Partage

We are locals who LOVE Partage. Dinner followed by a show after at the Little Theatre around the corner is our favorite date night. We love not ordering and simply trusting the chef to treat us to what is fresh and interesting to them. In a city full of special dining experience, Partage is extraordinary. Tonight the octopus, halibut (with peanuts), steak and chocolate mouse were our favorites. Oh, and the puff pastry, cold soup and butter cookies. So, every course was our favorite!

Simply the best… great place and worth all the money. Unfortunately though the chef did not come to the table….

Excellent. Would most likely Get a Michelin Star if The Guide Would be in Vegas. Definitely a Gastronomic option for you.

Wonderful place. Great food. The chief, Yuri, even came around after our meal and asked how everything was.

Tasting menu at Partage. Here are my thoughts

The interior is warm, the light soft. The service is attentive at this early evening seating. A bone marrow broth with braised oxtail and smoked eel follows the amuse bouche. Then, a pan seared foie gras over pineapple mango chutney, topped with salted caramel.

It's an earthy start, especially with the foundation of smoked hay. The structural aesthetics of the pot-au-feu are splendid, one of the highlights. The smokiness quickly recedes, leaving you with a pastoral, low country feel, a state of being in nature, not exposed, but just tangible enough to infuse you with meaning, with memory. And then the bone marrow broth and braised oxtail gives way to this slow, melting fruit feeling. It's like coming out of a late winter or cold spring. And as you barely taste the foie gras, a subtle, gentle crisp of the underlying pineapple supports your descent into the chef's vision.

This is an acknowledgment of the first page turn, the idea that you're not eating a meal, but just starting to understand a story. Next is a North Atlantic cod wrapped in A5 wagyu, accompanied by celery variations: pureed celery root and whole celery root, both overlaid with an olive sponge cake. The pairing of a French pinot surprises, both by design and by palette, to bring out the finishing flavor in the ensemble - the wagyu.

The bite is sublime and immediate elevates you from the sweeter experience of the foie gras. We are introduced to a cool summer day along the ocean. We smell the sea air and feel the wind. We remember the fire built just hours earlier, the hands that built it. The momentary reminiscence to our pre-modern life. The wagyu blends so beautifully with the pinot, completely opening you up, unannounced and yet fully welcomed. It introduces a new part of the story. An evening walk after dinner along the coast.

The olive sponge cake: like sitting down and lying in the grass, breathing in the night air. You kiss your children and your wife. As the taste lingers, you turn over on your side, tuck your hands underneath your head, and remember your childhood. As the lucid dream extends, a freshly sliced olive and yuzu wakes you up again, infusing you with light and the energy of your surroundings.

Pan seared duck breast with sweet potato puree, and an ice cream cone sweet potato chip with a thousand layer carrot and mango chutney, mixed with curry, and topped with frozen sweet potato ice cream. Paired with a Syrah.

Here we have something. The duck breast and the syrah pairing is absolutely unreal. The puree flirts with you, the mango distracts you, the chip visually intrigues you, but those are all carefree afterthoughts. Like a beautiful girl you've already forgotten. There are these very subtle oppositions: the sweet potato wants time to join the duck, but the syrah owns this experience. The accoutrements enhance the duck on the margins... but when something wins, it wins.

Let your winners run.

The knife and the fork are perfectly placed, only taking the slightest movement of my hands to grip them fully. There's something to be said for that, the joining of the table to the body.

Dessert was a pineapple grapefruit yuzu base topped with a soaked sponge cake with edible gold leaf and yuzu cream. An espresso gives a hint of smoke that brings the meal full circle.

It's hard to write a story, a story of words, let alone the food. A story of sitting down, of being together, a story of place, of time, of circumstances. A story of thoughts both old and new. Partage told that story well.

Partage just fell flat for us. We were a group of 8 and felt absolutely rushed throughout the entire diner. 5 course meal with wines pairings in less than 60 minutes. We couldn’t even finish one glass of wine before the next meal would show up. The food was « ok », nothing earth shattering. For the price we paid I would have expected we’d stay for at least 2-3 hours and that we could relax between plates. This felt like a race to the finish. Note: we did have one of in our party that was loud and obnoxious but the other 7 felt like we got the boot. The price we paid definitely doesn’t correlate with the experience.

Had to give it three stars, for my liking it was overpriced. I have been to $350 dinners before this unfortunately should not have been one of them. The decor is beautiful the staff is friendly the food was great but not for the price. Don't get me wrong the presentation was beautiful and the food was good but not worthy of the price tag that comes with it. I'm not in any way bringing down the experience however I feel for the price it just didn't deliver.

Amazing food and top of the line experience. Staff are very relatable and welcoming. Best dinning experience I’ve ever had.

Absolute perfection.
Don’t let this little trip off the strip discourage you from having a great dinner.

Simply delicious, very unique and artistic. The duck is delightful with sweet potato and orange zest.
