| - Here for dinner at 6:30 p.m. on a Friday night, July 4th weekend and we were seated immediately. A square table for four, we sat in our mismatched, padded high back chairs. All of us sunk. Me, a 6' foot tall man, having to arch my arms up to grasp a fork and knife. I felt worse for the girls. I used to work with interior designers so all I could think of was, "Who picked out these disfunctional chairs for the restaurant? Does anyone height check to see that they are suitable to dine in? Are there some telephone books I can put beneath my bottom so that I can see what's on the table?"
Very important... There are two menus here. The full dinner menu and the bar snacks/small bites menu. No matter where you sit in the restaurant (at the bar or not), you can order from the bar menu. If your server doesn't hand one to you ask for it. Some of the dishes over lap, but there are others that don't.
Bread Basket - Good. There were four different breads, including pretzel bread with bacon bits and caraway seed buns with pumpkin seeds on top. A salted butter and a cheese dipping sauce.
Little Piggy Deviled Eggs - Could definitely taste the bacon in the deviled egg spread. They serve you four egg whites empty and you fill them yourself with however much deviled egg spread you want. It wasn't whoa crazy crazy, but everyone enjoyed these.
Fresh Fried Potato Chips with Herbs & French Onion Dip - The potato chips were my favorite food of the night! Light and crispy, perfect for snacking on. I could've downed the whole bowl of chips myself, but I opted to share. I think it's $2 more if you'd like them done Salt & Vinegar style.
Fish and Chips/Cod and Chips - Three generously sized pieces served with mushy peas (mushed peas mixed in with whole peas) and fries. I liked the peas better than the fries, which is sad because usually the potato always wins with me. The fries were too soft for my liking.
Pan Seared Diver Scallops - My friend loved and devoured these. 4 large scallops with artichoke hearts, carrots and spring garlic. A light dish for pub food.
Sheperd's Pie - The other friend said this was okay. No complaints.
Burger - Was okay. My friend swapped out her fries for the Smashed Fingerling Potatoes at no extra charge.
Smashed Fingerling Potatoes - Wanna enjoy your meal that much more? Swap out your fries (or some other side) for this. The fingerling potatoes have much crunch and flavor than the fries. Cooked with butter, double cream and black truffle! Mmmm... the truffle. So rich but so good!
A few notes and thoughts:
If you don't have one, get your Caesar's Players' Club Card before eating here. Each dish is discounted $1-2 as long as one person in your party has the free players' card.
The restaurant is pricey considering it's "only" pub food. I know, I'm in Vegas... pay to play. But $28 fish and chips and a $20 burger? There was no "wow" factor with any of the major dishes. Food quality overall is not whoa, but it's solid.
They have a good selection of beers, but I thought they'd have more UK beers on tap. They didn't even have Smithwick's or Harp on tap or in a bottle.
Our server was nice and brought us all that we needed, but it took awhile to track her down a couple of times because she had too many tables to watch. The restaurant could probably schedule a couple of extra servers on the weekends.
Overall it's 3.5 stars, with price knocking down the rating. When it's $180 for four people with three of us having one drink each (and no wine), that's pricey for pub food.
