Breaking From Tradition: Emeril Lagasse tries something new with varied menu at Table 10

Posted by: Jeff Hinson

Las Vegas Review-Journal
September 19, 2008
by Heidi Knapp Rinella

So now we come to the Palazzo’s Table 10, the name an affectionate nod to the table in his first New Orleans restaurant where planning for the restaurant was done and where staff gathered once it was open. In so many ways, it’s quite different from the widely known Emeril tradition.

For one thing, the menu is sort of all over the place. In less skilled hands, that tends to spell trouble, as an indication that a restaurant has no idea what it is and what it’s trying to do. Table 10, however, comes across as a cruise through the best of the world’s cuisines. Read more »

Toronto Star: The Palazzo raises the stakes on fine dining in Vegas

Toronto Star

Strip’s newest resort boasts 16 eateries, spa and spectacular shops

TABLE 10 (702-607-6363): Back in 1990 in New Orleans, when Emeril Lagasse opened his first restaurant, the staff would gather every morning and evening at Table 10 to discuss their hopes and dreams.

When The Palazzo asked Emeril to open a new restaurant there, he named it Table 10 so that, as Chef Jean Paul Labadie reminds us, “we’d always think about the important things that made us go into this business.”

This place crackles with the energy of a fine Cajun bistro, but there’s also an infusion of ingredients and impulses from around the world that keep things zapping.

Crab Remoulade Salad is done perfectly, a reminder that tradition is still being respected, but Lobster Pot Pie opens the doors to something that is wonderfully non-bayou, but still superb.

Like everything else at The Palazzo, Table 10 says “Bam!”, but it says it in its own understated way.
