| - First of all, this place is super hard to find in the Venetian Grand Canal Shoppes area. Locate Tao, then use the exterior door to get the covered balcony, hang a right and it's past Rock House. I'm usually good at navigating casinos but this place was hidden! Worth seeking out though.
Came in for Restaurant Week lunch menu with Lauren C- $20, 3 courses, $4 donation to Three Square food bank, so a win all around. As expected, they are spectacularly good at carbs here, from the house focaccia you are served upon seating to the polenta croutons in the Caesar. We shared the spaghetti and meatball and chicken parm entrees, both with more than ample pasta for a lunch portion with a great robust sauce and well-seasoned protein. I'm not much of a dessert person, but the NJ style cheesecake was well made and nicely accented by strawberry compote and chocolate almonds.
Service was attentive and I really love the ambiance of the dining room. While this spot is hard to find, I'd come back to try more. As a local, RW is great for giving a discounted opportunity to try a place I otherwise wouldn't seek out (who voluntarily goes to the Strip these days?!), while giving back at the same time!
