We were fortunate to have been seated in an area, the fountain lounge, that offered privacy from the main seating area, an eye-catching view of the strip and the Bellagio Water Show, and comfort; take a look at the pictures on the Koi website- really, the picture doesn't do it justice. The experience really does begin from the time you're greeted to the moment you leave Koi. Koi is appealing to all of the senses. You can't help but gaze out into the fabulous view or scan the subtle details of the room itself. The service provided to us was exceptional; we truly felt taken care of. Nathan, our server, and his support staff were intuitive, talkative, humorous, kind, attentive, and, I feel, went above and beyond. For example, my friend, Carol, asked where she could find the ladies room and one of the Koi staff walked her all the way to the entrance of the ladies room. The food was unforgettable, succulent, and adventurous. I suggest the Hamachi Fusion, the Miso Bronzed Black Cod, the Grilled Skirt Steak, the Spicy Rock Shrimp Tempura Hand Roll (this one really made an impression on us), the Coconut Rice Pudding Brulee for dessert, and the Asian Pear for cocktails. I look forward to the next time I am able to dine at Koi; it is a gem within a city of many gems.
Pros: Appealing to all senses, unforgettable food, excellent service, ambience, located mid-strip.
Cons: The A/C was turned up too high for our preference.
