| - This new place opened up recently with some good hype attached. My friends and I decided to check this place out before the Prince concert at the Joint. I'm certainly glad I did!
When you check into the hostess stand, you think this place is pretty small. Don't be fooled by that. It's HUGE inside. A lot of seating inside and outside as well. Huge bar area extending outside as well. The outside area has a bunch of lounge tables. Our table was half chairs and half booth. Accommodated all people of my party. Our server was nice, seemed a bit flustered as we did have a lot of questions and most of our drink requests were "out of stock" which didn't make too much sense.
Their menu is not too pricey. Things go for $15-$30 depending on what you want. On top of that, they have an AWESOME secret menu given out on concert days. Since the Prince concert was there, they offered it to us! Super fast and easy, it's only $25 dollars and comes with 3 main components: starter salad OR soft pretzel, meatloaf OR fried chicken and a bag beer. GREAT DEAL, by the way. I chose the salad which was light a refreshing. Spring mix with balsamic vinaigrette. For the main course I got the fried chicken. You get various dark and white meat pieces. They gave a ton of that! It was accompanied with mashed potatoes and gravy, sauteed green beans and a biscuit. The chicken was super juicy and crispy on the outside! The gravy really made the mashed potatoes, which were also very creamy. The beans were sauteed with bacon and had a nice, light salty taste. The biscuit also was dense and flaky with creamy butter. SOOOOO GOOD!! The beer was a low end beer, always different. I got the Milwaukee's best. The thing that enhances the experience is the paper bag it comes in. Super creative for higher end restaurant. Shows the lighter side of "Las Vegas strip" type restaurant. I REALLY liked that :)
Definitely will be back for another try. I would like to try their fish and chips, Korean style ribeye cap and salmon. So many yummy toppings! If you're in the Hard Rock hotel, I highly recommend this place before a concert, show, or date night!
