| - A solid 4 stars.Not the absolutely perfect upscaley place, but a lot of good things going on here, such as:
1. Professional-esque waiters.
Crisp and smart service without too much pretentious flair, and without either the 'tude and generally subpar disinterested service you get in L.A. (sorry, actors, i do feel your pain!), or the over-the-top bubbly banter and bleached-out (as in impossibly blinding-white teeth) mugging you get, once again--you guessed it--in L.A.
2. Excellent, Concise, Varied Menu
Just like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, this menu size is JUST right. Not too much choice (b/c what place could possibly do ALL the food right on an overly huge menu???), but not too sparse either. AND, a great mix of seafood and meat dishes. Extra added bonus are some nice sides including several veggie sides.
3. Classy Semi-Funky, and 'Comfy' Ambience--
while i tend to like places that have slightly more dim/sultry lighting, it's still not TOO bright in here, and it's definitely a good mix of lively and relaxing. It genuinely feels like a place where people are having a good time, not an exclusive/trendomatic place where trendomatron people leer and snoot and pose and generally look unhappy and constipated as they scan the room people watching and watching to see if people are watching them (do ya get what i mean?)
4. Food. Oh yes the food.
Here's my rundown on the (after all) most important part of any dining establishment. duh. the food.
Appetizers---
Corn and Lobster soup--silky and delicious--4.5 stars
Crab 'Cakes' --more accurate description is an encrusted Crab Slab (in
shape and consistency) probably the weakest of the
dishes I had. Crab a bit bland and dry. 3 stars
Entrees
Grilled Halibut with Lobster Dumplings and Spinach--excellent flavor
although i would have liked the Halibut slightly less
cooked. 4 stars
Lobster--I was surprised by the size of the lobster, it looked to be at least 1.5 lbs, maybe even closer to 2 lbs. I'm spoiled growing up in new england, i guess outside of that area, i am accustomed to seeing 1 lb 'chicken' lobsters. And it tasted pretty darn good as well. 4 stars
Dessert--I must confess, I was so stuffed at this point (i was shoveled pieces of about 5 other people's dishes), I had to forgo the dessert, instead settling for a glass of Port.
The place t'aint cheap, and prices are in the $25-$50 range (or more) per entree. Such is Vega$ in 2008. It's at least assuring that you get what you pay for, which can't be said for many other Sin City celebrity chef-titled hot spots and/or those places that have the ridiculously tacky over the top one syllable names that make me chuckle--which are all in the same price range.
Done.
