| - The great oysters that are made available to you smack dab in the middle of the desert at Zeffirino's - - - those oysters alone would earn this place 5-stars. Holy smokes... damn good oysters...
Wine selection is huge.
Steak? Great - order it rare. Accompanied by a bottle of Jordan Cabernet: HEAVEN ON EARTH.
Most of the pastas, but not all - very, very good.
Seafood entrees - - some are hugely impressive, but admittedly a bit inconsistent.
I've been here 4 times total now, 2 times on the same visit a couple of years ago. Those two times were amazing, knock your socks off GOOD. The latter two times have been a bit "off" once (hence, I knock off one star just for the inconsistency), and then amazing again the last time. Hmm.
Ambience is nice here as it overlooks the Grand Canal Shoppes. Lighting is nice, and if you don't sit on the balcony area - - a nice, private booth is also very cool here. Dining for two, all the way to dining for 50 can be accomodated here - - it's a large restaurant, much larger than it appears!!
Service has ALWAYS been excellent in true Vegas style. They charge you an arm and a leg, so I expect nothing less, but it is nice to be treated like royalty!
I don't even have to order here.
Just hearing we have reservations to this place conjures up images of fresh oysters on ice for me..... I could eat these oysters by the ton.
I kid you not.
But - I shall try it again on my next visit just to be sure what is happening here. There was a time I'd have given Zeffy's a strong, strong 5-stars.... but that one mediocre time still remains in my mind. Fluke? Off-night? It can happen... but not twice. Not in Vegas where there are too many good places to eat at to frequent a less-than-reliable establishment.
The jury's still out on this one.
