THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Morels French Steakhouse & Bistro Restaurant Review:

Morels’ extensive menu features French hors d’oeuvres and wet- and dry-aged steaks. Among appetizers, we like the tuna poke with shrimp, mango, avocado, onion, cucumber, seaweed salad and sesame oil, as well as the Prime beef tartare with a quail egg and truffled potato chips. Oven-roasted Maine lobster with a basil beurre blanc is a standout dish, as is the Colorado rack of lamb with a honey-mustard crust and rosemary bordelaise. Among “biftecks” are the 14-ounce bone-in filet mignon and a 20-ounce bone-in rib-eye with the choice of béarnaise or morel mushroom sauce. The 32-ounce Prime bone-in rib-eye “tomahawk,” carved tableside for two, is accompanied by roasted rosemary potatoes and fricassée of baby turnips, onions and carrots. Among sweet finales are profiteroles and three flavors of house-made ice cream sandwiches. Some will find the on-staff cheesemonger to be helpful in picking some of the best post-dinner artisanal cheeses. Morels’ 90-seat patio offers views of the Strip. The framed photos in its 300-seat dining room are provocative.
