Review: Only Wolfgang Puck has the talent, brains, and audacity to situate an
upscale restaurant serving Sino-Euro-Nipponese fare almost adjacent to his
highly successful venue, Spago, which serves California-Italian-Franco-Asian
cuisine. If fusion confusion besets, take heed. Spago is really a French
restaurant using a lot of Asian ingredients (with pizzas thrown in just to
bemuse and further confuse), while Chinois cooks Chinese with a certain Gallic
flair. Just to keep you on your toes, Puck also installed a sushi bar, and an
excellent one at that. Petty nationalism obviously has no place in his cult of
culinary cross-pollination. Try the ethereal foie gras, followed by the
sharply spiced Shanghai lobster, stir-fried string beans, and creamy rich
green tea ice cream encased in a large (and definitely French) funnel-shaped
Tuile cookie, an you'll see what this revolutionary cooking is all about. --

Review: Alternative sandwich combinations are this cafe's specialty. The 'Fluffernutter'
(crunchy peanut butter,
marshmallow fluff, and jam) combines lunch and dessert, while 'The Whole Farm'
(everything from avocado
and carrots to sliced egg and cream cheese) leaves diners feeling wholly
satisfied. Also on the menu are soups,
salads, a number of bakery items, and fresh-fruit smoothies. -- Las Vegas Life
