    My husband and I enjoyed another traditional gourmet meal at Pamplemousse Le Restaurant in Las Vegas. Dinner starts with crudités, a wonderful selection of fresh vegetables (a nice alternative to a salad), along with olives and bread. The pistachio crust & rosemary gave my Rack of Lamb just the right touch; I like that it is available for one. My husband started with the classic French Onion Soup Gratinée, and for his entrée chose a special - the osso bucco - pronouncing it better than any he has had from an Italian chef. In lieu of an appetizer, I saved room for a Grand Marnier Soufflé. Even with a very nice bottle of wine, the dinner was a good value. In the past we have also enjoyed Roasted Duckling, Veal Medallions, Shrimp, Filet Mignon - all served with a variety of delicious sauces.

    The restaurant sits by itself on the north side of Saraha Avenue, just east of the Strip, so you'll need a rental car or taxi to get there. The French country inn ambiance is complemented by the attentitive, personal service.

    A trip to Las Vegas is not complete for us without a dinner in this intimate retreat. While it is a romatic setting, it is also appropriate for business. I was introduced to it 20-some years ago by a colleague; he suggested we get away from the Strip and dine at Pamplemousse. Not only have I been coming back regularly, but I have brought clients, friends and fellow conference attendees.

    My husband and I went there together with another couple. It was wonderful. THe service was the best we had ever seen (and I test out places all the time for my job) and it was very romantic - so this would be a great place for an anniversary or special night with your special someone. I highly recomend the Filet!! My husband LOVED his chicken! There Soufle (sp?) is a must!

    We had dinner for our anniversary at Pamplemousse recently (We’ve been going there on special occasions for many years) and were told that George (the original owner) has taken in a partner. The partner has instituted several changes that rendered our dinner a big disappointment.
    The crudite (vegetable basket) used to be served in a big basket, along with delicious hard boiled eggs. Now it is served in a tiny bucket type thing.
    I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio and strongly suspect that it had been watered down judging by the effect that it didn’t have ;-).
    The menu used to be recited by the waiters; now it is printed just like in other restaurants. This used to be one of the things that set Pamplemousse apart.
    I could go on but, all in all, I’m truly sorry to say that dinner was a major disappointment.
