Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino

We had a 7pm reservation on Thanksgiving Day. Since we were staying at the other side of the strip, we thought of going early to check if we can be seated earlier. Anyways, our backup plan was to kill time in the casino. 🤣 Luckily, they were able to accommodate our request. The table provided had front row seats to the 5 open kitchen setup. 😍 Shoutout to our server Paola Partida! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not only did she provide excellent service, she also was very patient in explaining the menu. She also took time to explain what to expect from the different kind of steaks on their menu. She even took me to see the meat display. 😮 We ordered the following: Cotton candy foie gras ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Turkey croquetas ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 28 days washugyu/angus ribeye ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Vaca Vieja ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but it was my first time having it Mushrooms ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Potato puree ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely round 2 the next time we visit LV!!! Still a lot on the menu to try.

Wonderful evening spent with good friends for Thanksgiving and a birthday. Attentive staff, the head chef even came by to say hi and see how things were. At the end of the evening, she was gracious enough to give the kids a quick tour of the kitchen, from the outside, not where all the chefs were. Beef wellington was amazing, and so was the seafood tower. I feel like a shark after eating all that shellfish. Haha. Sticky toffee pudding...I wanted more but was so full. I'll go back just for a dessert run. Amazing overall. Pricey, but that's paying for the service, atmosphere, rent, and some of the best food I've had in Las Vegas.

It was our first time at Carson’s kitchen. Bianca S. was our server and she was awesome. The Mac and cheese was so good! We will be back again.

Always a treat to have their pizza. It is the best outside of Italy!

Had an early dinner at Bar Centro, a restaurant by José Andrés located a half-floor down from Bazaar Mar in Crystals. Started with the Sangría de Cava ($18), a nice fruity punch. Wavered over several options within the Little Snacks section but ultimately chose the José's Taco ($25): I pray that my surprise was not visible on my face when this was delivered. This was really SMALL, shorter than my pinky finger, for 25 dollars. Tasty morsel to be sure, but still, a mere nibble for 25 dollars. Had opted for the Daisy de Graná ($22) to go with the "taco". This drink was fantastic, with a great contrast between the lightly sweet/sour citrus liquid and the salt foam top. Gave a good buzz too. Had two. As dessert, The Foie-full $14): Cute crispy waffle, heavy on the peanut butter scent and taste. The Modifier ($22): Finished at the bar with a mad scientist flair, complete with smoking flask. Not as sweet as ingredients might lead to expect. Value: Cocktails crushed it; food items I ordered though sent the value prospect plummeting due to the wee portions. Especially that "taco". Atmosphere: As with its larger sibling Bazaar Mar, Bar Centro went to great design lengths to conceal its location in a mall. Green trellises, fringed awnings, white plaster(?) statues, colorful embroidered chairs. But the mall atmosphere intruded-being located on the landing between levels, it's bounded by public stairs and escalators, and the surrounding white walls break the illusion of dining in a garden pavilion. But the deco is lovely. Service: Superb from John and Josh (? forgive if wrong; the man with two-tone hair). Very personable and charming. Hostess and runners were friendly and professional as well.
