| - We were invited to Café 6 at Palms Place for a comped meal. Located on the 6th floor, this hideaway has a very inviting, upscale feel, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the pool.
We were attended to immediately by Jeannette, our wonderful server. Though the restaurant has what looks like a classy, full bar, there is no cocktail list. There is no wine list. Instead, the restaurant is selling off what remains from its predecessor's wine collection, and will not be replacing it. Huh????
The only Riesling available was the one we both dislike. Instead I ordered an Ace Pineapple Cider from the Beer/Cider menu, and hubby had a Sierra Nevada. If you don't like either, you're SOL. Or, you could have a million-calorie shake to go along with your This is Not Health Food meal. They're probably delicious. Fattening stuff always is (except for Fried Twinkies). It IS nice that they stock a selection of local brews, but as a non-beer drinker, the lack of wine is a huge turn-off for me. The pineapple cider was interesting - tasty, but too sweet even for me.
We started with the Baked Soft Pretzel, an enormous creature served with Dijon Mustard & Warm Cheese Sauce. Loved it, but needed to make room for dinner, so it was the first entry in the take-home bag.
We ordered a Dr. Pepper/Shroom burger for me, without the Dr. Pepper Glaze. I never liked that soda, but did want all the other stuff on it: the Roasted Portabello, White Cheddar, Caramelized Onions, and Dijon Mustard on a Brioche Bun. I asked for it medium, and it was slightly less than that, but in the good 'ol days I would get my burgers medium-rare, so I was fine with it, Health Dept. be damned.
Mr. G. got the Smokehouse Burger, and he enjoyed it a lot. We ordered one with onion rings and one with waffle fries, well-done. The onion rings were humungous, and I didn't dare eat more than one. The waffle fries were perfect: crisp, well-done but not burnt, simply scrumptious. I couldn't even finish my burger, and we took home a lot of fries and the remaining onion rings.
We finished up with dessert - the To Die For Chocolate. We were too full to go the whole nine yards, so we asked for the ice cream to be served and all the other stuff packed to go. We did miss the beautiful presentation that I've seen in some of the photos posted here, but the three scoops of chocolate ice cream that were served to us made me almost comatose, 'cause I ate too much of it.
Café 6 has a lot going for it: great atmosphere, big and tasty burgers, rings, fries, pretzels, desserts, stellar service. But not so great menu: just TWO entrees, a few "sammiches" that don't sound particularly enticing, a bar that looks like a bar, but maybe it's just a mirage (oh, that's a different hotel), Strip pricing. If you're craving a burger and a beer, this may just be your place.
