The 266-seat restaurant features a theatrical ceiling installation made of 25 miles of chain and weighing 6,000 pounds and artwork by Portuguese street artist Vhils.
For those who visited Sage, which formerly occupied the Cathédrale footprint, the restaurant has been completely reorientated. Guests arrive through blue velour cascading drapery revealing a dramatically lit tunnel with flickering candles and carved artwork by Portuguese street artist Vhils, leading to the lounge.
“It’s a real anticipatory moment when you round the corner and see the beauty of that first room,” says Jason Strauss, co-CEO of Tao Group Hospitality. “We contacted Vhils, who is one of our favorite artists and convinced him to come on board.” Cascading blue-velour drapery marks the entrance to Cathedrale restaurant, while the a tunnel decorated with artwork by Vhils leads guests inside.In contrast to a long-held Las Vegas theory that passersby need to see into the restaurant in order to decide whether they want to patronize it, Strauss holds firm in his belief to enclose his venues completely. “We want to control the environment, the lighting, the sound and take the guests into an immersive experience,” Strauss says. “When you’re open to the casino floor, you compromise a lot of that. We also think that our menu, food, service and experience stand alone as a destination.” Cathedrale’s main dining room which is dominated by a ceiling installation by Willowlamp, a South African sculptural lighting designer.Further inside, the monumental ceiling draws attention in the main dining room, which is lined with blue leather banquettes. Great attention is paid to the lighting details, which ensure every angle photographs perfectly. Cathedrale’s omelette with fingerling potato chips and Kaluga caviar.
