"David Chang’s Majordomo Meat & Fish at the Venetian, his largest restaurant yet in the former Carnevino, opened on Dec. 30, 2019, so I was excited to finally dine there, as I am a fan of Momofuku and Milk Bar (crack pie!), the latter of which is co-owned by Christina Tossi. Majordomo delivered big time with smoked prime rib, duck crispy rice with foie gras, Bing bread with butter and honey, pickled onion rings, macaroni, marinated mushrooms, beef tartare and a surprisingly fantastic fudge brownie. The restaurant was busy!"
"Celebrity chef David Chang’s Majordomo brings an Asian-inflected steakhouse to the Palazzo. Try the bing bread as a starter, a warm flatbread with optional add-ons like lamb and pickled jalapeño or shaved foie gras and cranberry, and then treat yourself to one of Chang’s white oak-grilled steaks or roasted black cod with bok choy. One other notable offering at Majordomo: A secret karaoke room."
"American, Asian, Seafood, Steakhouse, Dinner, Happy Hour, $$$$. Majordōmo Meat & Fish is a new restaurant from Chef David Chang. Pulling from a diverse range of food traditions, and inspired by the energy of Las Vegas."
