Kyu Happy Hour. The Strip

Kyu at Fontainebleau cooks over real wood fire, and that char and smoke are what set it apart from the average resort restaurant, so the items off the grill and ovens are the ones worth your order. The room is sleek and the energy runs high, which makes it a better fit for someone who wants atmosphere with their food than for a quiet meal. It works well for a group: order a few things, pass them around, and let the wood-fired plates anchor the table. Note that Kyu runs as a dinner spot, opening in the evening, so it is not a mid-afternoon stop. We could not find any published happy hour for this restaurant, so do not arrive expecting a set early-bird menu or special pricing. If you want to know about any current deals, the only reliable move is to call the restaurant and ask directly. This is solid pre-show fuel if you are catching something in the resort, or a relaxed dinner that skips the long reservation hunt. Fontainebleau sits at the north end of the Strip with valet and self-park on site.
