"Once inside this peaceful retreat, mid-town traffic feels a million miles away. And the food presentation matches up to the restaurant's namesake, seen in lovely butterfly portraits around the room." - MetroActive.com

Great food, very good service, but if a restaurant feels compelled to serve unsalted butter there should at least be some salt on the table. But was really inexcusable was serving hot dishes on cold plates.

"We had a terrific dinner and dining experience at Lutece! In fact, we spent 4 days in Las Vegas and had many meals -- several more expensive than Lutece (thanks to DinnerBroker!), but we agreed, we not only had the best food, we were treated like a king and queen by the entire staff. The service was impeccable. We definitely plan to return on our next trip. Just want you to know, we were so pleased that we would return with or without the discount. Thanks for helping make our weekend fantastic." David & Molly A.-Las Vegas, NV
