Alizé (CLOSED)

Up on the 56th floor of Palms, venerated local André Rochat has hired chef Mark Purdy to produce his classics and deliver some fresh takes on French cuisine. Many of the dishes, such as lobster thermidor and foie gras terrine, taste as great—in a grand, old-style fashion—as they sound. It comes at a price, but Rochat, who’s been cooking foie gras in Vegas since Dan Tanna was around, is the business.
