Pamplemousse Restaurant

Wanted to try this place out, it looked pretty good. I was impressed with the soufle, but the french sauces on all our dishes was not up to snuff (think weak flavor and corn starch). I was very impressed with the service. The bill was on the high side because we ordered expensive wine. Overall, if you have lots of time in Vegas to kill, go here. If your short on time and cash, then pick a new up and coming spot like (as of 2012) ""Sage"". Avoid Yelp, allegedly they rig ratings (thru unexplained ""filter"" algorythms that favor advertisers). more

Very nice romantic atmosphere, The menu is a toast to fine French fare, exceptional service ,the food ummm so delicious, the perfect place to take your special one. A very original place. more

Pamplemousse is tucked away in a fringe area of East Sahara near Paradise Road.The room is a flashback to 1950's Las Vegas. The fettucine a la Georges was a winner as were the duck breast and confit. Service is good but less formal than in many fine restaurants. Worth a visit more

wow what a huge dissapointment at what could be a really great restaurant! my husband and i had 8:30 reservations and looking in a half full dining room they made us wait 20 min before we got seated!(i really hate this, all they were trying to do was push us on the bar and press us to buy over priced drinks!!, ) when we where finally seated we still had to wait a good 5 min before anybody even noticed we were there! the food was very good dont get me wrong and prepaired perfectly, but a 45 min wait between apps and dinner? nobody ever filled a water glasses? they even forgot one of our side dishes!! and i had to waive the waiter down to get it!! this was worse service then what you expect at a dennys!! and this is a fine dining $150-200 a head wolfgang puck restaurant!! like i said food was great, but everything else was awful more

We were hassled IN THE PARKING LOT by a homeless man. After a really pushy conversation while my wife was standing right next to me, I was so agitated I had a hard time enjoying the food. Service was average, nothing exemplary. We mentioned to one of the waiters about the situation outside, and he said he would take care of it. After dinner was over, we came back out, and he was still there. Pros: Good authentic French food Cons: terrible parking, LYING waiters? more

No Menus - Me and my boyfriend don't speak french. We ordered with ""uhm and ahh"". We took suggestions from the waiter\r Bad Parking - We parked parralel to Sahara. It was a very busy night. Not in the best part of Las Vegas\r Stuffy Restaurant - Very small. Wasn't ""romantic"" like I had originally thought. Not enough room to do anything. Waiters constantly were leaning into our table to let others pass.\r Waiters - Perhaps it was a long day for them. Very huffy and impatient. Felt a little ackward like we had done something wrong.\r \r I would never reccomend someone to here. Pros: Not on the Strip Cons: Parking, Ambience, Rude Waiters, No Menus more

This was by far the best dining experience my wife & I have had in years. We felt like we were long-time friends of the staff by the time we left. The food was spectacular, plentiful, and quite reasonably priced. On the way there, the cab driver asked us how may times we had been there, to which we answered ""none, why?"" His reply: ""because most people I drive there dine there every trip they take to Vegas"" Enough said. You WON'T be disappointed. Pros: reasonable prices, friendly staff, memorable food more

Just returned from Vegas. As always, we had a dinner at Pamplemousse. Party of 10. Outstanding food and value. This was our third dinner with Pamplemousse in the past year. Twice with groups of 8 and 10 and once with a party of 40. They have not missed a beat. Even opened 15 minutes early for us this time....so we could make a show. We will always dine at Pamplemousse when we are in Vegas and you should too. Price......salad, appetizer, main entree and wine....skipped desert since we planned to have it later......$52 including tip......that is outstanding value in Las Vegas!!! more

This is a nice place a bit off the strip in Vegas. The outside is unimpressive, but the inside is cute and looks a bit like a wine cellar. They start every table off with a crudite of very large vegetables with some fantastic dressing, great hot bread, and olives. The main courses are good - we tried the duck with cranberry sauce and the veals, both ways. Dessert was profiteroles which were good, but not fabulous. more

I Went to Pamplrmousse for the second time in three years and again it was great. The food was excellent, service great, and the atmosphere was just what you would want for that romantic evening for two. Great job again guys! Steve Pros: Good ValueFriendly more

Fabulous treatment/food/atmosphere!! Everything was more wonderful/tasty/pleasant than we imagined it would be. Thank you so much! Absolutely recommended to anyone who wants delicious, fairly priced French cuisine, prepared and served by a friendly/funny/attentive staff. Pros: Convenient, Affordable, Delicious more

My wife and I celebrated our first anniversary with a dinner at Pamplemousse. We're locals and wanted something different than the often great fare in the hotels, and this was absolutely wonderful. Dinner was extremely good and the entire dining experience wonderful. Reggie and Chris, our servers, provided us with one of the best dining experiences we have ever had and expect to return to have again and again. Pros: Excellent Food, Memorable Service, Initimate Atmosphere more

Where else can you go for appetizers, salad, bread, wine, entres, dessert, and atmosphere for $35 per person? I can't wait to go back. Don't let the exterior or the lack of menus scare you away. more

Possibly the best $90 (incl. tax, 20% tip) I've spent for a meal (for 2). Food was excellent, service was top drawer. The wait staff was great, and the depth and quality of the menu was impressive. Everything we had was superb. The only negative was parking is minimal, and the restaurant is not located in the greatest part of town. Pros: service, value, atmosphere Cons: parking more

Pamplemousse is a dining experience. The extraordinary staff treat all their patrons as if they were celebrities. With each visit to Las Vegas we look forward to dining here. P.S. The Creme' Brulee is incredible!! more

I think the food was delicious but the service it's disappointed. The waiter who serve us was a little rude. He serve a wrong dish to my FH and a few minutes later he realized the he is serving the wrong dish, he stop by and pick up all the stuff not even inform us what's wrong or apologized to us. more

from the basket of crudites with lucious fresh bread to frog legs of excellent flavor on to exquisite duck with cranberry puree and superb lamb crusted in nuts and finished off with a sumptuous dessert one could ask for little more... an excellent wine list ..... atmosphere and courteous attentive waiters a truely delightful dining experience Pros: service, atmosphere, portions Cons: coffee more
