A quick weekend getaway to Las Vegas is sometimes just what the doctor ordered.  Some warmer temperatures, some fine dining and adult beverages never hurt anyone. While in Vegas, we tried an amazing restaurant that I cannot contain how pleased I was with it.  Without further ado, here is my review for Rose.Rabbit.Lie in Las Vegas, NV.

For my birthday, some friends joined us in Las Vegas and at the suggestion of one of them, we decided to try Rose. Rabbit. Lie. in the Cosmopolitan Hotel on the Strip. 

The Cosmopolitan Hotel is making a name for itself as the foodie hotel.  There are a ton of fun restaurants there, including one I mentioned in a previous post that we took our kids to.  You can check out that post HERE.

Rose. Rabbit. Lie is not for kids.  It is fine dining with entertainment while you eat.  In fact, they have a no children policy for the restaurant.  This was fine with us since our trip this time was a kid free birthday vacation!

When coming upon the restaurant, it appears a little ominous; the big black doors and all.  Trust me it is gorgeous inside and worth the suspense.

There is just a small neon sign letting us know we made it to our destination.

Once inside it is like you entered another world apart from Las Vegas. You enter an octogonal holding room where you wait until they call for your reservation.  Oh, and by the way, you will need a reservation to get in here.

Once you enter the restaurant you are met with opulance. The huge wall with a depiction of The Garden of Earthly Delights is lit on one wall.  Funny thing, when I was a teenager I had a print of this hanging next to my bed that I had acquired at The Prado in Spain.  I was obsessed with it.  Funny to have such a pretty reminder of it here.

Let's talk about the cocktails!  This place has an amazing craft cocktail menu.

Here were two of our favorite options.

This one was called Birds of a Feather.  Love the whimsical glass and it was quite tasty.

Our table opted for the tasting menu which was $125 per person and was supposed to be 6 courses.  It ened up being 12 as the chef sent out several extra items for us to try!  It was amazing!  If you don't want to drop that much per  person, no problem, you can order off of the menu and get exactly what you want to have without dropping that kind of dough.  Since it was a special occasion we decided it would be super fun.

The muscles were like nothing I had ever tried before.  The broth they were in was like no other mussel broth I had had.  It was a little sweet, a little nutty and full of spice and flavor.  Literally people were mopping it up with the bread.
