Dear ELV,
Relying principally on the recommendation of Eating Las Vegas 2012, I made a reservation for 3 at Twist for last Saturday. On previous trips to LV, we had partaken of outstanding meals at RM Upstairs, Aureole, Fleur de Lys, and Carnevino. On this trip we had already eaten at L’Atelier, and Jaleo (and later at Lotus of Siam), and we were excited to continue our adventure.
Our preference, when the chef is a better cook than I am an eater, is to ask that the chef serve good food, and I will get out of the way, without any limitations as to what I “like” or what anyone may be “allergic” to. We had the 6 course tasting menu ($189) plus the wine pairings (an additional $110 ea.). Granted, an enormous bill, but one I’m happy to pay for great food.
The food was okay, but that is not why I’m writing: the wine ruined the meal.
