Entertainment company Lost Spirits is launching a new fine-dining restaurant called 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea on March 12 within the Lost Spirits Immersive Theatre & Show Space at Area15 in Las Vegas.
The 16-course dining experience is inspired by the Belle �poque novel of the same name and takes diners through Jules Verne's iconic book reimagined as an immersive restaurant. "Immersive dining experiences at this level are so few and far between that we're delighted to add one to the growing number of options in Las Vegas,” said Lost Spirits creator and CEO Bryan Davis, in a statement.
The dining room and kitchen will be located within the dreamscape of tasting rooms at Lost Spirits Distillery, located at Area15, Las Vegas' newest immersive event and entertainment district. With just one seating of 12 people weekly, all meals will be prepared by chef Taylor Persh, who worked for Bazaar by Jose Andres, Bestia, and Trois Mec.
"As a chef who eats, drinks, and sleeps fine dining, the hardest part of creating a new restaurant is imagining what I am going to do that hasn't been done before," said Persh. "I'm delighted that in all my research, I have never seen anything quite like this experience, outside of our former restaurant Fish or Flesh in Los Angeles."
Guests of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea will be treated to a one-of-a-kind experience, from the Georges Méliès-inspired dining room to exotic dishes, including Uni Crème Brûlée and Nori Bonbons. Outside the dining room, guests are free to enjoy the immersive shows and performances within Lost Spirits, which include acrobats, burlesque performances, jazz singers, and clowns.
The experience costs $240 per person, including dinner, drinks and cocktails, and show tickets to Lost Spirits.
