    My bf and I came here and had such a memorable experience. We had a reservation for around 8:30pm and although there was a little bit of a wait, it honestly wasn't an issue for us. We had requested a window seat, and the host was super friendly and let us know there would be a wait. It ended up being completely worth it because we were seated outside on a private balcony. Just the two of us at a single table with a perfect view of the Bellagio fountains. Such a special moment. Our server was also amazing. Very informative about the menu and honestly great at suggestive selling lol. We ended up trying everything he recommended, and there were zero regrets. Every dish was so good. The menu is more shareable, appetizer-style plates, which made it even more fun for a date night. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a cute, intimate dinner with great food and a beautiful view.

    The view is great. We paid the minimum $125 per person food and beverage spend for a patio table, and while the view was definitely worth it, we didn't love the meal and wouldn't hurry to go back. We had the rock shrimp, which was pretty standard; the gyoza, which was good but served with a tomato-based sauce that didn't belong on the plate; a simple California roll; the surf and turf - steak was overcooked and the wasabi butter was not working with the lobster... sauces here are not a strength. We also ordered a side of potato puree, which was pretty good. But when aren't they? Our dining experience was not made better by the many diners from inside the restaurant coming out to do photo shoots almost constantly. Some parents just let their children come on the patio and hang out I guess so they could have some "mommy/daddy time". I wouldn't have paid for the patio if I knew the view came with babysitting duty. If you love Japanese food you may find this worth it, but this felt like the kind of meal you can get anywhere - just next to a lake so here it's a lot more expensive. ,

    I had high hopes for this restaurant and with the prices they charge I had high expectations as well. The yellowtail serrano was great, tender thinly sliced fish with a bit of spice from the pepper. Paired with the cucumber salad was a nice combo of spicy/tender with sour/crunch from the salad. I was a bit disappointed by the Crispy Kalbi roll, even with the slaw on top there wasn't much a textural element, no crunch as I had expected by the name. Clear soup was pretty standard fare, something you can get anywhere. Our service was good, very formal and stiff, but he made sure everything came out correctly. Ambiance matches the pricing, quite upscale. Located in the Bellagio, you can catch a glimpse of the water show from the dining room which is neat. Overall an okay experience, though one I feel was not worth the price tag. I was expecting to be blown away and only felt a breeze.

    Amazing food amazing view so much to say so little time. It was our last night in town and we wanted to try Sushi without leaving the hotel. We were quickly seated and we ordered the Omakase. Great choice.

    This place is a must! We started with the Akira Back Tuna and House Pickles which consisted of pickled carrots, radishes and cucumbers, delicious. Our meal was the Mile High withTempura Crab, Avocado, Asparagus, Topped with Mixed Sashimi, Spicy Ponzu Aioli, omg, everything was superb! And don't get me started with the service which was top notch! Our water was never empty and our places were removed swiftly. The mochi with berries was so delicious and the lychee drink was amazing!! Definitely will be back!!

    I wasn't looking forward to this restaurant that my friend picked but I'm so happy she picked it and I went! First of all, the service was above and beyond, (thank you Theo) and you have a great view of the fountains out by the patio, and the food was so delicious! I had the Braised Wagyu Beef Short ribs with such amazing sauce, a lychee martini that was so good I ordered two, and the dessert was so amazing I forgot what it was called but it was like a bananas foster sauce with apple pie sort of thing! So good! My friend loved her yellowtail roll and her Mile High roll. We ordered the Kimchi Brussel Sprouts as well and they were just ok. I'd skip those...food was really good I can't wait to be back next time I'm in town for a trade show! I went back and had the filet mignon. It was delicious!

    Food always amazing. Tuna pizza. Mile high roll just to mention a couple. Service - Mickel - delightful. Sunny - always so lovely. We sat outside. Doesn't get better than that.

    A beautiful dinner spot. Yellowtail is located inside the Bellagio and is stunning. It is one of those places that feels upscale while still feeling very intimate. I had a bit of an unconventional (but still nice) experience at Yellowtail. My friends and I had a reservation for a Saturday evening. Like many of the restaurants on the Strip, there is a missed reservation fee of $25 per person. It was just my luck that we were running late. When we realized we would not make it in time, we tried giving them a call a few times but received no answer. We ended up being just over 30 minutes late, hoping that there was a chance we would still have a table. To our surprise, we were still kindly offered a table. The host said that the original table we booked in the dining room was no longer available but that we could be seated in the lounge (the front of the restaurant that faces the casino). We were grateful to even be given a spot so we accepted the offer and took a seat. This spot is dark, moody, and very ambient. It definitely feels classy. Sitting facing the casino felt a bit awkward and like we were in all the action. We directly faced one of the main walking paths to the other restaurants. In a way, it's nice to have some people watching, but of course, a view of the Bellagio fountains would have been to die for. The table setup was super cute. The napkins and chopsticks were adorable yet classy. First, we ordered the Lychee Martinis. They were super good. The flavor was not too overpowering. It was perfectly sweet and had a flower perfect for some photos. By the time the drinks were brought out, we realized we would not have time to order a full meal. It was very busy and the wait for just the drinks was quite long. We sipped our drinks for a while before one of the waitresses stopped by and said that, in order to sit in the lounge, we would need to order food. So, we ordered the Salmon Tiradito appetizer. The portion was quite small (and of course pricey) for three people. It was very light and refreshingly. I personally was not a huge fan of the flavor but I could tell that it was very high quality. I hope. with some better planning on my end, that I could revisit Yellowtail and try more of the menu!

    Third time here and still really enjoyed it. Brought some out of town coworkers as they were wanting sushi. Reservation is recommended. As we were walking from the hostess to our table in the back area, my coworker was loving the ambience. As we were approaching our table, you can see the Bellagio fountain. What an amazing view. The service was OK, the food made up for it. All our sashimi orders were perfection. The sauce is the sashimi the taste perfect. I still say it beats the sushi restaurant in Caesar's Palace, price, and food quality. I will be back.

    This place was really nice. The service was ok. The pictures that I am sharing is of a salad. However it has too much vinegar where it wasn't edible. They did not comp the salad which was disappointing because I maybe took two bites of it and pushed it off to the side. It was definitely an overpriced salad. It just was really beautiful to look at basically. Everything else that I ate was delicious. Even the miso soup.

    I'll say a really cool and trendy sushi spot at Bellagio. Great quality sushi and they make great drinks here too. Service is exceptional and the crowd here in just chill in general

    Rosè, Edamame, Big Eye Tuna Pizza.
    Vanny K.

    Since we had time to kill for a show, we chose Yellowtail since it's the perfect place to pregame inside our hotel. The beautiful staff goes hand and hand with the vibes here, from the hip and clean decor, to the romantic overlooking sights of the Bellagio fountains all in one spot. We ordered a bottle of Rosè to have with a couple of Savory Edamame, Big Eye Tuna Pizzas, the Mile High, and Ugagi Rolls. Each dish was special in its own way, and paired really well with the drinks. After all these years, Yellowtail still delivers on every aspect.

    Our party was not expecting this place to be phenomenal! We enjoyed a nice variety of food and the service was excellent. Ohhh we tried the Ube coffee martini and wowza!! Delicious!! Did I mention how good the food was?! lol So good that we want to return!

    How is it for music and grabbing drinks? going there next month for some picky foods but as far as a dj music and just hanging out, does it offer that vibe? or is it strictly just a dinner spot...eat and leave?

    Actually there is a DJ on Friday & Saturday nights after 8:30pm.

    Is this kid friendly? Want to bring our 2 year old

    There were some very young children there when I was visiting, although the menu didn't have a lot of kid type options that I could see. Its a fancy place with fancy prices that caters more to adults.

    Dress / attire?

Firstly, if you've ever fancied a bar that is within a multi-level glass chandelier, say no more! The ambiance is luxuriously extravagant no doubt, with the beautifully designed chandelier glowing off a tranquil purple. You feel as if you've transported to another world. Now, as for the drinks, I have to be completely honest: they fall flat of the wonderful atmosphere. We ordered a new menu margarita drink with a unique type of minty flower meant to enhance the drink and it had an unusual effect nonetheless, one we weren't the largest fans of unfortunately. At $25 a drink poured in a glass 2/3 filled with ice, I'm not sure how worth this truly was. The Raspberry Reminiscing was decent in flavor with an abundance of sweetness but quite limited in volume. Both drinks seemed super watered down so don't expect to feel the alcohol! My folks who accompanied hardly drink and they even complained about this especially when being charged nearly $30 for a drink. Says a lot in my view! As for the service, it was fairly quick and attentively thorough. My only pet-peeve was I thought the server was a bit judgy and perhaps a bit harsh. I felt as though I was shunned when requesting my go-to IPA at first before she went on describing the new flowery cocktail they offered. Perhaps, management at The Cosmopolitan can take this into account: let the customer order what they're most comfortable with in the future without jumping ahead. All in all, if you're looking for a fancy chandelier for the evening, you've truly got one! A bar? Well, not so certain on that unfortunately. There are PLENTY of better bars along the Vegas Strip with drinks of a lot more umpf and value which will do you MUCH better if that's what you desire.
