A French-Inspired Culinary Gem
As longtime followers of Bobby Flay's culinary ventures, having enjoyed memorable meals at Mesa Grill in Las Vegas and Gato in New York, we were eager to experience his latest Vegas establishment. Brasserie B not only lived up to our expectations but proved to be an AMAZING addition to the city's dining scene.
Ambiance
The restaurant's aesthetic presents an interesting juxtaposition - while I initially perceived a cafeteria-like simplicity, my husband noted its authenticity to a French brasserie. Thoughtful touches, like providing black napkins to prevent lint transfer to dark clothing, demonstrate attention to detail that elevates the dining experience.
Wine Program
The wine list, while extensive, skews notably expensive. Our choice of Frank Family Estates Cabernet was excellent, though the markup exceeded typical restaurant pricing. For a Las Vegas establishment, the absence of quality options in the $75-100 range feels like a missed opportunity. While premium wines certainly have their place, a more diverse price range would better serve the full spectrum of diners.
Culinary Excellence
The true star of the evening was the consistently exceptional food, with each course justifying its premium pricing:
Appetizers
The steak tartare emerged as a standout, ranking as perhaps the finest version I've encountered - a bold statement given I reserve this dish for trusted high-end establishments. The baby gem Caesar and escargot rounded out our starters, each executed with precision and flavor.
Main Courses
Our party of three explored diverse offerings, each proving memorable:
- Salmon: A revelation featuring a unique honey preparation that transformed the familiar fish into something extraordinary
- Pork Chop: So expertly prepared that it was picked clean to the bone
- Mussels: Served in a perfectly balanced garlic broth that was light yet flavorful
