THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED The Slanted Door Restaurant Review:

San Francisco-based chef Charles Phan has brought The Slanted Door to Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace. Situated on Forum Shops at Caesars’ bottom level, the space features a black and white color scheme with white marble tabletops and a lattice ceiling; black leather chairs; an open 40-foot kitchen; and oak floors. The menu ranges from spring rolls with shrimp, pork, mint, shallot mayonnaise and peanut sauce (and a vegan version with tofu, shiitake, cabbage, mint and peanut sauce) to cellophane noodles with green onion, crab and sesame; and shaking beef with filet mignon, watercress, red onion and lime sauce. The beverage program reflects Phan’s love of whiskey, and includes the Whiskey Cocktail with Buffalo Trace bourbon, Angostura and orange bitters and gomme syrup. The kitchen is headed by Lanny Chin (who formerly oversaw Clique Hospitality Group’s venues at Palms).
