| - Went to have dinner last night with the wife. Really good food. My true rating is 3.5
Made reservation online easily through their website. Got a table at 10:30 one hour before their closing time and the place was full. Good energy, music and we were seated promptly.
Server's greeting was friendly, asked us if this was our first time dining there and answered any questions we had.
Ordered 2 featured cocktails and the following menu items.
Oysters, Tuna tartare, Dolmades, Kibbeh, Grilled Octopus, Fish kebob, Spicy potatoes with cilantro aioli, and the Bone marrow. Finishing with fig and amaretto panacotta.
Overall the experience was good.
The good:
- Oysters were good, were topped with this lemony confite that went very well with the freshness of the oysters.
- The Spicy potatoes were my favorite
- The Kibbeh was really good, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Even though I did get one that included what felt like a piece of rubber band that I had to deal with unfashionably.
- Octopus was really really good!
- Fish kebob
The average:
- Tuna tartare was...meh
- Dolmades.... mayo? really??? I already loathe mayonaisse, but now with dolmades?
The bad:
- They were out of bone marrow which we had read many great things about. Disappointing
- Last part of the service:
Server was nice and professional, until she decided she wanted to go home, then she started dropping off checks in the likes of her casino coworkers, one table after another. When she reached our table to ask if wanted something else (our check in hand) we had just been served last couple of dishes. I reminded her we wanted to have dessert and when we ordered the Flourless Chocolate Cake (wife is celiac) and we were told that it takes 20 minutes to be ready....along with other 2 or 3 dessert items.
Really Cleo???!
Is this true, or should we better order dessert at the beginning of our meal to be able to try the one we actually want? Maybe a heads-up at the beginning of our meal?
This is a great place to eat in Las Vegas. That is why I still gave the 4 stars instead of bringing rating down to 3. We chose a later time to eat because we had a late show to attend, and we arrived 1 hour before closing time. We ordered a decent amount of food and drinks. I believe we were a pretty good table based on my past experience as a waiter. We don't go out to eat that often, we are locals in Las Vegas so to feel that rushed at the end of our meal the moment the clock ticked closing time was very impersonal and impolite.
Will probably go back, but there are options available in town and as the buffet as SLS shows this is a crucial point for restaurants at SLS to not drop the ball with details like these. Good luck and thanks for reading.
