after trying joel robuchon next door, i was kind of hesitant to try l'atelier.  not that the food wasn't good...i just wasn't wow'd.  i'm so glad i did, bc it is now one of my favorite restaurants in las vegas...it's that good...from the the service, to the ambiance...and most of all the food.  we started off with an amuse buche...foie gras parfait with parmesan foam...definitely a heart attack in a shot glass.  i ordered the tasting menu and my friend ordered pork/potato/truffle trio, the iberian ham (l'atelier is one of the first restaurants to procure iberian ham which only became available in the US earlier this year), quail, and souffle with pistacchio ice cream.  the food was amazing...can't wait to go back.\n\ntip:  sit at the bar
