PAYARD BISTRO $19 Lunch
For you cynics who carped about the $89 Joel Robuchon menu, try finding fault with Gregory Gorreau’s $19 Blue Plate Special at Payard Bistro.
Yes, for less than an Andy Jackson, you get a finely-tuned couscous or heirloom tomato salad, a nice block of snow-white, perfectly cooked halibut or a marinated skirt steak with foie gras jus, and a martini glass of the freshest strawberries topped with a chocolate tuile and pistachio ice cream.
Compare that to the fifteen buck microwaved mess you shoved down your pie hole at Marie Callender’s the other day, and you’ll see my point….
….This is the best deal in town right now.
Although it’s only available at lunch.
In Caesars Palace.
At a restaurant that’s admittedly tough to find.
But worth it.
Oh yeah, the banana-Nutella-chocolate crepe is….how has ELV and his staff said it in the past?….So good it will make you weep.
But it costs extra.
And is also more than worth it.

Your halibut was much bigger than the one that this unrecognizable amateur critic got. Mine was still flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the “tabouleh” had great flavor, but your halibut was at least double the size of mine. Just sayin’.
