Blue Ribbon Las Vegas

Blue Ribbon Las Vegas is a hidden gem located on the third floor away from the casino. It was definitely worth the walk. The staff catered to us from the moment we arrived, providing impeccable service. The food was cooked to perfection, with my favorite being the creamy tomato soup. The Straight up Brooklyn (their take on Manhattan) was perfectly balanced. We appreciated the understated ambiance and the background music that was not too loud or too soft.

We were in search of a spot to grab a couple of drinks before catching a show at the Chelsea Theatre, and ended up at Blue Ribbon Las Vegas due to its proximity to the theatre and available bar seats. We started off with a Mai Tai and Let Me Clarify, both of which were surprisingly impressive. The appetizers on the menu caught our eye, so we decided to try the Pork Belly and Teriyaki Meatballs. The presentation of the dishes was top-notch, but more importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. We continued to enjoy a few more drinks, opting for the Southern Gentleman this time. Dave, the bartender, provided excellent service and engaging conversation throughout our visit. We are eager to return to try a full dinner at Blue Ribbon Las Vegas, and it seems like this will be our new go-to spot for pre-show drinks before concerts and events at the Cosmopolitan.

We were looking for a place to sit down and have a couple drinks before seeing a show in the Chelsea Theatre. We decided to stop in at Blue Ribbon since it's close to the theatre, and there were seats at the bar. Started off with a couple of drinks, a Mai Tai and Let Me Clarify. I was actually impressed with both drinks, and after looking at the menu, some of the appetizers sounded really good. We decided on the Pork Belly, and the Teryaki Meatballs. The plating of the food was really impressive, but more importantly the food was delicious. We ordered a couple more drinks and this time went with the Southern Gentleman. Dave the bartender made great conversation and was awesome. We are looking forward to going back and trying a full dinner. Also this will probably be our new spot to have drinks before concerts and shows at the Cosmopolitan.

As a former New Yorker, Blue Ribbon was my go to spot (and for a lot of chefs) late at night in Soho. This Blue Ribbon is nestled within the heart of The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas and is an ode to culinary craftsmanship, and its fried chicken is nothing short of iconic. Walking into Blue Ribbon, you are greeted by an ambiance that strikes the perfect balance between upscale sophistication and a warm, welcoming vibe. The dark wood, muted lighting, and plush seating set the scene for a dining experience that promises both comfort and luxury. However, while the menu boasts an array of dishes that are hard to resist, the star of the show is undoubtedly the fried chicken. It is, in essence, a masterclass in how this beloved dish should be prepared. The exterior crackles with each bite, thanks to a golden crust that is seasoned to perfection. It's this delicate balance of saltiness and subtle spice that makes the first bite unforgettable. Beneath this crispy layer, the chicken remains incredibly tender and juicy. One could argue that the secret lies in the marinade, or perhaps the precise cooking technique, but whatever the magic, Blue Ribbon has certainly mastered it. The dish is further elevated when paired with their honey wasabi sauce, a fusion of sweet and zesty flavors that brings a delightful kick, making every bite an adventurous journey for the palate. Moreover, Blue Ribbon's commitment to excellence extends beyond just the food. The service is great. The staff go out of their way to ensure that each guest feels special. Blue Ribbon at the Cosmopolitan is a must-visit in pursuit of the best fried chicken in town. The experience is sumptuous, memorable, and undoubtedly leaves you yearning for more.
