Guy Savoy's stellar culinary reputation precedes him wherever he goes. Not only does he have three Michelin stars and an entry in the Larousse Culinary Encyclopedia, but he's also received the Legion d'Honneur - France's highest honor - and a vote from his French peers for the title of Chef of the Year. It's no wonder that people in the United States were clamoring to gain entry into the exclusive Restaurant Guy Savoy in Las Vegas when it opened in 2006. Although Savoy himself is still based in France, he makes regular visits to the United States in order to tend to his restaurant during Las Vegas' peak tourist seasons, which happen to coincide with French holidays. Not to worry, though: In his absence, Guy Savoy has entrusted the day-to-day management of his only American restaurant to a very special person - his son, Franck. Franck's been in the family business for most of his life, and has managed several of the restaurants in Guy's portfolio. Guy's daughter-in-law, Franck's wife Laura, serves as the restaurant's Private Dining Manager. Franck and Laura Savoy could easily be the nicest people on the planet. Both are passionate about providing their clientele with the best experience possible. Hospitable to no end, they work diligently to ensure your happiness. What's more, they make it look so easy - although we all know it's not!

Seared Foie Gras 'en Cocotte', Autumn-Winter Vegetables
It's a well-known fact that Guy Savoy is very hands-on when it comes to training his staff and to ensuring the best results possible. That holds true at his U.S. venture as well. Aiding Franck and Laura from the kitchen is Executive Chef Damien Dulas. Guy Savoy's right-hand man in the kitchen at Restaurant Guy Savoy Paris, and now the Executive Chef of Restaurant Guy Savoy in Las Vegas, he does not disappoint. Diners arrive here expecting the same experience as the Michelin-praised Parisian restaurant, and they certainly get it. Chefs Williams Caussimon and Laurent Soliveres travel between Paris and Vegas to ensure consistency between both locations; they've worked with Guy Savoy for 12 years and 15 years, respectively, so they know better than anyone what he expects. There's no doubt that the entire staff works together like a well-run symphony to provide seamless service and impeccable flavors. The restaurant is even home to a little bit of star power: Winner of the latest season of Top Chef on Bravo networks, Hung Huynh, is a sous chef at Restaurant Guy Savoy. He and his fellow chefs expertly prepare a special tasting menu that includes four courses for $130 or $120 for three courses, without dessert; the tasting menu, which is available in the Bubble Bar, features the same creations that were made in Aspen during the final episode of Top Chef in honor of Hung's victory.

Roasted Dover Sole, Mushroom Crust
While Restaurant Guy Savoy provides an elegant tasting menu, if you simply don't have the time to sit and enjoy the miraculous culinary creations, you can enjoy a TGV menu.

There's also the a la carte menu; or, if you'd prefer, your server is happy to split items to half portions so that you can create your own personal tasting menu. Now that's service!
