Among the first wave of nationwide fine-dining imports to come to Las Vegas, Wolfgang Puck's Spago remains among the very best. Executive chef Eric Klein, a native of Alsace, rejoined Wolfgang Puck as executive chef, replicating the sophisticated and daily changing fare in the Puck tradition and creating innovative tastes using all natural, fresh and organic ingredients. Klein first joined the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group in 1996, working for seven years at Chinois, Obachine and Spago Beverly Hills. He continued to perfect his craft as executive chef at Beverly Hillsâ€™ Maple Drive, Wynn Las Vegasâ€™ SW, and FIX in Bellagio. In Spagoâ€™s cafÃ© (fronting the fine-dining room), the signature smoked salmon pizza with dill cream, black caviar and chives is a winner. We also like Puckâ€™s favorite comfort food---meatloaf with various preparations, such as a pancetta wrapping and accompaniments including mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and onion rings. Overlooking a bustling Forum Shops walkway, the CafÃ© is good for no-reservations dining and people-watching. In season, the blue crab cakes with orange-fennel marmalade are among our favorites, as is Hong Kong-style steamed Loch Duart salmon with bok choy, snap peas and ponzu sauce. Carnivores like the slow-braised beef short ribs with handmade ricotta gnocchi, roasted tomato and olive sauce. The wine list nicely complements the creative cuisine. Save room for Spago's sweet temptations such as banana bread pudding with white chocolate custard and walnut ice cream.

Good food poor service by Maquak on 08/08/2008

Went to Spago as I always do on my trips to Vegas August 4, 20008. The food was great, service getting worse and worse each year. Last year had to get my own drink, short staff, this year table behind me with 3 women pre-occupied my waiter. He saw me only once after a wait, to get my order and once to bring the first and only drink. Food runner brought salad, no pepper, she did not understand, bus person served lots of water but could not bring me wine. She asked waiter twice to come to table. As app came, the Smoke Salmon Pizza, I thought I would get up and get my own drink again, but decided, I have had enough. Waked out on what would have been a truly good meal. The service here at this Spago in Ceasars Palace is lacking. The times I did get a decent waiter, the food delivery time seemed excessive for the time of day I dine. I expect and pay for better. There are too many great restaurants in this town to put up with less. I quit eating dinner here two years ago because of the chaos at night. The night wait staff does try, but there are too few it seems. After 8 years, 3 times each year, this was my last meal at spago. This particular waiter was the end for me.
