THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Aqua Restaurant Review:
With a Robert Rauschenberg on the wall and the team of Mark LoRusso and consulting chef Michael Mina in the kitchen, this elegant restaurant delivers among the very best cutting-edge cuisine on the Strip. How such pristine dishes manage to explode with flavor wows us every time. For starters, its hard to decide among the black mussel soufflé with Chardonnay, garlic and parsley; the sautéed Atlantic skate with tempura langoustine, fennel purée and shellfish cream; and the seared sea scallops and domestic foie gras with rhubarb pie and red endive. Its equally difficult to pick an entrée when the choices range from smoked bacon and herb-crusted turbot with fingerling potatoes, spring onions and spicy mustard sauce; and truffle butter-poached wild salmon with shrimp and pea lasagna, and summer truffles. We therefore suggest ordering a five-course tasting menu, one of which is vegetarian. Thats the fastest way to acquire Aqua bliss. Among à la carte sweet finales are a dessert sampler, and a marbleized chocolate cheesecake. Sommeliers Caleb Dial and Joe Phillips oversee the exciting wine list.
