"When you walk into the flagship Rockwell Group-designed Cathédrale in New York City, you’ll feel as though you’ve unearthed some forgotten hall—although the restaurant, with its 30-foot ceilings, is actually deep in the basement of new-build Moxy East Village. The new Cathédrale Las Vegas, also Rockwell-designed, feels just as grand, even though to get to it you split off into a narrow hallway off the lobby of Aria Las Vegas. The TAO Group restaurant brings all the group’s time-honored elements to the table: low lighting, grandeur, and the feeling you’ve discovered some delicious secret. This is a temple to coastal Mediterranean dishes of France, Spain, Italy and Greece served under a monumental ceiling installation. Think classics like The Omelette, topped with fingerling potato chips and Kaluga caviar, a whole Dover sole with caper butter and Clos Ste. Magdeleine rosé, and grilled octopus with tomato ragout. Cocktails riff on coastal flavors, like The Quaternary, with vodka, gin, vermouth, orange bitters, and Castelvetrano Olives and Kaluga caviar." - Andrea Bennett
