Las Vegas

There are 2 seating times (5:30 PM & 8:30 PM) with only 9 seats at a counter in an intimate room. It all started with getting the golden tickets in the mail! We heard from other guests that the waiting list to é is months long. :O

PIERRE GAGNAIRE’S SPIRIT MENU

Twist is Pierre Gagnaire’s first restaurant in the United States and it is located on the 23rd floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. I like the idea of a tasting menu letting you experience a wide range of Chef’s dishes, but there were too many ideas to get my head around.
