"Is there a more Vegas restaurant in Los Angeles than Mother Wolf? What happens when Mother Wolf opens in Vegas, then? The answers to those questions don’t really matter, especially for the dozens of eager Sunday evening diners at the new Fontainebleau resort restaurant, where chef Evan Funke does a near-perfect facsimile of his Hollywood original. Inside, find soaring ceilings, columns, plush banquettes, and an open kitchen belting out terrific extruded Roman pastas and large shareable secondi. I was especially enamored by the branzino alla brace, sporting just the right amount of charred skin and super-moist flesh underneath. The lemon-fennel-castelvetrano-mint slaw worked as a crunchy, tangy foil with the bright salsa verde keeping each bite interesting. Don’t worry, Angelenos: The grilled fish is also on the Hollywood menu." - Eater Staff
