| - The service was excellent, and our server was very attentive. The rest leaves a lot to be desired. The ambiance was dark, even mid-day, however it has a decent view of the airport. Still, the place felt like an old vestige of a restaurant that may have already seen its prime long ago. The food was not good, other than he artesian bread, which was definitely the highlight - but at $7 for a single piece - uh, no. The salads were passable, though I really didn't care for the overly sweetened house vinaigrette. My wife wasn't a big fan of the kale/legume salad, either. It was supposed to have some sweeter type of sesame-based dressing, but instead tasted bland. Then came the shrimp cocktail. The FIRST time they brought it out to us, the pieces of shrimp were covered in a mysterious pink creme sauce which we both passed on and sent back (Flag #1: Less-than-fresh ingredients are usually covered in something unnecessary). They were brought back out sans the pink creme. The cocktail sauce looked like a dark, jarred, thick ketchup-like mixture, and tasted sweet - similar to chili sauce sold in grocery stores that comes in a plain jar with a hint of horseradish added to invoke a similar flavor to that of actual cocktail sauce. The shrimp was obviously frozen and thawed using a boiling/steaming method and had lost any flavor resembling that of fresh shrimp by the time it was served. The shrimp had that taste of a slight hint of wet dog (a byproduct of it losing all its flavor in frozen storage....not unhealthy - just unsavory by any stretch), with the slightly rubbery consistency of a hard boiled egg white. I had ordered a linguini with clams and spicy red sauce. My wife ordered the vegan meatloaf. They brought me linguini with red sauce (no clams - a mistake that actually only brought me relief after having tried the shrimp). My entree was so saturated with butter I had to send it back as well. I got it back without any butter. The sauce was canned. $20 for the pasta - and it tasted like what they would serve at a really cheap buffet at best. My wife was impressed with the meatloaf, though she didn't care for the tomato sauce either. It seems like the vegan options show potential, however it was too little to save our overall unpleasant lunch experience. Two appetizers, two ice teas, two salads, two entrees, one piece of artesian bread...$103 later and - rest assured - we will not be returning. We've spent less on the strip and had actual fresh seafood and real cocktail sauce (not jarred). I don't do much yelping any more, but at this level of disappointment, I had to write a review.
