rather an elegant night to remember read more

My colleague and I decided to treat ourselves to an experience at Joël Robuchon while we were out in Vegas. I will admit that I'm not that familiar with fine dining, and the count of Michelin-starred restaurants I've been to is very low. Nevertheless, I wanted this experience - so we decided to book it and make our way over for some dinner. Joël Robuchon's namesake restaurant is located in the MGM Grand, just off the main casino floor. There are actually two of his restaurants right next to each other - the aforementioned one which is fine dining and L'Atelier which, while still upscale, is not as fancy. I received a text when my table was ready (right at my reservation time) and we were led to the main dining room. The restaurant is not large - there is one mid-sized dining room and an adjacent garden room which I think might have some outdoor/fresh air source? Don't quote me on that. The decor is a little over the top but tastefully done - dark purple banquettes paired with greens and greys - there's a chandelier in the center of the room and plants throughout the space. The full prix fixe menu is a twelve-course dinner; they offer a truncated version, but we decided to go all in and do the full monty. They also offered three levels of wine pairings in addition to being able to order wine a la carte. We decided to go for the mid-level offering which consisted of eight pairings. Each course was tasty and creative; as expected in a Michelin-starred restaurant, there was a lot of innovation with each dish. The wine pairings were great, and the staff was periodically strolling the dining room offering different breads from their cart. They had a large variety and I got to sample several - I love bread! For dessert they brought out another cart and we were able to choose from a variety of confections including bon bons, macarons, pastries, eclairs, and other sweets. Service was excellent - honestly some of the best (if not *the* best) service I've ever had in a restaurant. Overall, Joël Robuchon is really something special. When comparing what I got with what I paid, I think this was a little overpriced - if the bill was slightly less this would have been a 5-star experience. Regardless, though, I'm glad I experienced this and will remember it for a while. read more

What can be said about Joel Robuchon other than it is absolute perfection. The food, service and atmosphere are all the best you can get. We had the 10 course menu and while skeptical, my favorite course was the Rhubarb Celebrated Four Ways I have reviewed Joel Robuchon before and mentioned that the hostess was rude. That seems to not be the case now. If you get a chance to go to Joel Robuchon or LeCirque, you should as it is a dining experience read more

Joel Robuchon not only exceeded my expectations, but has also taken the reins on being my all-time favorite 3 Michelin star restaurant that I've dined at thus far, replacing French Laundry on the list. Everything from their diligent and pleasant service, to their perfected timing and pace of the courses, to the luxurious and succulent foods, were simply perfection. We arrived 15 minutes earlier than our reservation time but still got seated and attended to right away. The ambiance is intimate yet sophisticated, with a grand chandelier in the room as well as a cozy fireplace. Our server, Kit, was probably the best server we've ever experienced at a fine dining restaurant. Usually you'd think to expect this level of service at any Michelin star restaurant, but none have ever delivered to this caliber. Shoutout to him, the sommelier, and the rest of the staff that night! Now I'll be honest, when I first saw the menu, I immediately noticed that asparagus seemed to be the in-season ingredient, which I wasn't super excited about since I don't really like asparagus. But when I tell you that I was an absolute fan of every single dish and that they somehow made asparagus taste divine... even I am still in absolute awe of it. Additionally, I thought that the Westholme Australian Wagyu ribeye was going to my favorite entree of the night, but surprisingly, the black cod ended up being the standout as it was prepared with a Malabar pepper sauce that we had never tasted before, but was mouthwateringly delicious and unique. The bread cart was also one of the many highlights of the night, where you can choose any of the breads displayed on their cart, which then get warmed up to you. Usually I'm not really a bread person, but at Joel Robuchon, I was definitely a bread person! In fact, we went for a second round -- they even offered us a third round! Similarly, their dessert cart works the same way and each and every single one of the items were delectable. To end the night, they gave us a pretty generous loaf of lemon pound cake to take home. Joel Robuchon, you have my heart! read more

I've been to three Michelin 3 star restaurants so far - French Laundry, Benu, and Joel Robuchon. This one is my favorite by far. To earn 3 Michelin stars, the food needs to be creative, but creative foods run the risk of not tasting very good. However, Joel Robuchon mastered the presentation and flavor. I had the full degustation menu which took three hours long. Top quality service and ambiance. I would come back again once their menu changes. read more

Really spectacular meal that I enjoyed as much or even more than my other fav French restaurant experience in Paris, Epicure. The food was inventive, refined, and complex without losing focus of the dish's composition. I was surprised that white truffles (which were in season) were incorporated into 4 or 5 dishes. The chef's usage was spectacular and also showed a unique perspective without ever becoming monotonous. The signature caviar/crab/jelly and potato dishes deserve their noteworthiness. The steak dish was surprisingly unique and enjoyable with the 5-6 different actrumonts on the dish to dip each bite into. The palate cleanser after the main course and apple desert were just exceptional. Additionally having such a wide array of options: bread cart, cheese cart and desert cart put the meal over the top. The service was very good, and refined. The wine Sommelier was exceptional. Absolutely memorable experience. Hope to go back one day. read more

Food: 5/5 stars Service: 5/5 stars Value: 3/5 stars The food is undeniably excellent and is prepared with a sophistication you would expect from a three-star Michelin restaurant. I tried the 12-course tasting menu which lets you sample the whole range of dishes offered at the restaurant. It is well spaced out and apportioned so you can make it through the whole thing. Highlights were: - Corn cream with foie gras - Artichoke puree - Cod with black pepper sauce - Australian wagyu - Apricot four ways dessert Overrated dishes: - Roasted duck - while tender, it leaves a lot to be desired if you are used to eating duck in Chinese/Cantonese cuisines. The highlight of this dish was actually the sour cherries on the side. - Mashed potatoes - these have received critical acclaim as being the "best mashed potatoes in the world," so perhaps I had too high expectations, but they're still just mashed potatoes. Despite the above, I would still rate the food as a 5/5 experience. Where I am subtracting some stars is their recent changes to the menu pricing. There used to be express menu options starting at $150 for one course (including the unlimited bread and dessert trays which are well worth it) and up to $275 for two appetizers + two main courses (which was a great way to sample the menu without doing the entire tasting menu). But now the base option with one course is at $225 and the highest option is a one course + 2 appetizer option for $335. Sure, we've had some inflation in the last couple of years but not that much! Their pricing seems deliberately chosen to push people away from the express options and towards the full tasting menu, which is now priced at $525 per person. That makes it significantly more expensive than even French Laundry or Per Se! Has anything changed in the last couple of years to the food quality to justify such a premium over every other restaurant in the US? Not in my opinion. read more

I visited Joel Robuchon on a Saturday evening with a group of friends and the dinner took a few hours. There weren't many tables inside the restaurant, but they were far enough where you could feel privacy between each group. They were about eight dishes for the meal which was about $450 per person. There was a wine pairing option which a few of my friends partaked. There's a full bar so if wine is not your thing, you can have a nice cocktail made for you. When you come here, it's definitely an experience. Our server and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant felt calming and not too loud. My favorite dishes included the caviar imperial. It had such a nice balance, and I love the touch of crustacean. The black cod was beautifully cooked - although my friends didn't like that it was too salty for them. I personally enjoyed the truffled langoustine ravioli. Honestly, anything truffle I would be all over. My friend didn't finish hers, so of course I offered to take it off her hands so it wouldn't go to waste. It was a fun experience, tasting a variety of dishes and hearing the story behind what inspired Joel Robuchon's dishes. We finished with the dessert cart which was gorgeous. Thank goodness for unlimited so got to try a little bit of everything. I really liked the pistachio flavored macaron, raspberry cake, and truffles. My friends said they were all extremely full at the end. Of course I eat way too much so I said I could eat more so it was fitting we were given gift bags which contained banana bread. They recommend refrigerating it immediately, but if you're staying for the weekend, it should last OK for you to enjoy when you're back home . Overall, a really cool experience just being able to share that with friends. The dishes were a bit salty and would have expected it to be more mind blowing for the price. The service and attention to detail really makes it a valuable dining visit. read more

Jöel Robuchon is located inside MGM grand that's next to the KA cirque du soleil show and the other Jöel robuchon restaurant, l'atelier. We had a reservation for 2 for their New Year's Eve tasting menu that had 12 amazing dish offerings. Upon entry, the service immediately is what we noticed that defines 3 Michelin star dining. Very attentive and on point on everything. They'll take your coat, change utensils for every meal change, pour your drinks for you, push in your chair, lay the cotton napkin on your lap for you, etc. The inside was very nice as well. Low music is being played with a very fancy decor. Even the bathrooms were amazing. As for the food; we started off with savory dishes that contained a lot of caviar, seafood, truffles, etc. every dish had an eccentric taste with either a rich buttery feel to it or a fresh taste to it. Around the 9th to 10th dish, we moved to the sweets starting with a meringue that acted as a palette cleanser. Very interesting! All in all, Jöel robuchon was an awesome experience. I'm glad I was able to make reservations for my girlfriend and I to experience. Although it's a bit pricy (about $900 per person), it's definitely something worth trying once. read more

Joel Robuchon at MGM Grand in Las Vegas is the restaurant most folks recommend as the best in Vegas. The French chef Robuchon though passed away had the distinction of being awarded the most Michelin stars of any chef. Service was definitely Michelin worthy. You can order cheaper options from their express menu with fewer courses but we decided to try their tasting menu (which was pricey as it was over $500pp). The bread service was amazing as there were so many types of bread you can pick. I picked three types and the waitress stopped there but you can order more anytime during your meal. In addition to two desserts, they roll out a dessert cart with so many sweets. In addition, we were provided a pound cake packed to go. Overall worth trying as this was a 3 Michelin star restaurant before Vegas stopped doing Michelin ratings read more

We have tried some French restaurants but never a big fan. So far, Joel Robuchon is my favorite. A kind reminder if you make the reservation through MGM app or website, there are only two options listed: Tasting menu $525 which we got and the other option is Express menu (you can decide which one to get on site: $235/$295/$335) and they also have vegan menu you can request on site. Wine pairing option and drink menu are available as well. If you stated the special occasion while booking the reservation, they also offer complimentary cake for the birthday or anniversary. And every table (not every guest) gets a loaf of pound cake to take home. I liked most of the dishes, but the lobster, the scallop, and the cold creamy foie gras are my favorites. The famous French duck always scares us when it's too raw, so our server was nice and told the chef to cook it to medium as we saw other table's duck is pretty raw. The bread cart and the dessert cart are fun to your eyes, and you can select what you like to try and ask for more later if needed. It's a very intimate (not spacious) but classic interior design. There are 3 different areas of the restaurant: The waiting area with open bar, only open to the restaurant guests, the main dining room, and the artificial garden outdoor seating area. The service is actually pretty lean back and friendly, comparing to the solemn servers in Eiffel Tower. We enjoyed the time here. Will return. read more

Joel Robuchon - It's the littlest things that make a day worth it. Details details. Well done! - French Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We've always wanted to try this restaurant, and a birthday seemed like a great opportunity to do so! Make your reservation (easy to do on their website) well in advance, as they fill up quickly! We arrived early and were seated in their luxurious lounge area and enjoyed two cocktails while the table was prepared. The Cosmo de Paris cocktail was delicious. Ice cold - perfectly balanced - and just amazing. This set the theme for the remainder of the evening. We were seated in a small side room which made you feel like you were in a small garden. There was no one at the adjacent table, but if someone was seated there I could see it being a bit crowded and not too private. There are two menu options. You can chose a 10 course tasting menu; however, you get no choices with this option (each course has only one choice). There are other options with differing numbers of courses, and with these options you have many items to chose from for each course. We each chose a six course option (amuse bouche, two appetizers, one entree, one dessert, and miniature sweet cart). Some options do have an additional supplemental cost - mostly options containing caviar. The amuse bouche was an amazing cold cauliflower soup with crunchy broccoli and crispy rice paper. Then came the bread cart. WOW! There were literally about 15 different types of bread which they bake fresh daily. Your choices will be warmed and presented to you along with shaved butter and olive oil which is presented beautifully from a separate cart. More bread is available throughout your meal, and subsequent bread is served from a small tray rather than wheeling the cart over again. I chose the beetroot salad and the lobster as appetizers. Both were amazing. The beetroot salad was so refreshing, and I wasn't sure how I would like the accompanying mustard sorbet. It was amazing as well! If they can make mustard sorbet delicious, they are true experts. The lobster was served as thin slices of lobster between thin slices of Japanese radish topped with black truffle. I have never liked truffle, but these lacked the pungent earthy taste I have had before. They were so mild! Overall another amazing dish! For an entree I had the sea bass. It's a small portion, but it had such an amazing taste! Perfectly prepared, and the lemon grass foam was truly stunning. Entrees are served with their signature mashed potato which has to be one of the best mashed potato I've ever had. Perfectly creamy and delicious. Save room for dessert!! I had the chocolate souffle ($10 additional) which blew me away. It was like a moist, rich chocolate meringue inside with a perfectly slightly crunchy, chewy shell. Then, after dessert, enjoy the cart of "sweets" featuring petit fours miniature dessert options. There must have been at least 20 different options to choose from including macarons and so, so much more. Service was very attentive if not the warmest, and the entire meal lasted about two hours. This was probably among the best meals I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying, and you leave feeling quite satisfied despite the smaller portions. I recommend reviewing their current menu ahead of time, as if you are a picky eater it is possible that you might struggle to find something you will like given their unique and often esoteric dishes. I cannot recommend Joel Robuchon enough! read more

Our party of 4 dined here on 12/20/2025. IMHO, still worthy of the 3 Michelin stars, and we'd like to see this bear out, now that Michelin is back in the southwest, and including Vegas after a long absence. We have dined all over the world at "foody" destinations over the past 30 years, from Michelin star hawker stalls in Singapore, all the way to fine dining (including many Michelin-starred) in the US, Asia and Europe. This was definitely a stand-out. Our party of four was seated in one of the corner banquettes. From arrival to dessert and coffee, service was impeccable. Every course of the degustation menu arrived gracefully, beautifully plated and at perfect temperature. We noticed, as did other reviewers that this winter seasonal menu was "truffle heavy" (but no complaints, we love black truffles!). Upon being seated, 2 people in our party did not bring reading glasses and mentioned it while viewing the menu. The server brought over a wooden box with several pairs of reading glasses in a variety of prescriptions. Also, one in our party forgot to mention she could not eat scallops, and when she was asked how that course was, she just said, oh, I just gave it to another, because I forgot to mention that to you. It's ok, I'm fine. Immediately, the server told the chef, and she offered a substitute dish. Most in our party abstain from alcohol for health reasons, so we did not do the wine pairing, however they brought some beautiful "mocktails" for the table, which all enjoyed. We jokingly asked one of our servers how many kitchen staff members were back there with tweezers plating so beautifully for the small dining room, and he said "twenty". We agree that the bread cart and mini-desserts were a highlight, and even something as deceivingly "simple" as the palate cleanser course was thoughtful and delicious. It's hard to pick a favorite course, because they were all sublime. We did find one of the meat courses, (like other reviewers) slightly salty (just the meat on its own was well-seasoned), but when eaten with the sauce (and I believe it was apple or pear), it was balanced and delicious. Being presented with the "gift" of a homemade loaf from the kitchen and "menu" to remember the experience was thoughtful. We can't wait to get back to Vegas in another season and see what the chef dreams up. Expensive, of course, but it is a thoroughly enjoyable fine dining experience and we will certainly repeat it. Unanimously, our party highly recommends. read more

I had a wonderful experience. Kit was a total sweetheart, who served us bread and desserts. He recommended specific options he loved himself and we were so grateful. During dessert he asked us our favorite types of flavor profiles and made us a custom plate- after trying one of the little coconut desserts, we loved it so much and had to tell him! Once we told him, he even packed another one to take back home. It was so nice of him. Our sommelier was Thomas. He had a great personality, gave us a ton of history and explanation on the wines that we were served. The selection he made was really incredible, loved every one! Mind you, we ordered two different pairing to compare against the chef tasting menu. Worth it! It was an adventure! The chef's tasting menu was also on point. All of our dishes we had a deep appreciation for. The only thing I would note is that towards the end of the dinner we had so much food we almost couldn't finish it all. They do have a dress code, but we noticed a lot of guests did come more casually dressed...and that seemed to be fine. I don't think they turn you away if you do not have the proper attire. Overall, a really special experience. We dressed up, ate great food and loved our interactions with the staff. I feel absolutely grateful to have had the opportunity to try the chef's tasting menu. read more

As you step in to the restaurant, the decor and ambiance sets the time of the whole dining experience. It has a subdued lighting, dark wood panels, and it exudes of elegance. The rest of the restaurant is even more impressive. This upscale decor matches the dishes and drinks served. Each dish was divine. The servers were a huge part of the experience. They were attentive, knew the menu well and provided excellent suggestions, efficient, actively listened, and efficient! Also, just be warned that whatever prix fixe menu you choose, you have to budget AT LEASR $500 per person. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The attention to detail is OUTRAGEOUS & the service is IMPECABLEI hate that I have visited Vegas so many times but this is my first time w/ Joel...You gotta go. Sure, it's a budget-buster but a GOOD ONE. I promise. read more

2nd time here while it was my sweet husband's first. Amazing service from start to finish. Definitely worthy of every Michelin star. We opted for the Menu Dégustation and were very well fed. Each dish was creative, beautifully plated, light yet filling. Didn't feel weighed down at any point. I'm not a dessert person but my favorite dish was the Le Papillon - smooth hazelnut milk chocolate crémeux and praliné ice cream. So pretty and delicious! read more

Joel Robuchon - Degustation - French Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This was the most incredible dining experience I've ever had, definitely worth every penny. They made us feel like royalty from the minute we walked in. The ambiance was absolutely perfect. Very romantic and quiet with a nice piano music playing softly. Beautifully decorated restaurant with perfect soft lighting and candles and fresh roses on the table. We were greeted by multiple people and all very attentive and professional. The service was world class, the most professional I have experienced. Every single course we had was better than the previous. All meticulously prepared, beautifully presented and an exquisite concoction of textures and flavors. They started by presenting fresh shaved butter from a case that looked like the Beauty and the Beast rose case. Then presented a cart full of different fresh baked breads that we could choose anything we wanted. Followed by multiple courses of appetizers and main courses, each plate better than the prior. Our favorite was Le Boeuf- the chateaubriand with foie gras and truffle, probably the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. After all of that, came our desserts- the soufflé was the shining star here. All beautifully prepared. The soufflé had the perfect texture and taste. We also were given a special cake for our anniversary. And then to top it off, came a dessert French pastry cart to choose whatever we desired from. They prepared a box of items for us and sent us home with a loaf of fresh baked banana walnut bread. The extensive wine list (the size of a large phonebook) is also worth mentioning and the sommelier was super helpful. This place was definitely worth the experience and we will be back ! read more

Wonderful meal at JR in Vegas recently. The ambiance and service are over the top. The meal was paced pretty well (some minor slowdowns due to the various carts (bread, cheese, mignardise) getting caught in traffic mid service). But didn't mind The amuse, all courses we ordered (we opted for prefixe menus vs the full tasting), drinks, bread and cheese were delicious. Very delicious food. Favorites were the gazpacho amuse, langoustine ravioli with foie sauce, chicken entree with morels, asparagus and foie. Cheese cart had a pretty good selection and they were generous with everything. Also the take home marble cake was delicious! read more

Whatever I eat in Vegas, does not stay stay in Vegas. It get posted and reviewed on Yelp! The food is high quality and you get unlimited bread and dessert. The two most dangerous and delicious part of your meal. If you don't eat a lot, skip on the bread until your last course. But don't get too full or else you won't have room for that dessert cart. I know, it's hard. I can sympathize. My favorite dish was the black cod with butternut squash purée. It was the most underrated looking but surprisingly delicious dish. The butternut squash purée was tasty, creamy, and paired well with the black cod. What made our experience extra special was when we asked our server if we could have our courses served in reverse, they said yes with their recommendations that dessert remains last because of the bodily response to sugar. Lastly, the decor of the restaurant is absolutely picturesque. The ambiance is romantic yet grand. A fabulous place to take a loved one to. Lastly, yes this is a very pretty penny. Reservations are required. Bon appetit yelpers! read more

3 Stars, because it was just 'ok'. I was really looking forward otto experiencing the famous pomme puree. The potatoes were cold and gummy like they were whipped with an electric mixer. Complete let down. The rest of the meal was nothing special. Service was good. read more

Ten and a half years ago, I proposed to my wife over dinner at Joel Robuchon. Fortunately, she said "yes" otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take her back there to celebrate our 10th anniversary. A couple of months before our anniversary date, I called the restaurant for reservations and made a special request to be seated at the same table that we had been seated when I proposed. The person taking my reservation couldn't guarantee my request would be fulfilled, but it would be noted on my reservation. We arrived at the restaurant a few minutes before our 6:00 PM reservation. After a very brief wait in the lounge, we were taken to our table precisely at our appointed time. Thankfully, in the decade that had passed since our previous visit to Joel Robuchon, the layout of the dining room was largely unchanged so, much to my joy, we were led to the table that I had requested. We knew going in that we were going to have the Menu Degustation and only had make a decision on drinks. On our previous visit, I don't recall if there were set wine pairings available with the tasting menu because we likely would've gone that route had there been. However, this time around, there were three pairings (Village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru) consisting of different wine selections set at different price points. We went with the mid-tier, Premier Cru pairing. Almost as soon as our order was placed, our dining experience began as the service team filled our water and wine glasses, wheeled over the cart of amazing breads, and prepared the accompanying butter. Our table was prepared for the first course and soon after, a precisely choreographed parade of thoughtfully conceived, perfectly executed, aesthetically pleasing, delightfully delicious food was brought forth for our enjoyment. The selection of wines were, not unexpectedly, mostly French pulled from Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the Rhone regions, and paired perfectly with each corresponding course. Rather than giving a blow by blow of each course...I loved them all!...just take a look at my pics of our menu and the food we received and see if it tickles your fancy. I deeply enjoy French fine dining and, in my opinion, Las Vegas is the best place in America to find it. Joel Robuchon is the epitome of French fine dining in Las Vegas, and it holds a very special place in my heart. It's not an inexpensive night out. In truth, it's definitely not for the faint of heart when it comes to the price tag as it can easily add up to and surpass a month's rent or a mortgage payment. That said, EVERYTHING about Joel Robuchon from the setting, the service, the food, and the wine was impeccable. It's the perfect place for the most special of occasions. read more

We had our anniversary dinner at Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas this year.  It is always a pleasure to celebrate with our beloved daughter. Joel Robuchon is the only 3 Michelin star restaurant in Vegas, which is the highest rating in the Michelin system.  However, it should also be noted that Michelin has stopped rating restaurants in Las Vegas since 2009.  We had our expectations set very high, although it was a very nice experience indeed, at this price point, there's room for improvement in our opinion. The venue was decorated to resemble a luxurious Art Deco townhouse that even had a lush garden terrace.  It had beautiful and intimate seating, the couch that Daughter and I sat on was fluffy and comfortable!  Since the restaurant was small, there's always some staff standing in close range watching you, sometimes it could feel a little awkward. Each of us had the Degustation Menu and I expected the food to be nothing less than perfect.  We liked most of the dishes. My favorites were Le Caviar Imperial, La Tomate, La Saint-Jaques, and Le Black Cod. However, I have to deduct 1 Yelp star because of the high price and the last savory dish -- La Canette. At $525 per person for the Degustation Menu, when we compared their quality and quantity of food to other 3 Michelin star restaurants such as Alinea and Grace (now closed) in Chicago, it is overpriced.  Also, there was no wow factor to me.  Actually, the piece of duck in the La Canette dish needs a lot of improvement.  The skin was not crispy as mentioned in the server's description, the layer of fat underneath it was so chewy and rubbery that even a knife couldn't cut it away. The duck meat was just OK. Hubby said that his whole piece of duck was chewy.  After having some excellent Peking duck and roast duck with crispy skin and tender meat recently, this piece of high-priced duck was a disappointment. Service was impeccable.  Our main server, Andrew, was very friendly and attentive.  Actually, all the servers were nice and professional. As I read from other reviews, the bread cart and the mignardises cart are always impressive.  The presentation of the complimentary cake to celebrate our anniversary was lovely!  The small pieces of the anniversary cake that we actually had were not too sweet and were refreshing, and had a sorbet texture to them!  It was a pleasant surprise that they gave us 2 gift bags of Lemon Pound Cake to take home after dinner! It tasted dry the next day when we tasted the cake in the hotel. However, when I microwaved a piece a couple days later when we were home, it tasted good and moist with a nice lemon aroma, the lemon rind was nice too. All in all, it was a good and luxurious celebration dinner in Vegas! read more

I've been fortunate enough to dine in Michelin threes around the world but no matter how innovative or traditional the cuisine, how elegant or rustic the décor, how large the cellar, how many enhancements to the meal, the only Joel Robouchon in the US right here in VEGAS tops them all. Why? The service. Warm and inviting yet utterly flawless. It instantly puts you at ease and leaves you to enjoy the experience. Joke about the mini bacon epi during the bread service because who doesn't love bacon to speaking at length with the expert sommelier when we discover we love the same regions of France. All the way to the server having the kitchen reduce the serving of the second part of our entree after hearing we were getting full and really didn't want to waste food. The food, exquisite. Dishes are familiar with little use of modernist or molecular techniques. They are brilliantly composed with minimal elements when combined that truly bring a intriguing smile to your face. Caviar sat on a nest similar in texture to deep fried rice noodles that surrounds a soft boiled egg, cold smoked salmon and dill complete the dish. Beautiful texture. The egg yolk reinforces the yolkiness of the caviar while the salmon its oceanic flavor. My reason for the visit, the roasted Guinea hen with foie gras (for two) served in two courses. Your entire hen and a half lobe of foie are presented then white meat is sliced and served sandwiched with foie, a herb "salad" and roasted potatoes. The second course features the dark meat with crispy skin again sandwiched with foie and the famed Robuchon potatoes. Both cuts extremely juicy, each sauced simply with the birds jus and melting foie fat. Simplicity at its best. Stunning in every respect. An experience that any serious foodie needs to experience. * * * * * * * * FAQs updated for 2023: - Are reservations required? Yes.
