But I think they offer half sizes and are willing to do a make your own tasting menu.
Otherwise, they do have a tasting menu, IIRC, it’s $385

That is much more reasonable than I had remembered. I must have been thinking of one of the other super chefs in Vegas whose tasting menu was more like $700 or so...

I might have been thinking of Twist by Pierre Gagnaire, though his premium tasting menu comes with matched wines for the $777, so I guess it's a bit of a steal.
Back on topic, I'm actually back in Vegas in April and am wondering whether it's worthwhile going to any of the serious restaurants there. I did the Joel Robuchon Atelier last year after I couldn't stomach the cost of Robuchon's proper place, but it's still on my to do list after a delayed flight caused me to miss a booking there a few years ago.

If you’re going to one of them I’d pick Guy Savoy. You could do some half portions from the a la carte menu.

Going to Italy next month. Going to be traveling from Rome stopping by Florence, Venice, and ending in Milan. I have reservations at La Pergola in Rome and Vun in Milan and I'm trying to get a seat at Osteria Francescana. Any where else I should hit up?

i highly recommend 2* Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia in Milan. One of the best 2* restaurants I’ve ever enjoyed. Truly sublime, comparable in excellence IMO to Le Calandre.
In Rome, we didn’t try La Pergola, but we very much enjoyed 2* Il Pagliaccio and 1* La Terrazza.

I actually booked both for my upcoming stay in Tokyo...I enjoyed Ryugin a lot - both the atmosphere and food, but that was over a year ago and in fall, so I am curious to see what their spring menu would be...and Narisawa is something new for me this time, so I am glad to hear positive confirmation of my choice

I think Il Cibreo in Florence is a can't miss. Discussed upthread I think or possibly on a thread elsewhere. I don't think it is Michelin rated but I wouldn't pay any attention to that.

I had a lovely lunch today at 2 Michelin star Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Oxfordshire. I had read mixed reviews but this was stunning! I now have a new appreciation for quail. This meal was probably better food-wise than my meal at The Fat Duck 2 weeks ago and far far better value.
