Sensi

Sensi Review

It's no easy feat coming up with a truly original restaurant in Vegas that offers more than just a gimmicky theme or celebrity-chef pedigree. Sensi, a casual but cosmopolitan spot that's secluded from Bellagio's noisy gaming areas, succeeds on all counts. Executive Chef Martin Heierling, who's highly respected in culinary circles, presents a menu that's divided into four distinct culinary realms: Asian dishes, Italian fare, raw and seafood specialties, and grilled meat. Specials on a given night might include spice-rubbed butter-curry chicken prepared in an authentic tandoori oven, ahi tuna ceviche, and wood-fired focaccia topped with Vacherin cheese and black truffles. Quench your thirst with a glass of house-made ginger ale. If you have a couple of friends with you, try the showy dessert sampler, which offers a taste of several sugary creations. The dining room, with its sandstone and glass walls and flowing waterfalls, is as dramatic as the food.
