Red Square Review

Theatrical designs, including a long bar made of ice and soaring coffered ceilings, temper an upscale menu at this Soviet-chic place, where a massive, headless Lenin statue guards the entrance. For starters, swill a martini made from one of the 200 varieties of vodka and graze on caviar, Siberian nachos (wonton chips topped with smoked salmon, wasabi cream, tobiko, and caviar), or tuna and steak tartare. Other menu items might include chicken Kiev, lobster and black-truffle fettuccine, or Roquefort-crusted filet mignon. For dessert, try the chocolate cake with vanilla-bourbon ice cream and strawberry-melba sauce. Also, be sure to check out the walk-in vodka freezer. There are some better food options at Mandalay Bay, but few restaurants measure up when it comes to panache.
