We have been coming to Las Vegas for our Anniversary for 25+ years and we always have dinner at a very high end restaurant. One of those was the Stratosphere's "Top of The World". After a bad experience there, we started shopping around for an exceptional restaurant to celebrate our special day each year. We tried several but found nothing that really impressed us enough to make us return. This year the Jockey Club Management had a recommendation, in their weekly events flyer, for the "Ocean One". Although the prices didn't indicate this restaurant to be very upscale, we decided to try it. We arrived early for our reservation and were promptly seated. From then on we were astonished by:
1. The Waiter's (Angel) positive and gracious attitude.
2. Clean and pleasant atmosphere.
3. Menu choices/prices.
4. Ease in which substitutions were allowed.
5. Food (Filet Mignon) cooked exactly as ordered.
6. Manager's concern for our comfort and his gracious attitude.
After dinner we paid the bill and then decided to stay for drinks. The drinks were promptly served and we were told we should take our time. Angel returned several times to check on our drink status. We generally provide a better than average tip for good service and this night was no exception. When we paid the bill for drinks, he questioned our tip amount two times. This doesn't happen often in the restaurants we generally eat at. If a server thinks there may have been a mistake in the tip amount being too much, they generally take the money and run.
Don't let the prices fool you. This is, in our opinion, a 1st class restaurant with an excellent Chef, Manager and service.
Thanks to Ocean One and the Jockey Club Management (Lori?) for a great evening. we will be back.
P.S.: How appropriate that we had an "Angel" for a waiter on our anniversary.
